Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how Wombat Strategies LLC ("Company," "We," "Us," or "Our") handles information in connection with the CoreBooks software application (the "Software"). By using the Software, You ("User," "You," or "Your") acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this Policy.

We are committed to transparency about our data practices. Because CoreBooks is designed as an offline application, our data collection is minimal by design.

---

1. Overview

CoreBooks is an offline accounting and bookkeeping application. The Software is designed to store and process data locally on Your device. We do not operate cloud servers that store Your financial data, and the Software does not transmit Your financial records to Us or any third party during normal operation.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

During standard offline use of the Software, We do not collect, access, transmit, or store:

• Your financial records, transactions, invoices, or bookkeeping data.
• Bank account numbers, credit card numbers, or other payment instrument details entered into the Software.
• Tax identification numbers, Social Security numbers, or other government-issued identifiers.
• The contents of reports or documents generated by the Software.
• Passwords or credentials stored within the Software.

All such data resides exclusively on Your local device and is under Your sole control.

3. Information We May Collect

In limited circumstances, We may collect certain non-financial information, including but not limited to:

3.1 License and Registration Information

If You purchase or register the Software, We may collect:

• Your name and email address.
• License key or product registration details.
• Purchase transaction information (processed by third-party payment providers).

3.2 Device and Technical Information

If the Software includes optional diagnostic or crash reporting features, We may collect:

• Operating system type and version.
• Software version number.
• General device information (e.g., hardware type, available memory).
• Crash logs and error reports (which do not contain Your financial data).

3.3 Update Checks

The Software periodically contacts Our servers to check for available updates. During this process, We may receive Your IP address, software version number, and operating system information.

3.4 Communications

If You contact Us for support or other inquiries, We may collect Your name, email address, the content of Your communications, and any attachments or screenshots You voluntarily provide.

4. How We Use Collected Information

Any information We collect is used solely for the following purposes:

• To validate and manage software licenses.
• To provide software updates and security patches.
• To diagnose and fix software bugs and performance issues.
• To respond to Your support requests and communications.
• To improve the Software and develop new features.
• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not use any collected information for advertising, marketing profiling, or sale to third parties.

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade Your personal information. We may share limited information only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers. We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist Us with payment processing, email delivery, or crash report analysis. These providers are contractually obligated to use the information solely for the services they perform on Our behalf.
• Legal Requirements. We may disclose information if required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable government request.
• Business Transfers. In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, Your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will provide notice before Your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
• Protection of Rights. We may disclose information when We believe it is necessary to protect Our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information We collect. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Because Your financial data is stored locally on Your device, You are responsible for securing Your device, maintaining appropriate access controls, and implementing backup procedures.

7. Data Retention

• License and registration data is retained for as long as Your license is active and for a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping purposes.
• Crash reports and diagnostic data are retained only as long as necessary to analyze and resolve the relevant issues.
• Support communications are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide ongoing support and maintain records.

You may request deletion of Your personal information by contacting Us at the address below, subject to any legal obligations requiring retention.

8. Children's Privacy

The Software is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If We become aware that We have collected information from a child under 18, We will take steps to delete such information promptly.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on Your jurisdiction, You may have certain rights regarding Your personal information, including:

• Access. The right to request a copy of the personal information We hold about You.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When We do, We will revise the effective date at the top of this page. If changes are material, We will make reasonable efforts to notify You, such as through an in-app notification or on Our website.
