This is the formal policy. For a plain-language account of exactly what the software and this site do and do not send, see Privacy.

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to https://archivehive.app, and Steeltype LLC ("Company") and governs data collection and usage. For the purposes of this Policy, unless otherwise noted, all references to the Company include https://archivehive.app. The Company website is a software product information and purchase site. By using the Company website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

I. Collection of Your Personal Information

In order to better provide you with products and services offered, the Company may collect personally identifiable information, such as your:

First and last name

Email address

Purchases are processed by Stripe, Inc. Stripe collects your payment card details directly, under its own privacy policy; the Company receives your name, email address, the amount paid, and the last four digits of the card, and never sees the full card number.

We do not collect any personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. However, you may be required to provide certain personal information to us when you elect to use certain products or services. These may include: (a) registering for an account; (b) entering a sweepstakes or contest sponsored by us or one of our partners; (c) signing up for special offers from selected third parties; (d) sending us an email message; (e) submitting your credit card or other payment information when ordering and purchasing products and services. To wit, we will use your information for, but not limited to, communicating with you in relation to services and/or products you have requested from us. We may also gather additional personal or non-personal information in the future.

II. Use of your Personal Information

The Company collects and uses your personal information in the following ways:

to operate and deliver the services you have requested.

to provide you with information, products, or services that you request from us.

to provide you with notices about your account.

to carry out the Company's obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including for billing and collection.

to notify you about changes to our https://archivehive.app or any products or services we offer or provide through it.

to maintain the security of the Company's services and prevent fraud or misuse.

to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or governmental requests.

to deliver software licenses and updates you purchase, to respond to support requests, and to maintain the company's internal records.

in any other way we may describe when you provide the information.

for any other purpose with your consent

The Company may also use your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from the Company and its affiliates.

III. Sharing Information with Third Parties

The Company does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties.

The Company does not sell biometric data to third parties.

The Company may share data with trusted partners to help perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to the Company, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

The Company may disclose your personal information, without notice, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on the Company or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of the Company; and/or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Company, or the public.

IV. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

The Company does not sell your personal information and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Because no sale or sharing occurs, there is nothing to opt out of; if that ever changes, this Policy will be updated first and an opt-out method will be provided here. Residents of California and of other states with consumer privacy laws may exercise their rights, including the rights to know, to correct, and to delete, by emailing support@steeltype.io.

V. Automatically Collected Information

The Company website does not use analytics services, does not set cookies, and does not use advertising or tracking technologies of any kind. Web-server access logs, where our hosting provider keeps them, are used only to operate and secure the site and are not used to identify visitors. The Company's hosting reports two aggregate counts: the number of requests the content delivery network served, and the number of downloads fetched from the downloads area, per file. These are totals for a period of time rather than a record of events. They contain no IP address, no device or browser information, and nothing that distinguishes one visitor from another or establishes that any particular visit occurred. The ArchiveHive application sends no telemetry or archive contents to the Company. It contacts the Company to check for updates or retrieve a license when you enter an activation code. Update checks fetch a small version file and send no license or device identifier. You can check manually or enable automatic checks, which are off by default and limited to at most once a day. Retrieving a license sends the activation code without an email address, machine identifier, or drive information; installing a license file or pasting its text requires no connection to the Company. Like any web request, these connections carry your IP address. The Company does not record IP addresses from update checks. Archives remain in the storage locations you choose; accessing a network location uses that connection. Optional scheduled archive checks and repair operate on those locations and keep a history on your computer without sending archives or check results to the Company.

VI. Links

This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

VII. Security of Your Personal Information

The Company secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. The Company uses the following methods for this purpose:

SSL Protocol When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet that are beyond our control; and (b) the security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this site cannot be guaranteed.

VIII. Right to Deletion

Subject to certain exceptions set out below, on receipt of a verifiable request from you, we will:

Delete your personal information from our records; and

Direct any service providers to delete your personal information from their records.

Please note that we may not be able to comply with requests to delete your personal information if it is necessary to:

Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, and provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between you and us;

Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity;

Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;

Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law;

Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act;

Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when our deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, provided we have obtained your informed consent;

Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us;

Comply with an existing legal obligation; or

Otherwise, use your personal information internally in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.

IX. Data Security and Breach Notification

The Company maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, acquisition, disclosure, or use. In the event of a security incident involving personal information, the Company will promptly investigate the incident and provide notice to affected individuals and, where required, to applicable regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable law.

The Company will provide any required notice in the manner and within the timeframes prescribed by applicable law.

X. Children Under 13

The Company does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen. If you are under the age of 13, you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to use this platform.

XI. Email Communications

XII. External Data Storage Sites

XIII. Changes to This Statement

The Company reserves the right to change this Policy from time to time. For example, when there are changes in our services, changes in our data protection practices, or changes in the law. When changes to this Policy are significant, we will inform you. You may receive a notice by sending an email to the primary email address specified in your account, by placing a prominent notice on our website, and/or by updating any privacy information.
