Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 6, 2026

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how Evaluated Applications LLC ("Evaluated Applications", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal information when you use the Evaluated Applications website, contact form, and update signup features (collectively, the "Services").

The Services are primarily directed to users in the United States, but this policy is designed to support U.S., UK, and EEA privacy requirements, including GDPR principles where applicable.

2. Controller and Contact

Evaluated Applications LLC is the controller of personal information described in this policy. For privacy questions or requests, use the contact form on our homepage and include enough detail for us to validate and process your request.

3. Information We Collect

We collect information reasonably necessary to operate and improve the Services, including:

• Information you provide: name (optional), email address, message content, and update subscription preference
• Device and browser data: IP address (or truncated/hash form), browser type, pages viewed, referral source, and timestamps
• Cookie and identifier data: first-party and third-party cookie identifiers, including Google cookies and similar identifiers used for analytics
• Security telemetry: anti-abuse and bot-mitigation signals, including Cloudflare Turnstile challenge metadata
• Consent records: consent selections, consent version, source, locale, and timezone

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through the website contact form.

4. How We Use Information and Legal Bases

We process personal information for the following purposes and legal bases (where GDPR/UK GDPR applies):

• Responding to inquiries and providing requested support (contractual necessity and legitimate interests)
• Sending product updates when you opt in (consent)
• Operating, securing, and improving website performance (legitimate interests)
• Running analytics (consent)
• Complying with legal obligations and enforcing agreements (legal obligation and legitimate interests)

5. Cookies, Consent, and Similar Technologies

We use essential cookies and similar technologies for security and core functionality. We use optional analytics cookies only after affirmative consent where required by law.

By accessing this website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

We honor applicable browser-based opt-out preference signals (for example Global Privacy Control) where required by law.

6. Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics for audience insights and site improvement. We configure Google consent mode to deny non-essential storage by default until consent is provided. We do not send contact-form fields to Google Analytics as custom event parameters.

You can control Google analytics collection directly in your browser/account:

• Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
• Google Ads Settings

7. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell personal information for money. We may share limited online identifiers and interaction data with analytics partners for measurement, which may be treated as "sharing" under some U.S. state laws.

We may disclose personal information:

• To service providers under contractual confidentiality and security obligations
• To comply with legal process or lawful government requests
• To detect, investigate, or prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or similar transaction, subject to confidentiality protections

8. International Data Transfers

Service providers may process personal information in the United States or other jurisdictions where they operate. Where required, we rely on appropriate transfer safeguards, such as contractual protections.

9. Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Cookie-consent preference records are retained for compliance and audit support and refreshed periodically.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to processing, and receive a portable copy of personal information. You may also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising and certain data sharing.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing before withdrawal.

If you are in the EEA or UK, you may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

11. Security Safeguards

We use layered technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, restricted access controls, and anti-abuse protections. No method of transmission or storage is guaranteed to be 100% secure.

12. Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following providers to operate safely and reliably:

• Google Analytics — analytics and site improvement
• Cloudflare — hosting, CDN, edge security, and bot protection (including Turnstile)
• Google Fonts — web font delivery

13. Children's Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
