Traytidy and your privacy

This page sums up what Traytidy does with your data. The Hedgerow privacy policy covers every app, the website and purchases in full.

What stays on your PC

  • Settings and data live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hedgerow\Traytidy on your PC.
  • Your settings and the place you chose for each app's tray icon.
  • The current tooltip text of tray icons Traytidy has read from the screen, so the drawer can show up-to-date names.
  • A note of temporary tray changes (Clean mode, icons shown for a while) and the values to put back, so they can be undone after a crash.
  • The last 10 crash reports, kept locally whether or not you send them.
  • Windows' own per-icon "show on taskbar" setting, which Traytidy changes when you move an icon and puts back when Clean mode ends.
  • A trial start date in the registry under your user account.
  • A Start with Windows entry in your user Run key (Direct edition; on by default, turn it off in Settings › General).

When Traytidy goes online

  • License activation (Direct edition): when you enter a key, Traytidy sends the key, your PC’s name, the app’s name and an anonymous device ID to our license server. About once a week it checks the license again, sending the key and the activation’s ID.
  • Update checks (Direct edition): only when you choose Check for updates. The request includes the app’s name and version, nothing else.
  • Crash reports: off unless you turn them on. If Traytidy crashes, it saves a report on your PC; with reports turned on it also sends that report, with file paths removed, to crash.hedgerowapps.com.

Good to know

  • To find and click tray icons, Traytidy reads the list of icons Windows remembers, the running programs that own them, and the tray buttons Windows shows on screen. App names, icons and tooltips never leave the PC.

There are no ads, and no analytics or usage tracking.

Microsoft Store edition

The Store edition doesn’t contact our license server or check for updates itself: Microsoft handles the purchase, the license and updates, under Microsoft’s privacy statement.
