Aether Privacy Policy

Last updated 28 October 2026

This policy is published by Ben McCarthy, the developer of Aether, and explains what the app does with your data.

I believe that using great software shouldn’t come at the expense of your privacy. That’s why none of the apps I’ve built relies on advertising as its business model. The online advertising industry is predicated on extracting as much personal data about you as possible so that you can be shown the most accurately targeted ads. I find the whole situation deeply unpleasant.

I believe my apps are worth paying for and hopefully you feel the same. By charging a fair price for my work, I can keep our interests aligned, and your privacy respected.

On your device

Aether works entirely on your device, needs no permissions, and sends nothing anywhere.

Support Email

If you email me for support, those emails will be stored, as they may be relevant for solving future issues. Emails are not shared with any third parties. If you request the deletion of a support email, I’m happy to do so.

If you email me from within Aether, some basic information will be attached to the email, such as your device model and operating system version.
