Privacy Policy

Draft for review: This privacy policy is a working draft and has not yet been finalized. It must be reviewed, and items marked “to be confirmed” completed, before the site is published.

Effective date: to be confirmed on publication

Who we are

This website is operated by High Tech Horned Toad Software LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”), a software company based in Texas, USA. This policy covers this website only. Our apps have their own privacy policies; for example, see the Lone Toad Privacy Policy.

Information you give us

When you use our contact form, you provide your name, email address, the type of inquiry, a subject, and your message. We use this information only to read and respond to your inquiry. The form is designed to send your message by email rather than storing it in the website’s database. Messages are kept in our email system for as long as needed to handle the inquiry and any follow-up (retention period to be confirmed).

If you email us directly, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message.

Analytics

We intend to use Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google, to understand how visitors find and use this website, such as which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive (for example, from a search engine or another site), general engagement, approximate location derived from IP address, and device and browser type. We also intend to measure clicks on links to the Apple App Store.

Google Analytics is not loaded unless you accept analytics cookies in the cookie notice. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the site footer, when analytics is active. Google processes analytics data under its own terms and privacy policy. Data retention settings in Google Analytics: to be confirmed.

Cookies and similar technologies

• Strictly necessary: a cookie that remembers your analytics choice (htht_consent, kept for up to 180 days). Website administrators who log in also receive standard WordPress login cookies.
• Analytics (optional): Google Analytics cookies (such as those beginning with _ga), set only after you accept.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings.

How we use information

• To respond to your inquiries and support requests
• To understand and improve the website, if you consent to analytics
• To keep the website secure and working properly
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information.

Sharing

We share information only with service providers who help us operate the website and handle email (for example, our website host and, with your consent, Google Analytics), or when required by law. A full list of service providers is to be confirmed.

Security and data handling

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), restricted administrative access, and keeping our software up to date. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. Residents of certain U.S. states, the European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom may have additional rights under local law. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

Children’s privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through it. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above will show when it was last changed.
