Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy governs how PosteRazor (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our open-source poster creation software (the “Software”) and our official website (https://posterazor.sourceforge.io). We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other regional privacy standards.
1. Information We Collect
PosteRazor is designed to prioritize your privacy, and we collect only the minimum necessary information to provide and improve our Software and services. The information we collect falls into two categories:
1.1 Information You Voluntarily Provide
- Contact Information: If you reach out to our support team (via email or contact form) for assistance, feedback, or bug reports, we may collect your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide (e.g., details about your issue with the Software).
- User Feedback: If you submit feedback, suggestions, or contributions to the PosteRazor open-source project, we may collect your name (if provided) and the content of your feedback to improve the Software.
1.2 Automatically Collected Information
- Software Usage Data: When you use the desktop version of PosteRazor, we do not collect any personal data or usage data automatically. All image processing, file generation, and other operations are performed locally on your device, and no data is sent to our servers.
- Website Usage Data: When you visit our official website, our web server may collect non-personal information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and pages visited. This data is used solely to analyze website traffic, identify technical issues, and improve the user experience, and it is not linked to any personal information.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following limited purposes, all of which are necessary to provide and enhance our Software and services:
- To respond to your support requests, feedback, or inquiries about the Software.
- To improve the Software’s functionality, fix bugs, and address user needs based on feedback and website usage data.
- To maintain and secure our website and ensure it operates smoothly for all users.
- To comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal requests (if required).
We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Any sharing of information will be limited to necessary cases (e.g., with our hosting provider for website maintenance) and will be done in compliance with data protection laws.
3. Data Storage and Protection
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure:
- Local Processing: The desktop version of PosteRazor processes all your images and data locally on your device. No personal data, images, or project files are uploaded to our servers, ensuring full control of your data.
- Secure Storage: Any personal information we collect (e.g., support emails) is stored securely on our encrypted servers, accessible only to authorized team members who need it to provide support or improve the Software.
- Data Retention: We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected (e.g., until your support issue is resolved, or feedback is implemented). After that, we will delete or anonymize the data.
4. Your Privacy Rights
You have the right to access, correct, update, or delete any personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, please contact us at past@postermer.com with your request, and we will respond within 3 business days to assist you.
You may also choose to stop providing voluntary information (e.g., stop sending feedback or support requests) at any time, which will not affect your ability to use the Software.
5. Third-Party Services
Our website may link to third-party resources (e.g., SourceForge for software downloads). This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
6. Children’s Privacy
PosteRazor is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will immediately delete that information.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. Any updates will be posted on our official website, and the “Last Updated” date will be revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
