1. Introduction
At HSoft, we prioritize user transparency and respect the privacy of individuals visiting our website and utilizing our Windows utility software. This Privacy Policy outlines what information is collected, how it is handled, and your rights concerning your personal information.
2. Website Information & Hosting
This website is hosted statically via Cloudflare Pages. When you browse the website, standard web server logs and network-level metadata (such as your IP address, browser user-agent, operating system, and request timestamp) may be processed by Cloudflare's infrastructure to ensure network security, DDoS mitigation, and edge caching.
For more details on how Cloudflare handles network data, refer to Cloudflare's official Privacy Policy.
3. Cookies & Local Storage
The core HSoft website does not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies. Any client-side state (such as user interface preferences or cached filter settings) is stored locally on your device via standard HTML5 browser storage and is never transmitted to an external server.
[Owner Action Required]: If you install third-party tracking scripts or cookie-based analytics in the future, document cookie names, lifespans, and opt-out mechanisms here.
4. Contact & Correspondence Data
If you contact HSoft directly via email or future web forms for bug reports, support queries, or feature requests, we receive the information you choose to provide (such as your name, email address, Windows build details, and problem description).
This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry, troubleshoot reported software bugs, or evaluate proposed enhancements. We do not sell, rent, or trade your correspondence data.
5. Windows Utility Software & Telemetry
Our guiding philosophy is that utility applications should operate natively and privately on your Windows machine:
- Offline Functionality: Unless explicitly noted in a tool's documentation (such as a network ping or socket utility that requires network access to function), HSoft utilities operate offline.
- Zero Silent Telemetry: HSoft applications do not silently collect or transmit personal files, keystrokes, browsing history, or background activity.
- Crash Logs & Error Reporting: In the event of a software crash, no diagnostic logs are automatically uploaded unless you explicitly inspect and transmit them as part of a voluntary bug report.
[Owner Action Required]: When releasing a new software tool, confirm in its specific tool documentation whether it checks for automatic version updates or sends any network requests.
6. Third-Party Download Providers
Software binaries and installers for HSoft utilities are typically distributed through trusted platforms such as GitHub Releases. When downloading an installer, your download request is handled directly by GitHub's servers and is governed by GitHub's Terms of Service and Privacy Statement.
7. External Links
Our website may contain links to external sites (such as Microsoft documentation, developer repositories, or third-party open-source libraries). We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external web properties.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our tools, deployment practices, or legal requirements. Updated policies will be published directly to this page with an updated revision date.
