Security Considerations

Granting any application "Full Disk Access" is a significant action. UJAM values your trust and prioritizes the security and privacy of your data. This access is solely to facilitate the seamless installation of your plugins. However, always ensure you:

• Download the UJAM App directly from official UJAM sources.
• Keep your UJAM App updated to benefit from the latest security patches.
• Regularly monitor the app's behavior and reach out to UJAM support for any concerns.

The "Silent Install" feature aims to enhance the user experience by simplifying the plugin installation process. By understanding its functionality and requirements, users can make the most of this feature and maintain a secure music production environment.
