Privacy Policy

1. Overview

SlowItDown ("the App") is designed with privacy in mind. We collect a limited amount of personal data, primarily your email address and a device identifier, to operate your trial and license, prevent abuse, provide support, and operate and improve the App and our services. We do not collect analytics, track your in-app usage, or sell your data. This policy explains what data we handle and how it is used.

2. Data Stored Locally on Your System

The App stores the following information locally on your system:

• A device identifier used to enforce the per-license device limit.
• The date the free trial was first activated.
• Your license key, after activation.

This data never leaves your device except as described in the sections below.

3. Trial Activation

To start your free trial, the App asks for your email address. Your email and a device identifier are sent to and stored on our servers to verify your email, start and manage your trial, prevent abuse, provide support, and operate the App. We use a third-party email provider to deliver your verification code to that address. We do not use your trial email for marketing, though we may occasionally email trial users directly to request product feedback.

4. License Activation

When you activate a license, the App sends your license key or subscription ID and a device identifier to our servers. We use and store this information to validate your license, enforce device limits, prevent abuse, provide support, and operate and improve the App and our services. For subscriptions, we may also verify your status with our payment provider. We may store related account and activation details, including your email address and the devices associated with your license.

5. Payment Processing

Purchases are processed by Paddle.com Market Limited, who acts as Merchant of Record. When you buy a license, Paddle collects your name, email address, payment details, and billing address. We do not receive or store your payment information. Paddle's handling of your data is governed by Paddle's Privacy Policy.

6. Purchase Confirmation Email

After a successful purchase, Paddle sends you a receipt and your license key by email. We may use your email address to send you important product updates (such as major new versions). We do not send marketing emails. We do not sell your email address or share it for marketing; we rely on trusted service providers to host the App's backend and deliver email, and they may process this data only to provide those services on our behalf.

7. Analytics and Tracking

We do not use any analytics services, crash reporters, or tracking pixels in the App or on this website. No usage data is collected.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
