Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 24, 2025
Last Updated: August 24, 2025

Our Commitment to Privacy

At Chenology, privacy isn't an afterthought—it's a core principle. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website (chenology.com) and our software tools.

The short version: We collect minimal data, store no personal information, and never sell or share your data with third parties.

Information We Collect

Website (chenology.com)

  • Analytics: Currently disabled by default. If enabled in the future, we would use privacy-focused analytics (like Plausible) that don't track individual users or use cookies.
  • Contact: If you email us for support, we store your email address and message content only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry.
  • Technical Data: Our web server may temporarily log IP addresses for security purposes, but these logs are not analyzed or stored long-term.

Our Software Tools

  • Salesforce Org Source Compare: Runs entirely within VS Code. No data is transmitted to our servers. All metadata comparisons happen locally on your machine.
  • Nix UTC World Time: Accesses only your system clock to display time. No data is collected, stored, or transmitted anywhere.

Information We Don't Collect

  • Personal identification information (unless you contact us directly)
  • Browsing history or behavior tracking
  • Device fingerprinting
  • Location data
  • Your Salesforce org data (it never leaves your machine)
  • Usage analytics from our software tools
  • Advertising identifiers
  • Social media profile information

How We Use Information

The limited information we might collect is used only for:

  • Responding to your support requests
  • Improving our website and tools based on feedback
  • Ensuring the security of our services
  • Legal compliance if required

We never use your information for advertising, marketing to third parties, or creating user profiles for commercial purposes.

Data Storage and Security

  • Location: Any data we store is kept in secure, reputable data centers with appropriate security measures.
  • Encryption: All data transmission to and from our website uses industry-standard encryption (HTTPS).
  • Access: Only authorized personnel can access any stored data, and only when necessary for support or maintenance.
  • Retention: Support emails are deleted after the issue is resolved. Web server logs are automatically purged regularly.

Third-Party Services

Our website and tools are designed to minimize third-party dependencies:

  • Web Hosting: Our website is hosted by reputable providers with strong privacy practices.
  • Email: Support emails are handled through secure email services.
  • No Tracking: We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar tracking services.
  • No CDNs: Our website doesn't load resources from external CDNs that could track users.

Your Rights and Choices

  • Access: You can request to know what personal data we have about you (likely very little).
  • Deletion: You can request deletion of any personal data we store.
  • Correction: You can request correction of any inaccurate personal data.
  • Opt-out: If we implement analytics in the future, you'll be able to opt out.
  • Uninstall: You can remove our software tools at any time through VS Code or Chrome's extension manager.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it immediately.

International Users

Our services are available globally. By using our website or tools, you consent to the processing of your information in the United States, where our servers are located. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for international data transfers.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will post any changes on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
