Privacy policy

The short version

Zaweba apps don't collect data about you. They contain no telemetry, analytics, adverts or tracking, and they don't send your files anywhere. This website doesn't use cookies or trackers either: it only counts how many times each page is viewed and each download is clicked, and roughly how many different people did so each day, without keeping IP addresses.

Our apps

• Your documents, photos, music, accounts, settings and saved passwords stay on your PC.
• Update check: once a day each app asks zaweba.com whether a newer version exists, sending only the app's name (in Read by Zaweba this check is off until you turn it on). Once a week it fetches the list of Zaweba apps for the Other Zaweba apps menu, sending nothing. It never installs anything by itself.
• Problem reports and feedback: if an app runs into a problem, or you choose Help › Send feedback, it shows you the whole report first. Nothing is sent unless you click Send, and reports never include your files, file names or document text. An email address is included only if you type one, so we can reply. Your IP address is never stored with a report: to stop abuse it is only kept scrambled with a random code that changes every day, and user names inside file paths are removed before a report is saved.
• Apps whose job uses the internet only connect where you point them, never to us. For example, FTP connects to your own servers, Route and Wonder download the maps and encyclopedias you choose, Read can download extra languages, Play can look up CD track names on MusicBrainz and Scene's weather widget asks Open-Meteo.

This website

• No cookies and no third-party trackers. Our fonts are hosted on our own server.
• Visit counts: when a page loads, or you click a download button, your browser tells zaweba.com which page or app it was, and we add one to that day's total. We also note whether the visit looked like a person or an automated program such as a search engine.
• Visitor counts: so we can tell how many different people visit each day, and which pages each of them looked at that day and when, your IP address and browser name are scrambled together with a random code that changes every day, and only the scrambled result is kept. Your IP address itself is never stored. The daily code is deleted the next day, so the result can't be turned back into your IP address or linked to your visits on other days. It's deleted completely after 400 days. No cookies, no names, and nothing that could pick you out or follow you from one day to the next.
• The Share or support page uses plain links to each platform. No social media scripts or buttons load, and the platform you pick only sees what you choose to share. Donations go through PayPal, under PayPal's own privacy policy.
• If you use the contact form or newsletter sign-up, we use your name and email address only to reply to you or send the newsletter you asked for. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• The feedback form sends what you type (and the app you pick) to zaweba.com. Your email address, if you give one, is stored encrypted and used only to reply. The address you send from is used to stop abuse and isn't stored.
