Last updated: July 4, 2026

OVERVIEW

This Privacy Policy explains how tryappaudit.com collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit the Site, contact us, click through to download or purchase AppAudit, or otherwise interact with the Site.

tryappaudit.com is a brochureware marketing and support site for AppAudit, a HighTechDad product. The Site is intended to explain AppAudit, answer common questions, provide trust and support information, and route visitors to the appropriate HighTechDad pages for downloads, purchases, fulfillment, and support.

By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. WHAT THIS POLICY COVERS

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through tryappaudit.com.

This Privacy Policy does not directly govern:

• the HighTechDad website, including WooCommerce checkout, payment, product delivery, or related commerce flows
• third-party websites, services, plugins, analytics providers, embedded content, or platforms linked from the Site
• the AppAudit desktop application beyond the general product statements included here

If you leave tryappaudit.com and visit hightechdad.com or another website or service, that site or service may have its own privacy policy and terms.

2. INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT

We may collect the following categories of information through the Site.

Information you provide directly

If you contact us, submit a form, send an email, request support, or otherwise communicate with us through or because of the Site, we may collect information such as:

• your name
• your email address
• your company name, if you provide one
• the contents of your message
• any order, license, or support details you choose to include
• any other information you voluntarily provide

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, the Site, its host, CDN, security tools, or related service providers may automatically collect certain technical and usage information, such as:

• IP address
• browser type and version
• device type
• operating system
• referring URL or source
• pages viewed
• dates and times of visits
• approximate geolocation derived from IP address
• diagnostic, security, or performance log data

This information may be collected through server logs, analytics tools, security monitoring, cookies, pixels, or similar technologies.

Cookies and similar technologies

The Site may use cookies or similar technologies for functions such as:

• site operation and performance
• traffic measurement and analytics
• remembering preferences
• security and abuse prevention
• understanding how visitors use the Site

If the Site uses third-party analytics, embedded media, forms, or similar tools, those tools may also collect information according to their own privacy practices.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the availability or functionality of certain parts of the Site.

3. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We may use information collected through the Site to:

• operate, host, maintain, and improve the Site
• respond to questions, support requests, and other communications
• monitor performance, traffic, errors, and security
• prevent abuse, fraud, spam, or unauthorized activity
• route visitors to appropriate download, purchase, support, or contact resources
• maintain business records
• enforce our policies and protect our rights
• comply with legal obligations

4. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

We do not sell personal information collected through the Site.

We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• with service providers or vendors that host, maintain, secure, monitor, or analyze the Site
• with HighTechDad systems, personnel, contractors, or service providers when needed to support AppAudit-related communications, downloads, fulfillment, purchases, or support
• with commerce, email, hosting, analytics, form, or support providers involved in related HighTechDad flows
• if required by law, subpoena, court order, legal process, or valid governmental request
• if reasonably necessary to protect our rights, property, safety, systems, users, or the public
• in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, sale of assets, restructuring, or transfer of all or part of the business

The Site may direct visitors to HighTechDad pages or systems for:

• AppAudit free downloads
• AppAudit Pro purchases
• WooCommerce checkout
• payment processing
• license fulfillment or delivery
• support and contact requests

When you use those pages or services, your information may be collected and processed by HighTechDad and its commerce, email, hosting, payment, download, or support providers under the privacy terms and policies that apply there.

6. APPAUDIT PRODUCT PRIVACY

AppAudit is designed to be local-first and privacy-friendly.

Based on the current product design, core AppAudit workflows run on your Mac without requiring a hosted account, cloud service, or continuous internet connection. Application inventory data, notes, lists, snapshots, and related audit information are intended to remain on your device unless you choose to export, transmit, share, back up, or otherwise move them elsewhere.

If you export files, email support, submit bug reports, send screenshots, or otherwise share app-related information with us, that shared information may no longer remain solely on your device and may be processed as part of support, troubleshooting, fulfillment, or product improvement.

If AppAudit’s data practices materially change in the future, related privacy disclosures should be updated in the app, on the Site, or both.

7. RETENTION OF INFORMATION

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• respond to your inquiries
• provide support or follow-up
• maintain business, support, legal, and operational records
• operate and secure the Site
• comply with legal obligations
• resolve disputes and enforce agreements

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, how it was collected, the purpose for which it was collected, and our legal or operational needs.

8. DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to help protect information collected through the Site. However, no website, network, server, storage system, or internet transmission method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You should also take care when deciding what information to send through forms, email, or support communications.

9. YOUR CHOICES AND REQUESTS

You may choose not to provide personal information through the Site, but doing so may limit our ability to respond to you or provide certain assistance.

Depending on the circumstances, you may also:

• control cookies through your browser settings
• stop using the Site at any time
• contact us to request correction or deletion of information you previously sent to us, subject to legal, business, fraud-prevention, and record-retention needs

We may need to keep certain information where required for legal compliance, transaction records, dispute resolution, security, or legitimate business purposes.

10. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY NOTICE

California residents may have privacy rights under California law, depending on the nature of the information collected and whether applicable legal thresholds are met.

At this time, tryappaudit.com is intended to be a relatively small brochureware product site. If our data practices, traffic profile, or legal obligations change, we may provide a more detailed California-specific privacy notice.

11. DO NOT TRACK

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting. Because there is not a consistent industry standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, the Site does not currently respond to DNT browser signals in a standardized way.

12. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. If you are under 18, you should use the Site only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information through the Site, please contact us so we can review the situation and delete the information if appropriate.

13. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SERVICES

The Site may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites or services, including HighTechDad, payment processors, download hosts, form providers, analytics providers, embedded content providers, social platforms, and support tools. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of those third parties.

14. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we may update the “Last updated” date, post the revised version on the Site, or provide another form of notice where appropriate.
