APPLICATION PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated September 18, 2021

This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices for all applications created by me, Wade Walker. Any time the word "application" is used, it is reference to the application you are using or thinking about using. At the time of this publication, the following applications are available for sale from me:

File Renamer X on the Microsoft Store

Information Collection and Use

This application does not directly collect any information at all.

I, Wade Walker, as the developer of this application, receive some analytical data related to the use of this application by you, the user of this application. That analytical data is provided by Microsoft to all developers who put applications on the Microsoft Store. Said analytical data includes the number of people installing the application, how much time is spent using the application, if the application crashed while the user was using it, reviews that users leave, as well as general insights. The data received does not include personal information. Data received is on the developer's portal site with Microsoft and is not sent to me (via email or any other delivery mechanism), and must be reviewed manually. If I do review any of the analytical data, 50% of the time it is to see if there are any reports of crashes so that I may investigate a bug that needs to be fixed. The other 50% of the time is to see if I made any sales by looking at the download numbers. Some of this data may be able to be controlled by you, the user, under your Microsoft account and/or operating system settings.

This privacy policy has a 99.99999999% chance of never (except for grammar or clarifications) changing (regarding data collection or trying to make money off of your data) as I have no intention or desire to collect information from you, the user, through this application. There is no mechanism in place to inform you, the user, of changes to this privacy policy and it is upon you to check to see if it was updated.
