Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
Introduction
FourCav Software ("we", "our", or "us") believes privacy should be the default, not an afterthought.
Our goal is to build useful software while collecting as little information as possible. We strive to be transparent about what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact:
Information We Collect
Website Usage
Like most websites, our website may collect basic server logs and operational information, including:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Date and time of requests
- Requested pages and files
- Referring website information
This information is used to:
- Operate and secure our website
- Diagnose technical problems
- Monitor performance and availability

We do not use invasive tracking technologies or behavioral profiling.
Application Data
Our production applications are designed to operate with a privacy-first approach.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, our applications:
- Do not collect personal information
- Do not track user behavior
- Do not include third-party analytics
- Do not sell or share user data
- Do not build advertising profiles
Data created by the application is intended to remain under your control.
Beta Software
From time to time, we may release beta, preview, experimental, or pre-release versions of our software.
Beta software may include:
- Diagnostic logging
- Crash reporting
- Telemetry
- Usage statistics
- Performance metrics
- Troubleshooting information
- Plugin-related data
- Third-party beta services
When possible, this information is collected anonymously and used solely to improve the software.
We make reasonable efforts to avoid collecting personally identifiable information during beta programs.
Information collected during a beta program may be retained only for the duration of the beta cycle and related analysis.
Once the beta program concludes:
- Collected data may be summarized in aggregate form
- Individual records may be deleted
- Raw beta telemetry may be purged
Third-Party Services
Our production applications generally avoid third-party analytics and tracking services.
However, beta software may temporarily use third-party services for:
- Crash reporting
- Diagnostics
- Telemetry
- Beta testing
- Plugin functionality
When such services are used, they will be disclosed in the beta program documentation whenever practical.
Data Retention
We retain information only as long as necessary for operational, security, legal, or support purposes.
Website logs may be retained for a limited period to:
- Diagnose issues
- Investigate abuse
- Maintain system security
Beta telemetry and diagnostic information may be retained for the duration of the beta program and subsequent analysis period before being deleted or aggregated.
Data Sharing
We do not sell personal information.
We do not rent personal information.
We do not share personal information with advertisers.
We may disclose information only when:
- Required by law
- Necessary to protect our systems
- Necessary to investigate abuse, fraud, or security incidents
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information under our control.
However, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should exercise appropriate caution when using any software or internet service.
Children's Privacy
Our products and services are not directed toward children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.
Our Commitment
We believe software should respect its users.
We will continue to favor:
- Minimal data collection
- Local-first design
- Transparency
- User control
- Privacy-first decision making
Whenever we face a choice between collecting more information and respecting user privacy, we will strive to choose privacy.
