Privacy Policy

Last updated:

Overview

This privacy policy covers how we handle data on the CustosEye website. It's important to distinguish between:

• The CustosEye application: Runs entirely locally on your machine. It monitors processes, network connections, and file integrity. All data stays on your computer in the data/ directory. No information is sent to external servers or cloud services. The dashboard serves only on localhost.
• This website: Uses optional analytics cookies (with your consent) to understand how visitors use the site. This policy explains how we handle website analytics data.

This privacy policy explains what information we collect on this website, how we use it, and your choices regarding that information.

Analytics and Cookies

This website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics is only loaded after you explicitly consent to cookies. If you decline, no analytics code runs and no data is sent to Google.

Your Consent Choice

On your first visit, you'll see a consent modal asking whether you want to accept or decline analytics cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage and persists across visits. You can change your choice at any time by visiting the Cookie settings page.

What We Collect (If You Consent)

If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics collects standard web analytics data:

• Page views and navigation paths
• Time spent on pages
• General location (country/city level, not precise coordinates)
• Device type and browser information
• File downloads (when you download CustosEye)

We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, or IP addresses in a way that identifies you personally.

What We Don't Collect

We do not collect or store:

• Personal information without your explicit consent
• Form submissions or contact information (this site has no contact forms)
• Credit card or payment information
• Data from the CustosEye application itself, the application runs entirely locally on your machine. All monitoring data (processes, network connections, file integrity checks) stays on your computer in the data/ directory and is never transmitted to us or any third party

Third-Party Services

Google Analytics is a third-party service that processes analytics data. Their privacy policy governs how they handle that data. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by declining cookies on this site, or by using browser extensions that block analytics scripts.

Local Storage

Your consent choice is stored in your browser's local storage using the key analytics_consent. This is not a cookie and is only used to remember your preference. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's local storage, which will cause the consent modal to appear again on your next visit.

Cookie Management

For detailed information about cookies and how to manage them, please visit our Cookie settings page. You can change your consent preference at any time from that page.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained by Google Analytics according to their retention policies (typically 14 months by default). Your consent choice in local storage persists until you clear it or change your preference.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Decline analytics cookies at any time
• Change your consent preference via the Cookie settings page
• Clear your browser's local storage to reset your consent choice
• Use browser extensions to block analytics scripts entirely
