What we collect when you purchase our software
We collect and retain the following information when you purchase one of our software products from our own online store:

This allows us to keep a record of our customers, in order to verify your details if you ever need to contact us about the software you purchased (for example to obtain a lost license code).
We do not collect or retain any financial information, such as bank account or credit card details.
Conversely, when purchasing any of our software products from Apple's App Store, we do not receive any identifying customer information.
We never share any customer information with any third parties.
Data retention duration
Any personal data we retain about customers who have purchased our software will be completely removed from our records after 7 years (to comply with EU laws).
