Privacy, security & support.

SECURITY DETAILS

Your Mac holds your details.

Saved identities, portal credentials, and network assignments use macOS Keychain. Portal pages opened inside ELWifi use an ephemeral web session.

Accessibility permission lets ELWifi find and fill login windows in other apps. Location permission lets macOS share your Wi-Fi network name with ELWifi.

App updates use Sparkle signature verification. This preview is not yet notarized by Apple; update signing does not replace notarization.

PRIVACY POLICY · UPDATED 6 SEPTEMBER 2026

What stays here. What gets sent.

On your Mac
Saved profiles, credentials, and network assignments are stored in Keychain. General app preferences are stored locally. Manage or delete saved records in Settings. Removing the app does not automatically remove Keychain records.
When you connect
ELWifi checks Apple’s captive-network endpoint to detect a login requirement. Portal pages contact the network operator, which receives any details you submit, including generated identities. Its own privacy policy applies. Private Mode does not hide your IP address or encrypt your traffic.
Updates
The app requests an update feed and downloads updates from the ELWifi website. These requests expose ordinary connection information, such as your IP address, to the hosting providers.
This website
The demo sends and saves no form entries. This page has no analytics scripts or advertising trackers. The site is served through GitHub Pages and Cloudflare, and loads its font from Google Fonts; those providers receive normal web requests, including your IP address, and may keep service logs.
Questions & feedback
Use the public support tracker for general privacy questions. Information you choose to include in a public support report is visible to others, so do not include sensitive details.
