Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 5, 2026

        TL;DR: EtherNet/IP Explorer is a native macOS app. It does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. All CIP communication happens on your local network. No analytics, no tracking, no phone-home.
      

What EtherNet/IP Explorer Does

EtherNet/IP Explorer is a native macOS application for EtherNet/IP (CIP) communication. It operates as a CIP client to browse devices, read/write attributes, and establish implicit/explicit connections. It runs entirely on your Mac.

Data Collection

EtherNet/IP Explorer does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. Specifically:

No CIP data leaves your Mac. All attribute values, assembly data, and communication logs exist only in the app's memory and your local storage.
No device information is collected. IP addresses, connection parameters, and device identities entered in the app are stored locally for your convenience and never sent anywhere.
No usage analytics. The app does not include any analytics SDK, tracking pixels, or telemetry. We do not know how you use the app.
No crash reporting. The app does not send crash reports automatically. If you report a bug, you choose what information to share.

Network Communication

The app makes network connections only to the EtherNet/IP devices you explicitly configure:

EtherNet/IP: Connects to the IP address and port you specify to browse CIP objects, read/write attributes, and establish connections
Device Discovery: Sends identity broadcast requests on your local network to discover EtherNet/IP devices
License activation (DMG version only): If you purchased via Polar.sh, the app contacts dl-enip-explorer.voltrus.id to validate your license key. This sends only your license key and a device identifier — no other data.

The Mac App Store version does not include license activation — Apple handles everything.

Local Storage

The app stores the following data locally on your Mac:

Connection profiles (IP, port, connection parameters) — stored in app preferences
CIP object bookmarks and browsing history — stored in app preferences
License activation data (DMG version only) — stored in macOS Keychain
Communication logs — stored in memory only, cleared when the app closes

All local data can be deleted by removing the app. No residual data is left on your Mac after deletion.

License Purchase

Licenses for the DMG version are processed through Polar.sh. We receive only your email address and purchase details. We do not receive or store payment card information. License keys are managed by Polar.sh.

The Mac App Store version is processed by Apple. We receive only the information Apple provides through App Store Connect (sale reports with anonymized data).

Children's Privacy

EtherNet/IP Explorer is an industrial automation tool. It is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Cookies and Analytics

This product page (voltrus.id/enip-explorer/) uses privacy-focused analytics (One Dollar Stats) that does not use cookies or track individual users. The app itself contains zero analytics.

Third-Party Services

Polar.sh — Payment processing and license key management (DMG version only). Their privacy policy applies to purchase data.
Apple App Store — Payment processing and distribution (App Store version). Apple's privacy policy applies.
Cloudflare — Hosts the license validation and update server. No personal data is stored on Cloudflare beyond temporary request logs.

Data Retention

We retain your email address (from Polar.sh purchases) for as long as necessary to provide license support. We do not maintain any database of users, devices, or usage patterns. You can request deletion of your purchase data by emailing us.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

Request access to the personal data we hold about you
Request deletion of your personal data
Object to processing of your personal data
Request a copy of your data in a portable format

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
