At Shop Captain ("we," "us," or "our"), accessible from https://ShopCaptain.app, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors and software users. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Shop Captain and how we use it.

1. The Shop Captain Software (Desktop Application)

We prioritize your data sovereignty. Unlike cloud-based solutions, Shop Captain (both Basic and Pro versions) is designed as "Local-First" software.

• Local Data Storage: All data entered into the Shop Captain software (Job descriptions, requester names, station numbers, etc.) is stored locally on your own device in an SQLite database file (job_queue.db).

• No Data Transmission: The software does not transmit your shop floor data, job queues, or operational details to our servers. We have no access to your internal operations or the jobs you process.

• Network Usage (Pro Version): The Shop Captain Pro version creates a local network server to allow devices on your local Wi-Fi/Ethernet to connect. This data transmission happens entirely within your private local network. It does not pass through the public internet or our servers.

2. Information We Collect (Website & Purchases)

While the software does not send us data, we do collect information when you visit our website or purchase a license.

• Personal Information: When you purchase a license, we may ask for your name, email address, company name, and payment information.

• Payment Data: We use third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). We do not store your credit card details on our servers. Payment transactions are secured and processed by these third-party providers.

• Log Files: Like many other websites, ShopCaptain.app uses log files. These files log visitors to the site. The information collected includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, and referring/exit pages. This is used for analyzing trends and site administration.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect on our website to:

• Process your transactions and deliver the software download.

• Send you software updates, invoices, or important product announcements.

• Provide customer support.

• Detect and prevent fraud.

4. Cookies and Web Beacons

ShopCaptain.app uses "cookies" to store information including visitors' preferences and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users' experience by customizing our web page content. You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options.

5. Third-Party Privacy Policies

Shop Captain's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Thus, we are advising you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers (if applicable) or payment processors for more detailed information.

6. Children's Information

Shop Captain is a business tool and does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13.
