Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it. We keep this as simple and transparent as possible.
Information We Collect
We only collect what we need. Here's a breakdown of the types of information we may collect and when:
Information You Provide
- Email address: Collected when you make a purchase. We use it to send order confirmations, download links, and important product updates.
- Contact form submissions: If you reach out to us via email or a contact form, we receive your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
Payment Information
We use Stripe to process all payments. When you make a purchase, your payment details (credit card number, billing address, etc.) are entered directly into Stripe's secure environment. We never see or store your full credit card number. Stripe may retain this information in accordance with their own Privacy Policy.
Analytics Data
We may collect basic, anonymized analytics about how visitors use our website. This may include:
- Pages visited and time spent on pages
- General geographic region (country/state level — not precise location)
- Browser type and operating system
- Referring website (how you found us)
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. It helps us understand how people use the site so we can improve it.
Information We Do Not Collect
We do not collect or store:
- Social security numbers or government ID numbers
- Precise GPS location data
- Data from your use of our software on your own device (our apps do not phone home)
- Sensitive personal information beyond what is listed above
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
| Data Type | How We Use It |
|---|---|
| Email address | Process your order, deliver download links, send purchase receipts, and occasionally notify you of important updates to software you've purchased |
| Payment data (via Stripe) | Process transactions and handle refunds. Managed entirely by Stripe. |
| Analytics data | Understand website traffic, improve content and navigation, assess which products and tools are most useful |
| Contact messages | Respond to your inquiry or support request |
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for targeted advertising. We do not build behavioral profiles on our users.
Third-Party Services
We use a small number of third-party services to operate our website and products. Each has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle data.
Stripe (Payment Processing)
All payment processing is handled by Stripe, Inc. When you make a purchase, you are interacting with Stripe's systems. Your payment information is transmitted directly to Stripe and is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. Stripe is PCI-DSS compliant.
GitHub Pages (Website Hosting)
Our website is hosted on GitHub Pages. When you visit our site, your request passes through GitHub's servers. GitHub may log IP addresses and other technical data in accordance with GitHub's Privacy Statement. We do not have access to this server-level log data.
Google Analytics (Potential)
We may use Google Analytics to collect anonymized website usage statistics. If active, Google Analytics uses cookies to track aggregate visitor behavior. This data is sent to Google and governed by Google's Privacy Policy. We use this data only in aggregate form and do not attempt to identify individual users. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Google Play (Android App Distribution)
Some of our Android apps are distributed through the Google Play Store. If you download an app from Google Play, Google's data collection practices apply to that transaction. Please review Google's Privacy Policy for more information.
Cookies & Tracking
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We use cookies only as necessary.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics (if active) to collect anonymized usage statistics. These help us understand traffic patterns and improve the site.
- Cookie consent preference: We store your cookie consent choice so we don't ask you again on repeat visits.
What We Don't Do
- We do not use cookies for advertising or ad retargeting
- We do not track you across other websites
- We do not sell cookie data to third parties
Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Note that blocking all cookies may affect site functionality. For more information on managing cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.
Data Retention
We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill legal obligations.
- Purchase records and email addresses: Retained for at least 7 years to comply with US tax and financial record-keeping requirements. This is a legal obligation, not a choice.
- Support communications: Retained for up to 2 years after your last interaction with us.
- Analytics data: Anonymized aggregate data may be retained indefinitely. No individual-level analytics data is stored by us directly.
You may request deletion of your personal data at any time (see Section 7 — Your Rights). Note that we may be required to retain certain records (such as purchase transactions) for legal and compliance reasons even after a deletion request.
Children's Privacy
Our website and software products are not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at loco@endianengine.com and we will promptly delete such information.
For users between the ages of 13 and 18, we recommend reviewing this policy with a parent or guardian before making any purchases or providing personal information.
Your Rights
You have rights regarding your personal information. We honor the following requests:
-
Access
You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. -
Correction
If any information we hold about you is inaccurate, you can ask us to correct it. -

You can request that we delete your personal data. Note that we may be required to retain certain records for legal purposes (e.g., purchase transactions for tax compliance). -
Opt out of communications
You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by replying to any email with "unsubscribe" or contacting us directly. You cannot opt out of transactional emails related to purchases you've made (order confirmations, download links, refund confirmations). -
Portability
You can request a copy of your data in a portable format.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at loco@endianengine.com. We will respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
- Using HTTPS (TLS encryption) for all data transmitted between your browser and our website
- Not storing payment information on our servers — delegating all payment handling to Stripe, which is PCI-DSS compliant
- Limiting access to personal data to only those who need it to operate the business
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
If you suspect a security issue related to our site or software, please contact us immediately at loco@endianengine.com.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will make a reasonable effort to notify users — for example, via email if we have your address on file, or by posting a notice on our website.
Your continued use of our website or products after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Contact Us
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests related to this Privacy Policy or your personal data, please contact us:
We aim to respond to all privacy-related inquiries within 30 days.

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Michigan. We comply with applicable federal and Michigan state privacy laws, including the Michigan Identity Theft Protection Act (MCL 445.63 et seq.) with respect to the safeguarding of personal information and breach notification requirements.
If we experience a security breach involving your unencrypted personal information, we will notify you as required by Michigan law — generally within a reasonable time period after discovery of the breach.
If you are located outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
