Privacy Policy

Overview

Mongon is a native macOS application that connects directly to your MongoDB databases. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

No Intermediary Servers

Mongon connects directly from your Mac to your MongoDB servers. Your queries, documents, and database contents never pass through our servers. We have no access to your data.

Credential Storage

Connection details (hostnames, usernames, passwords, connection strings) are stored on your device inside the app's sandboxed private container — a location other apps cannot read, protected by macOS security and, on FileVault-enabled Macs, encrypted at rest with the rest of your disk. They are never sent to Mongon — we operate no servers.

CloudKit Sync

If you use the CloudKit Sync feature (Premium), your saved connections sync across your devices via your private CloudKit database, tied to your iCloud account. Apple encrypts this data in transit and at rest; if you enable Advanced Data Protection on your Apple account, it is end-to-end encrypted. We cannot read or access this data — it never passes through infrastructure we operate.

Analytics

Mongon collects anonymous usage analytics to help us understand how the app is used and to improve the experience. This includes:

• Screen views and feature usage (e.g. which features are used most)
• App version and macOS version
• Crash reports

Analytics data is anonymous and cannot be tied to your identity or your database contents. We do not collect query content, document data, connection strings, hostnames, or any database information.

Subscriptions & Purchases

Premium is available as a one-time purchase or an auto-renewable subscription through the App Store. Subscribers receive a 2-week free trial. After the trial period, the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled. All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple. We do not collect or have access to your payment information, billing details, or subscription status.

You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID settings.

Third-Party Services

Mongon uses the following third-party services:

• Apple CloudKit — for syncing connection data across devices (Premium)
• Firebase Analytics — for anonymous usage analytics and crash reporting
• Apple StoreKit — for subscription and purchase processing

Data Retention

All app data (connections, preferences, saved queries) is stored locally on your Mac and in your iCloud account if you use CloudKit Sync. If you delete the app, local data is removed. To delete CloudKit data, sign out of iCloud or remove the data from your iCloud storage.

Children's Privacy

Mongon is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

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