Privacy Policy

Welcome to SSH Jumper. Your privacy matters, and this policy explains what information the app handles when you use it. In short: SSH Jumper does not collect, transmit, or sell your personal data. Everything you save stays on your Mac or is sent only to the servers you choose to connect to.

SSH Jumper does not collect any personal information. There are no accounts, no analytics SDKs, no advertising frameworks, no crash-reporting services, and no tracking of any kind. The app does not send usage data to the developer.

Server profiles (names, addresses, usernames, tags, notes and preferences) are stored locally in a JSON file inside your user Library at ~/Library/Application Support/SwiftConnect/servers.json. App settings are stored in macOS user defaults. The known-hosts file used for host key verification is also kept locally. None of these files are uploaded anywhere.

Passwords and private keys are stored in the macOS Keychain, protected by the operating system. They are never written to the JSON profile file. When a private key is needed for a connection, the app creates a temporary file readable only by your user account and deletes it when the connection closes. You can disable password saving at any time and remove every stored credential with “Forget All Credentials” in Settings.

SSH Jumper connects only to the servers you configure. Connection data travels directly between your Mac and your server over SSH/SFTP; there is no intermediary service and no developer-operated backend. Host keys are verified against a local known_hosts file, and a changed key will cause the connection to be refused.

The app includes SwiftTerm, an open-source terminal emulator, to provide the integrated SSH terminal. SSH Jumper uses the OpenSSH client included with macOS for SFTP transport. These components do not collect or transmit your data.

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last Updated” date. Significant changes will be reflected in the app's release notes.
