# Privacy Policy — License Generator

**Effective date:** 2026-10-15
**Data controller:** Gonzalo Martínez García
**Contact:** privacy@gonzaloapps.es

## Summary

License Generator is a desktop tool for software developers, and it works
offline. It has no accounts, no analytics and no advertising, and it sends
nothing to the developer. Everything it stores stays in its own data folder on
your computer until you delete it, and nothing leaves that folder unless you
copy or export it yourself.

## What the application stores

The application keeps four kinds of files in its data folder:

- **Signing keys.** A separate RSA key pair for each product you create, in the
  `Keys` folder. The private keys are stored unencrypted, protected only by the
  permissions of your user account.
- **License history.** One file for each license you issue, in the `Licenses`
  folder: the product identifier, the registration name, the optional hardware
  identifier, the optional expiration date, the optional UserDefined text and
  the signature.
- **Settings.** Theme, text size, language and whether the startup greeting is
  shown, in `settings.json`.
- **Diagnostic log.** One text file per day, in the `Logs` folder, recording the
  operations and errors the application met, with their technical details. A
  log entry can contain file paths, which may include your account name. Log
  files older than seven days are deleted the next time the application
  starts.

The registration names and hardware identifiers you type usually belong to
your own customers. The application stores them only so that you can find and
copy a license again, and it sends them nowhere. You decide what to enter, and
you are responsible for that information toward your customers.

The application does not read your hardware, your files or your clipboard on
its own. It reads a file, such as a public key or a backup, only when you
choose that file.

## Where the data folder is

- **Microsoft Store version:** Windows keeps the folder in the application's
  private storage, at
  `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\gonzalo.dev.LicenseGenerator_091xbq64s670a\LocalCache\Local\LicenseGenerator`.
  Uninstalling the application removes it.
- **Portable Windows version:** `%LOCALAPPDATA%\LicenseGenerator`.
- **Linux version:** the `LicenseGenerator` folder in your local data
  directory, usually `~/.local/share/LicenseGenerator`.

The portable versions leave their folder in place when you delete the program.

## What the application does not do

- It makes no network request of its own and needs no connection to work.
- It does not create an account, collect usage data, or use analytics,
  telemetry, crash reporting or advertising.
- It does not send licenses, keys or customer details to the developer or to
  anyone else.

## When information leaves the data folder

Only when you do it yourself:

- **Copying.** Copying a license or a public key places it on the system
  clipboard, where other applications you run can read it.
- **Backups.** Exporting writes a ZIP file to the location you choose, with
  your keys, license history and settings. It is not encrypted and it contains
  your private keys, so keep it as carefully as the keys themselves.
- **Links.** The documentation and Ko-fi buttons open their pages in your web
  browser. The application sends nothing with them; GitHub and Ko-fi handle your
  visit under their own privacy policies.

## Installed from the Microsoft Store

The Microsoft Store installs and updates the application under Microsoft's own
terms and privacy statement. License Generator sends nothing through the Store
and receives nothing about you from it.

## Children

License Generator is a tool for software developers and is not directed at
children.

## Your rights

Under the GDPR you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction,
portability and objection over personal data a controller holds about you. The
developer holds no such data unless you write to support, and over that
correspondence you can exercise these rights at privacy@gonzaloapps.es.

You keep direct control of everything the application stores: delete products
and licenses inside the application, export a backup at any time, or delete
the data folder.

## Retention

Your data stays on your computer until you delete it. Diagnostic log files are
deleted after seven days. The application sends the developer nothing, so the
developer retains nothing from it. A message you send to support is kept only
while it is answered.

## Changes

If a future version of License Generator processes data differently, this
policy will be updated before that version is released and its effective date
changed.
