Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

At MinnowByte, we believe that privacy is a fundamental right, not a privilege. We build software to empower users, not to exploit them. This policy outlines our stance on data collection, usage, and your rights as a user.

1. Data Collection

We do not collect any personal information.

When you download, install, or use our software (including "Typing Toucan"), MinnowByte does not harvest, store, transmit, or sell any of your personal data. We do not use cookies, trackers, or analytics scripts to monitor your behavior.

Any data generated by our software (such as high scores, save files, or preferences) is stored locally on your device. You have full control over this data and can delete it at any time.

2. Open Source & Transparency

We believe that trust is earned through transparency. All MinnowByte projects are open-source and licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 (GPL-3.0).

This means:

• You have the freedom to run the program for any purpose.
• You have the freedom to study how the program works and change it to make it do what you wish. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
• You have the freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor.
• You have the freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others.

Because our code is open, anyone can inspect it to verify that our privacy claims are true. There are no hidden backdoors or secret tracking mechanisms.

3. Third-Party Services

Our website is hosted on GitHub Pages. Please refer to GitHub's Privacy Statement for information on how they handle standard web server logs (e.g., IP addresses) for security and reliability purposes. MinnowByte does not access or utilize this information for tracking individual users.
