This Privacy Policy explains how Charles J Sands, a sole proprietor doing business as Pixel Zero Media (“we”, “us”), handles information when you visit pixelzeromedia.com or use our apps. Our contact address is:
500 4th St NW
Suite 102 PMB 2871
Albuquerque, NM 87102
We are the data controller for the information described here. We keep it simple: our apps have no accounts, and we collect as little as we can.
1. Information we handle
Your app data. Lists, items, prices, currencies and settings you enter in our apps are saved in your browser on your own device. We do not receive or store them.
Your location. If you use a feature like local search, your browser asks for permission and sends your approximate location directly from your device to Google Maps and Places. We do not receive or store it.
Currency rates. Our server fetches exchange rates from a data provider. No personal information is sent in this request.
Purchases. Payments are handled by Paddle.com, our Merchant of Record. Paddle collects your name, email, billing details and payment information under its own privacy policy. We never see your card details. We receive your email address, transaction ID, purchase status and country or tax details.
License keys. When you buy, we create a license key and store it with your transaction ID and email. When you activate or re-check a key, our server checks it. To block guessing attacks, it briefly keeps a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address for up to one hour.
Support emails. If you email us, we keep your message and email address so we can reply.
Website and server logs. Our web host records standard technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, for security and troubleshooting. We do not use it to track you across other sites.
We do not ask for, or knowingly collect, sensitive personal information.
2. Why we use it, and our legal basis
To deliver your purchase and license key, and to prevent misuse (contract, and our legitimate interest in preventing fraud).
To answer support and refund requests (contract and legitimate interest).
To keep our site and apps secure and working (legitimate interest).
To meet tax, accounting and legal duties (legal obligation).
We do not sell your personal information and we do not use it for advertising profiles.
3. Who we share it with
Paddle, for payments, taxes, invoicing and refunds.
Google, when your browser uses Google Maps and Places inside our apps. Google’s privacy policy applies to that use.
Service providers that host our site and send our email, who may only use the data to provide their services to us.
Proton AG, which stores our internal administrative records and email.
Authorities, where we are legally required to share information or must protect our rights.
If you click an affiliate link, the other company’s site collects its own information under its own privacy policy. Please read it.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
Our own site and apps do not use advertising cookies. Third-party tools that run inside our apps, such as the Paddle checkout and Google Maps, may set their own cookies or use local storage to work and to prevent fraud. Our apps use your browser’s local storage to save your lists and settings, which is essential for them to work.
5. How long we keep it
License and purchase records: for as long as your license is active, and afterwards as needed for tax, accounting and dispute purposes.
Support emails: up to [3] years after our last contact.
Server logs and temporary check records: a short period, normally 30 days or less.
App data on your device: until you delete it.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal information, to object to or limit how we use it, and to complain to your local data protection authority. To use these rights, email support@pixelzeromedia.com. We will answer within the time required by law. Because your app data stays on your device, you can delete it yourself at any time by clearing your browser data.
7. Security
We protect the data we hold with reasonable measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), restricted access and keeping secret keys on our server only. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. International transfers
We operate from the United States, and our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers.
9. Children
Our site and apps are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
10. Links to other sites
Our site links to third-party websites, including affiliate partners. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
11. Legal compliance
We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or a government request, or to protect our rights, users or the public.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The new version will be posted on this page with a new “Last Updated” date.
