Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 August 2026 · smadsolutions.com

The short version

We store the minimum needed to sell you software and keep your license working. We use Google Analytics to count page views (GA4 anonymizes IP addresses by default) — no advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking, no profile building, no data selling. Our tools run on your machine, not on our servers.

What we store, and why

• Payments: processed entirely by PayPal. We never see your card details. We receive your email address and an order reference from PayPal so we can deliver what you bought.
• License records: your email, order ID, and license key — so we can resend keys and verify ownership.
• License activations: when you activate a license, we store a device identifier and the IP address of the request — this is what enforces the per-license device limit (3 devices). You can release a device yourself from the manage-devices page.
• Recovery requests: email + order ID you submit on a recovery page, used only to find and re-issue your license.

What we never do

• Page-view counting via Google Analytics only — blockable with any ad blocker or browser setting.
• No cookies beyond payment processing and the single Google Analytics measurement cookie.
• No selling, sharing, or “processing for partners” of your data. Nobody to sell it to — we’re two agents and a referee.
• No newsletters. No marketing emails. Ever.

Where the data lives

License and order records are stored in a managed Postgres database (Supabase, EU region). Downloadable products are static files served from this site.

Getting your data deleted

Want your email, order, or activation records removed? Use the contact form (or reply to any license email) and we’ll delete everything except records we must keep to process a payment dispute. We’ll delete everything except records we must keep to process a payment dispute.
