xDuplicates Local Scanning

xDuplicates is a Windows duplicate-file finder designed to run locally on your PC. It scans folders you choose and may read file metadata and file contents to compare files and detect duplicates. This scanning happens on your device.

No File Uploads

xDuplicates does not upload your scanned files, file contents, thumbnails, previews, or folder contents to xDuplicates servers.

Local Settings

xDuplicates stores app settings locally on your device, including preferences such as theme, scan method, deletion mode, excluded folders, scan history, wishlist voting ID, and prompt preferences.

Wishlist

The Wishlist feature can submit ideas and votes to a Supabase database. Wishlist submissions may include the text you type, selected category/request type, app version, and an anonymous installation voting ID used to prevent duplicate votes. Do not submit sensitive personal information, private file paths, passwords, financial data, or confidential business information in wishlist text.

Donations and Reviews

Donation payments are handled by Stripe. xDuplicates does not process or store payment card information. If you choose to write a review, xDuplicates opens the Microsoft Store review experience. Reviews are handled by Microsoft.

Deletion

xDuplicates deletes only files that you select or mark for deletion. Depending on your settings, files may be sent to the Recycle Bin or permanently deleted.
