BackendSide ("BackendSide", "we", "us", or "our") develops and distributes software applications for Windows and other platforms.

This Privacy Policy explains how BackendSide handles information in connection with our software products, websites, and related services.

This policy is intended to apply generally to BackendSide products, including desktop applications distributed through the Microsoft Store and other distribution channels. Because individual products may have different features, a particular product may access or process information that another product does not.

By using a BackendSide product, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

BackendSide generally designs its software to operate locally on the user's device and does not collect personal information unless it is necessary for a particular feature or service.

Depending on the product and the features you use, information may include:

• Information that you voluntarily enter into the application.
• Files, documents, images, or other content that you choose to open, edit, process, or store using the application.
• Information required to provide a particular feature that you explicitly use.
• Information you voluntarily provide when contacting us for support.
• Licensing or activation information where required to verify use of a product.
• Technical information that may be transmitted when a product specifically provides an online, synchronization, backup, or other network-connected feature.

The exact information processed by a particular application depends on its functionality.

2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

Many BackendSide applications are designed to store application data locally on your computer.

For example, an application may store:

• Databases created or managed by you.
• Documents and files you create or edit.
• Application settings and preferences.
• Product configuration information.
• Other data required for the application to function.

Data stored locally by an application generally remains on your device and is not automatically transmitted to BackendSide unless the application provides a feature that specifically requires such transmission.

BackendSide does not access locally stored application data merely because the software is installed on your computer.

3. User-Provided Content

Some BackendSide applications are designed to work with information entered or imported by the user.

This may include business records, customer information, product information, financial records, documents, photographs, or other content, depending on the application.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the appropriate rights and permissions to enter, store, process, or share such information using the application.

Unless a particular product feature expressly requires transmission, BackendSide does not receive the content that you enter or store locally in the application.

4. Online and Network Features

Some BackendSide products may provide optional features that require an internet connection.

Depending on the product, these features may include:

• Software licensing or activation.
• Software updates.
• Cloud backup or synchronization.
• Integration with third-party storage services.
• Online services or APIs.
• Other features that you explicitly choose to use.

When an application communicates with an online service, only the information necessary for that particular feature should be transmitted.

Where a feature involves a third-party service, the information may also be subject to that third party's privacy policy and terms.

5. Cloud Storage and Third-Party Services

Some BackendSide applications may optionally integrate with third-party services such as cloud storage providers.

Examples may include Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or other services that may be supported by a particular product.

If you choose to use such a feature, the application may transmit files or other information to the third-party service at your direction.

BackendSide does not control the privacy practices of third-party services. Your use of those services is also governed by their respective privacy policies and terms.

You should review the privacy policy of a third-party service before using an integration with that service.

6. Microsoft Store

Some BackendSide applications are distributed through the Microsoft Store.

The Microsoft Store is operated by Microsoft and provides application distribution, installation, updates, purchasing, licensing, and related platform services.

When you obtain a BackendSide application through the Microsoft Store, Microsoft may process information associated with your Microsoft account, device, purchase, download, installation, licensing, or Store activity in accordance with Microsoft's own privacy practices.

BackendSide does not receive all information that Microsoft processes through the Microsoft Store.

Microsoft Store transactions and platform services are governed by Microsoft's policies and terms. For information about Microsoft's handling of personal information, please refer to Microsoft's Privacy Statement.

BackendSide's responsibility under this Privacy Policy is limited to information that BackendSide itself accesses, collects, receives, or processes.

7. Software Purchases and Licensing

BackendSide products may be distributed through third-party marketplaces, including the Microsoft Store, or through other distribution methods that may be introduced in the future.

Where a third-party marketplace handles payment and licensing, payment information is generally processed by that marketplace rather than being directly collected or stored by BackendSide.

BackendSide does not intentionally collect or store complete credit card numbers or other payment-card credentials through its applications.

Specific licensing mechanisms may process limited information necessary to verify that a product is properly licensed.

8. Support and Communications

If you contact BackendSide for technical support or other assistance, we may receive information that you voluntarily provide, such as:

• Your name.
• Email address.
• Application or product name.
• Operating system information.
• Application version.
• Error messages or diagnostic information that you choose to provide.
• Details about the problem you are experiencing.
• Files or screenshots that you voluntarily send to us.

We use this information to respond to your request, provide technical support, troubleshoot problems, and improve our products.

We do not use support information for unrelated purposes unless permitted by applicable law or you have otherwise provided consent.

9. Diagnostics and Error Information

Some BackendSide applications may provide diagnostic or error-reporting functionality.

Where such functionality exists, the application may collect technical information necessary to identify and troubleshoot application problems, such as application version, operating system version, error information, or crash information.

A particular application may not provide any diagnostic or telemetry functionality.

If diagnostic information is transmitted, we aim to limit it to information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

10. Cookies and Website Information

The BackendSide website may use technically necessary cookies or similar technologies required for website functionality.

If additional cookies, analytics, advertising, or other tracking technologies are introduced, the relevant website pages may provide additional information or controls where required by applicable law.

This Privacy Policy primarily concerns BackendSide software products. Website-specific practices may also be described on the relevant website.

11. How We Use Information

Where BackendSide receives or processes personal information, we may use it for purposes such as:

• Providing and operating our software and services.
• Processing or verifying software licensing.
• Providing customer support.
• Troubleshooting technical problems.
• Maintaining security.
• Preventing misuse or unauthorized access.
• Providing features requested by the user.
• Improving our software where appropriate.
• Complying with legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information as a business practice.

12. Data Sharing

BackendSide does not sell or rent your personal information.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Provide a service or feature requested by you.
• Work with service providers that help us operate our services.
• Comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or lawful requests.
• Protect the rights, property, security, or safety of BackendSide, our users, or others.
• Detect, investigate, or prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, or other unlawful activity.

When third-party services are used by a particular product, the relevant information may be shared with that service only as necessary to provide the requested functionality.

13. Data Security

BackendSide takes reasonable measures to protect information that we process against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Where personal information is transmitted over the internet, appropriate security measures such as encrypted connections may be used where supported and appropriate.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

14. Data Retention

BackendSide retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to provide services, resolve disputes, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, or for other legitimate purposes.

Information stored locally by BackendSide applications is generally controlled by the user and remains on the user's device until the user deletes it or the application removes it as part of its normal operation.

15. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights regarding personal information that BackendSide holds about you.

These may include the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of personal information, where applicable.
• Request restriction of certain processing.
• Object to certain processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Some information may need to be retained when required by law or when necessary for legitimate business purposes.

16. Children's Privacy

BackendSide products are not generally directed specifically at children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where such collection is prohibited by applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to BackendSide in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact us so that we can review and take appropriate action.

17. International Users

BackendSide may provide software to users in different countries.

Depending on how a particular product or service operates, information may be processed in countries other than the country where you live.

Where required by applicable law, BackendSide will take appropriate measures regarding international transfers of personal information.

18. Third-Party Websites and Services

BackendSide products or websites may contain links to third-party websites or services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites or services.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party service before providing information to that service.

19. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our software, services, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.

If a significant change is made, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.

20. Products Covered by This Policy

This Privacy Policy is intended to apply to BackendSide software products and services generally, including applications distributed through the Microsoft Store and other distribution channels.

Individual products may have different functionality and therefore may process different types of information.

If a particular product introduces a feature that collects, transmits, or otherwise processes personal information in a way not described by this general policy, the relevant product may provide additional privacy information or this policy may be updated accordingly.
