NextGen Widget Software Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy for OpenPGP Encryption Software

Last Updated: April 29, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how NextGen Widget Encrypt ("we," "us," or "our"), an OpenPGP-based

encryption software, collects, uses, and protects your information. We are committed to safeguarding your

privacy and ensuring the security of your data. Since our software primarily operates locally on your device, we

collect minimal personal information at payment to deliver your license key. This policy outlines our practices

and your choices regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

1.1. No Personal Data Collection by Default

NextGen Widget Software is designed to prioritize your privacy. The software operates locally on your device,

and by default, we do not collect, store, or process any personal data to use our software, such as:

Your name, email address, or other personally identifiable information.

The content of your encrypted or decrypted messages, files, or keys.

Metadata related to your communications (e.g., recipient details or timestamps).

1.2. Optional Data Collection

In certain cases, you may choose to share information with us, including:

Feedback or Support Requests: If you contact us for support or provide feedback, we may collect your

email address, username, or other information you voluntarily provide to assist you.

Analytics (Optional): If you opt-in to anonymous usage analytics, we may collect non-identifiable data,

such as software version, feature usage, or crash reports, to improve the software. You can disable this in

the settings at any time.

Updates and Notifications: If you subscribe to receive software updates or newsletters, we may collect

your email address to send you relevant information.

1.3. Public Keys

If you choose to upload your public key to a public keyserver for others to discover, this is done at your

discretion. Public keys may contain information you include, such as your name or email address. We do not

control or store this information, as it is managed by third-party keyservers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information we collect only for the following purposes:

Providing and Improving the Software: To respond to support requests, fix bugs, and enhance

functionality based on optional analytics.

Communicating with You: To send updates, security advisories, or responses to your inquiries if you’ve

provided contact information.

Ensuring Security: To investigate and address potential security issues or misuse of the software.

We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to the operation and

improvement of NextGen Widget Software.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

3.1. No Sharing of Personal Data

Since we do not collect personal data by default, we do not share it with third parties. Any data processed locally

(e.g., encrypted files or keys) remains on your device and is never transmitted to us.

3.2. Third-Party Services

If you use third-party keyservers or integrate NextGen Widget Encrypt with external services (e.g., email clients),

those services may have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices, and we encourage

you to review their policies.

3.3. Legal Obligations

We may disclose information if required by law, such as in response to a court order or subpoena, but only to the

extent necessary and after verifying the legitimacy of the request.

4. Data Security

We take the following measures to protect any information we may collect:

Local Processing: All encryption and decryption occur on your device, ensuring your sensitive data never

leaves your control.

Secure Communication: Any communication with our servers (e.g., for updates or support) is encrypted

using industry-standard protocols (e.g., TLS).

Minimal Data Retention: We retain optional data (e.g., support emails or analytics) only as long as

necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected.

Despite our efforts, no software or system is completely secure. You are responsible for securing your private

keys and ensuring the safety of your device.

5. Your Choices and Rights

5.1. Opting Out

Analytics: You can disable anonymous usage analytics in the software settings at any time.

Communications: If you’ve subscribed to updates or newsletters, you can unsubscribe using the link

provided in our emails or by contacting us.

5.2. Access and Deletion

If you’ve shared personal information with us (e.g., via support requests), you may:

Request access to the information we hold about you.

Request correction or deletion of your information. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@

ngwidgetsoftware.com. We will respond within 30 days, in accordance with applicable laws.

5.3. Public Key Management

If you’ve uploaded a public key to a keyserver, you are responsible for managing or revoking it. Contact the

respective keyserver for assistance.

6. International Data Transfers

Since we collect minimal data and process most operations locally, international data transfers are unlikely. If

you provide information (e.g., via support requests), it may be processed in America, e.g., the United States. We

comply with applicable data protection laws, such as GDPR, for users in the European Union.

7. Third-Party Links and Integrations

NextGen Widget Encrypt may link to third-party websites or integrate with external tools (e.g., keyservers or

email clients). These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.

Please review their policies before sharing information.

8. Children’s Privacy

NextGen Widget Encrypt is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect

personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you

of significant changes by posting the updated policy on our website or within the software. The “Last Updated”

date at the top indicates when the policy was last revised.
