Privacy policy.

The short version

Ohms Proof collects no data. None.

No analytics. No telemetry. No Ohms Proof account. No personal data. No usage metrics. No error beacons. No advertising IDs. No fingerprinting. No crash reports. No data of any kind about you, your device, or your content is collected, transmitted, or shared by Ohms Proof. The evidence records you create stay in the app container on your Mac unless you export them, as described below.

Everything Ohms Proof does runs entirely on your Mac, using the app and the operating system's local frameworks. There is no cloud component or remote service, and no Ohms Proof account.

What the app never sends

The app sends none of the following to Silo Systems: your name, email, phone, or address; your IP address, device identifier, or any hardware fingerprint; your content and anything derived from it; session timing, feature usage, or behavioural data; crash reports. The app does not phone home, ever. If you contact support by email, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to send.

Outbound traffic

The only outbound network traffic, and the app sends none of it to Silo Systems:

1. App Store services. The App Store delivers Ohms Proof updates and your purchase receipt, and Apple's rating prompt may occasionally appear in the app; any rating or review you choose to leave goes to Apple. This traffic is between your Mac and Apple's servers and carries none of your evidence.
2. App Store purchase check. Each launch asks Apple's StoreKit to confirm the App Store purchase, which may contact Apple, and the Try Again button asks Apple to refresh that record, which may ask you to sign in to the App Store. While this Mac remembers a verified purchase, Ohms Proof opens when StoreKit reports that it is unavailable, such as while offline; if StoreKit gives no answer within 30 seconds, the app shows Try Again instead. A refunded or revoked purchase clears that record. None of your evidence, packets, or notes is attached to these requests; Silo Systems runs no verification server and receives nothing.
3. Links you click. If you click an external link inside the app, your default browser handles the request. Ohms Proof is not involved.

Permissions we request, and why

• Files and folders you choose. Import only the audio and evidence files you select, write evidence packets only to destinations you choose, and read a packet folder only when you pick it for Verify Evidence Packet, all through the macOS file picker. Imported evidence is copied into the app's private container. Verify reads the packet and changes nothing in it.

Ohms Proof does not request protected resources beyond those listed above. System permission controls remain in effect at all times.

On-device data you create

Your content and everything derived from it live inside the macOS app container at ~/Library/Containers/com.silosystems.ohmsproof/Data/Library/Application Support/OhmsProof/. Files you explicitly choose to import are read only for that user-initiated workflow, and durable exports live in the folder you explicitly choose. They are yours; we do not have access to them. Export receipts, which hold a record's title, the packet name, the export time, and the manifest's SHA-256, stay in the container after you remove that record so packets you already sent can still be checked. Removing the Ohms Proof app bundle may leave its macOS sandbox data in place; delete evidence records first, then use macOS storage controls for any remaining container data. Files in user-selected locations remain until you explicitly delete them.

Third-party components

Ohms Proof uses Apple system frameworks and no third-party runtime components for app processing. No third party receives data about you from Ohms Proof.

Children's privacy

Ohms Proof is rated 4+. Because no personal data is collected from any user, no special treatment is required for users under 13. Same policy applies regardless of age: nothing collected.

Changes

If we ever materially change how Ohms Proof handles data, we will publish an updated version of this page, announce the change prominently in the release notes, and require explicit consent in-app before any new collection begins. The current policy is: nothing is collected.

2026-11-09: corrected the outbound traffic section, which left out the App Store purchase check that version 1.1.2 makes at launch through Apple's StoreKit. It sends Apple none of your evidence. App data handling is otherwise unchanged.

2026-10-27: corrected the section on what the app never sends. A support email reaches us; the app itself still sends Silo Systems none of the data listed there.
