Privacy Policy & Local Processing Guarantee

1. Our Core Privacy Commitment: Local On-Device Processing

Usefulware desktop utilities process your personal images, photographs, documents, PDFs, and files locally and privately on your Mac. We do not transmit, upload, cache, analyze, or train models on any of your files.

2. Information Collected During Purchase & Licensing

When you purchase a license from usefulware.store, we collect only the necessary information required for fulfillment and anti-fraud:

• Your email address (to deliver your cryptographic license key and receipt)
• Payment confirmation metadata via our payment processor
• Anonymized hardware machine hash (to verify your 3-device limit)

3. Optional Diagnostic Telemetry (Disabled by Default)

Usefulware apps do not collect usage tracking by default. If you explicitly opt-in to help improve our native compression algorithms, only high-level anonymous metrics (e.g. error codes) are collected without file names or metadata.

4. Contact Information

For privacy inquiries or data erasure requests, email us at privacy@usefulware.store. Operated by Longshort Labs Pvt Ltd and Longshort Labs SARL.
