IronSync Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 24, 2026

This privacy policy applies only to the Windows app IronSync (Microsoft Store identity Ironwoodapps.IronSync when published), published by Ironwood Apps (publisher display name Ironwoodapps).

Contact: support@ironwoodapps.com

1. Summary

IronSync does not collect, upload, sell, or share your personal data with Ironwood Apps. Sync profiles, settings, and logs stay on your PC. IronSync does not create an Ironwood Apps account and does not ask you to sign in to use core sync features.

2. Who is responsible

Ironwood Apps is the developer and publisher of IronSync. For privacy questions about IronSync, email support@ironwoodapps.com.

3. What IronSync does

IronSync synchronizes folders you choose on Windows — including local paths, mapped drives, and UNC shares — in modes such as one-way backup, one-way mirror, two-way merge, and one-way move. You can analyze planned changes, run on a schedule, or watch folders while the app is open.

4. Information processed on your device

IronSync processes the following information locally on your PC:

  • Folder and file metadata needed to compare and copy, update, move, or delete files you configured
  • Sync profile definitions (paths, modes, schedules, exclude patterns, and related options)
  • App settings you choose (theme, transfer tuning, confirmation preferences, window placement)
  • Optional local logs and diagnostic exports you generate for troubleshooting (for example under %LocalAppData%\IronSync)
  • Optional encrypted profile backup files you create and store yourself when you export with a password

These materials are not transmitted to Ironwood Apps servers as part of normal sync operation.

5. Information we do not collect

  • We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or contacts for an IronSync account
  • We do not upload your file contents or sync profiles to Ironwood Apps
  • We do not use advertising SDKs or sell data to data brokers
  • We do not build advertising profiles from IronSync usage
  • We do not require an Ironwood Apps login to run the app

6. Internet use and third parties

IronSync is designed to run its core sync features without contacting Ironwood Apps. Network activity occurs when you sync to or from network locations you choose (mapped drives, UNC shares, or other paths you enter).

Additional network activity may occur only when:

  • You open a link from the app (for example this privacy policy or the product page) in your default browser.
  • Microsoft Store handles install, update, licensing, or purchase if you obtain IronSync from the Store. Microsoft’s privacy statement applies to Store services.

7. Data retention and deletion

Profiles, settings, and logs remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall and remove the app’s local data folders. Uninstalling from the Store or the desktop installer may leave user data under %LocalAppData%\IronSync unless you remove that folder.

8. Children’s privacy

IronSync is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. The effective date at the top will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
