Software
All software on this website does what the description says. Nothing more, nothing less. There is no virus, crapware, malware or any other stuff in there. There is no (private) (hidden) data collection anywhere. I do not have access to your data and therefore cannot sell any data to third parties.
You are free to use a disassembler or network monitor to verify this.
Sometimes Antivirus scanner reports that a program is infected with a Virus or Trojan, even when the program is not really infected with any malicious code. This kind of problem is known as ‘False Positive’. Often new versions are marked from some virus scanners falsely. You can use the free VirusTotal to upload and check my software. Usually the false detection is removed after few days.
The crash reporting and auto-update functions are sending a somehow unique id, so I can distinguish between different users and see how many people are using my software. This id does not contain any personal information. The only decodable information is your operating system version. It’s not possible to trace you back, I’m sorry, you are just a number… Your IP-address gets recorded, just to distinguish between different users and see the country of my software usage.
You can always prevent the crash report and disable the automatic update check.
Android applications are using Crashlytics for crash reporting and usage statistics.
Howard - Email Notifier
If you are using IMAP OAuth2 authentication method, Howard requests permission to read, compose, send, and permanently delete all your email from your email account. This is needed for the email notification service. Howard will only check your inbox / your selected folders for unread emails and access the email subject and sender. This information is only shown to you in the email notification and not stored anywhere.
The data is processed exclusively on your computer and is not passed on to third parties. We do not transfer or disclose your information to third parties. We will not sell your data to third parties.
