Information we collect

Information we collect automatically

When you visit our website

No personal data is collected (your IP address is anonymized by our web host before it is stored in the access or error log on our server).

When you use our software

We do not track your use of our software. Our software may contact our servers to check for updates. No personal data is transmitted to us during the update check (the software reads a file on our server containing the current version number). When you use a licensed (paid) version of our software, it may contact our server to confirm the validity of your license and to ensure that the maximum number of concurrent users has not been exceeded. During this procedure, your license key will not be associated with personal data we may have on file.

Information you provide to us

We collect information that you provide to us, e.g. by contacting us, leaving a comment or filling out a form on our website.

Data we receive from third parties

When purchasing a software license

If you purchase a license through our reseller FastSpring, you will have to submit some personal data which Fastspring will make available to us. FastSpring's privacy statement can be found here.

This applies unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or unless we reserve the right to use data beyond this period in a ways permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration. For example, if you leave a public comment on our website, the comment and its metadata are retained as long as the article you commented on is still available.
