We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including pages visited, features used, browser type, IP address, and referring URLs.
Desktop Application Data
Our core service involves analyzing publicly available macOS and Windows desktop application bundles to extract technical metadata such as SDK versions, frameworks, and dependencies. This data is about software products, not individual users. We do not collect personal data from end users of the applications we analyze.

- Respond to support requests and communicate with you.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

- Legal authorities when required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights.
- Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
5. Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., billing records).
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS), encrypted data at rest, and row-level security policies on our database. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn we have collected data from a child, we will delete it promptly.
