Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2025

1. Our core philosophy on data

We build security tools, not advertising profiles. Affordable Security is engineered to process threat data locally on your device whenever possible. We only collect what is strictly necessary to provide and improve our security services.

2. What we collect

• Account Information: Email address, billing details (processed securely via Stripe), and license keys.
• Telemetry Data: Anonymous hashes of suspicious files, execution patterns, and threat detection metrics. This data contains no personally identifiable information and cannot be linked back to you.
• Diagnostic Data: Crash reports and system performance metrics, only if you explicitly opt-in.

3. What we DO NOT collect

• Your browsing history.
• The contents of your personal files or documents.
• Your location data (beyond regional routing for optimal server connection).
• Keystrokes or screen captures.

4. Data storage and security

Any telemetry data sent to our servers is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We utilize zero-knowledge architectures where possible, meaning we hold the encrypted data but not the keys to decrypt it.

5. Cookies and Third Parties

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and functional cookies to process payments. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. We do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

6. Contact regarding privacy
