Privacy

During its runtime, TripMode locally records data about your network usage to be able to show data traffic history and limit data usage when required.

Remote records

TripMode never sends usage or personal data to remote servers. All your personal internet browsing data remains on the local computer and is never shared with anyone. Purchase data, which contains no data linked to your identity, is collected to allow licensing and subscriptions to work. Learn more

Local records

History

TripMode uses a local database in its sandbox container accessible only by itself by default to store usage data required for data volume accounting and history display. The database has the same security level as your personal files contained for example in your Documents folder. If FileVault is enabled, your disk is encrypted and TripMode’s database will be encrypted at the same time.

Shadowed domains

The shadowed domains that can be defined in Privacy preferences are stored in the session Keychain using symmetrical encryption, for which for session password unlocks the key. This is why your session password or a biometric identification is required in order to display the Privacy preferences panel. This prevents unauthorized views of your shadowed domains in the case your computed is left unattended and unlocked.
