How Musik-Matters LLC handles information on this website and in Plugins Boss. Effective October 25, 2026.

Plugins Boss (the desktop app)

Plugins Boss runs on your computer and keeps its data there.

  • Your plugin inventory, DAW settings, scan results and quarantine history are stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plugins Boss and in the quarantine folder you choose. They are never uploaded.
  • There is no account, no telemetry, no analytics and no advertising.
  • It never asks for, reads or stores your logins for vendor apps.
  • It makes two kinds of update checks. Both are plain downloads of a public file, and neither sends any information about your plugins or your computer’s contents:
    • Plugins Boss updates: when it starts and when you scan, it reads a small public file from GitHub that names the newest Plugins Boss version. GitHub sees your IP address and the Plugins Boss version you’re running. Turn it off with "check_app_updates": false.
    • Manager app updates: during a scan, for manager apps you have installed (such as Waves Central or Native Access), it downloads that app’s public update feed from the address the app itself uses for its updates. That server sees your IP address and that the request comes from Plugins Boss. Turn it off with "check_manager_updates": false.
    Both settings go in config.json in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plugins Boss. With either one off, that check makes no network request at all.
  • Logs and file lists stay on your computer unless you choose to send them to us, for example with a bug report.
  • Vendor apps you open from Plugins Boss are separate programs with their own privacy policies.

This website

  • No cookies, no analytics, no tracking scripts, no forms.
  • The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes standard request data (such as IP address and browser type) to deliver and protect the site. Cloudflare’s dashboard shows us aggregate traffic counts. We don’t use it to identify or follow individual visitors. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
  • Installers are downloaded from GitHub, which processes your request under the GitHub privacy statement. Other sites we link to, such as VirusTotal, have their own policies.
