Privacy Policy
GauchoGrid products process all information locally on your device. We do not collect, store, transmit, or have access to any of your data or usage statistics.
1. Introduction
GauchoGrid ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to our website (gauchogrid.com) and all software applications, browser extensions, and tools developed by GauchoGrid (collectively, the "Products").
2. Our Core Privacy Principle: Local-First Processing
We design our Products so that all data processing happens entirely on your local device.
- No Data Exfiltration: Your data never leaves your browser or device.
- No Cloud Dependency: We do not use cloud-based APIs to process the content you interact with.
- Zero Access: We cannot see, access, or recover any data you process using our Products.
3. Data We Do NOT Collect
To be explicit, across all current and future Products, we do not collect:
- User Content: The specific data, files, or text you process, export, or create.
- Browsing Activity: The websites you visit or your browsing history.
- Personal Information: Your name, email, or identity (unless you voluntarily contact us for support).
- Telemetry: Usage statistics, click-tracking, or behavioral analytics.
- Identifiers: IP addresses (on products) or unique device IDs.
4. Technical Permissions
Our Products may request specific system or browser permissions to function. These are used strictly for local execution:
- Active Tab/Scripting: To interact with and process content on the specific page you are viewing.
- Storage: To save your user preferences and settings locally on your device.
- File System/Downloads: To save processed data directly to your device.
5. Licensing & Payments (PRO Versions)
For Products requiring a paid license, we use LemonSqueezy for secure payment processing and license management.
- Transaction Data: When you purchase a license, LemonSqueezy handles your payment details. We receive your email address to deliver the license key and receipts.
- Validation: To activate a PRO feature, the Product communicates with LemonSqueezy's API to verify the license key. This process does not transmit any user-generated data or browsing activity.
6. Website & Third-Party Services
- Analytics: The GauchoGrid website does not use Google Analytics, trackers, or pixels.
- Cookies: We do not use tracking cookies. The only cookies present may be essential for the checkout process (via LemonSqueezy).
- Security: Standard server logs may record IP addresses temporarily for security purposes (DDoS protection), but these are not used for marketing or user tracking.
7. Regulatory Compliance (GDPR & CCPA)
By design, GauchoGrid minimizes data collection to the absolute technical minimum (zero, in most cases).
- Right to Access/Delete: Since we do not store your data, we have nothing to provide or delete.
- Support Queries: If you email us for support, we will hold that communication only as long as necessary to resolve your request. You may request the deletion of these emails at any time.
8. Changes to This Policy
As GauchoGrid grows, we may update this policy. Any changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be announced via our website or within the Products.
