Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 24, 2026

Vidēre Research, LLC ("Vidēre Research," "Vidēre," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information is handled when you use our websites, web applications, mobile applications, downloadable software, source code, and related services.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected, how it may be used, when it may be shared, and the choices available to you.

This policy applies to:

Vidēre Research websites and web pages;
Vidēre Research web applications and browser-based tools;
Vidēre Research applications distributed through Apple's App Store, including iPhone and iPad applications;
Software, utilities, scripts, source code, and other downloadable materials made available by Vidēre Research;
APIs and online services operated by Vidēre Research, where applicable; and
communications and other interactions with Vidēre Research.

It applies only to services operated or controlled by Vidēre Research. Third-party websites, applications, platforms, services, and content linked from or integrated with our services may have their own privacy policies.

1. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with our services.

Information You Provide

We may receive information that you voluntarily provide, including when you:

contact us by email or through a contact form;
report a problem or request technical support;
provide feedback;
subscribe to communications;
create an account, where an account is offered;
participate in a survey or other voluntary activity; or
otherwise communicate directly with us.

Depending on the interaction, this information may include your name, email address, contact information, and the contents of your communication.

We do not require you to provide personal information merely to browse our public websites unless a particular service specifically requires it.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our websites or use certain web applications, technical information may be collected automatically. This may include:

IP address;
browser type and version;
operating system or platform;
device type;
referring and exit pages;
date and time of access;
pages or features accessed;
approximate geographic information derived from an IP address;
diagnostic information;
information about how the service is used; and
other technical information normally transmitted by a web browser.

We may use this information to operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve our websites and applications and to understand aggregate usage patterns.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our websites and web applications may use cookies, local storage, session storage, pixels, or similar technologies.

These technologies may be used to:

maintain sessions;
remember preferences;
provide requested functionality;
understand how our services are used;
improve performance;
detect abuse or security problems; and
support advertising or analytics, where applicable.

You can generally control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the operation of some services.

Mobile Applications

Vidēre Research applications distributed through the Apple App Store may process information made available by your device or by permissions that you choose to grant.

Depending on the particular application, this may include information such as:

device and operating-system information;
application settings and preferences;
diagnostic or crash information;
information generated while using application features;
approximate or precise location, if a feature requires location and you grant permission;
camera or photo access, if a feature requires it and you grant permission;
microphone access, if a feature requires it and you grant permission; and
other device information necessary to provide a requested feature.

An application will request permission through the operating system when access to a protected device resource is required.

You can review or revoke application permissions through your device settings.

Vidēre Research does not use device permissions to obtain information beyond what is reasonably necessary for the applicable feature unless the application specifically explains otherwise.

Not every application collects every type of information described in this section. The actual permissions and functionality of an individual application depend on that application.

Location Information

Some Vidēre Research applications and web applications may provide location-related functionality.

Where applicable, location information may be obtained:

from the device's location services;
from information you enter manually;
from browser-provided location services;
from an IP address at an approximate level; or
from another location source required by a particular feature.

Location access is generally controlled through your device or browser permissions.

Location information may be used to provide features such as mapping, navigation, positioning, geographic calculations, local information, or other location-dependent functionality.

Unless specifically stated for a particular service, location information is not intended to be used to continuously track your movements.

Information Stored Locally on Your Device

Some applications may store settings, preferences, calculations, files, history, or other information locally on your device using browser storage, application storage, or similar mechanisms.

Information stored exclusively on your device may not be transmitted to Vidēre Research.

Deleting an application, clearing browser storage, or resetting application data may remove locally stored information, depending on the platform.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information for purposes including:

providing and operating our websites, applications, and software;
responding to questions and support requests;
providing requested functionality;
maintaining and improving our services;
diagnosing technical problems;
monitoring performance and reliability;
protecting against fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and security threats;
understanding aggregate usage;
communicating service announcements or changes;
providing requested newsletters or other communications;
complying with legal obligations; and
enforcing our terms, policies, and rights.

We will not use personal information for purposes materially inconsistent with those described in this Privacy Policy without appropriate notice where required by law.

3. Information We Do Not Sell

Vidēre Research does not sell or rent your personally identifiable information.

We may use service providers and technology providers to help operate our websites, applications, infrastructure, communications, analytics, advertising, security, or other business functions.

Those providers may process information on our behalf and may be subject to contractual or other obligations concerning the handling of information.

4. Third-Party Services

Our websites, web applications, mobile applications, and downloadable software may interact with third-party services.

Examples may include:

Apple and the App Store;
mapping and geographic-data providers;
hosting and cloud providers;
analytics providers;
advertising networks;
content-delivery networks;
authentication providers;
APIs;
crash-reporting services;
payment processors; and
other services required to provide particular functionality.

A third-party service may receive information directly from your browser or device when that service is used.

For example, an embedded map, advertisement, analytics service, or external API may independently process information according to that provider's privacy policy.

Vidēre Research does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.

You should review the applicable privacy policy of a third-party service before using functionality that depends on that service.

5. Advertising

Vidēre Research may use third-party advertising services on websites or applications that contain advertising.

Advertising providers may use cookies, device identifiers, pixels, or similar technologies to deliver or measure advertisements.

Depending on the advertising provider and applicable law, advertising technologies may be used to provide contextual, interest-based, or other forms of advertising.

Vidēre Research does not control information collected directly by independent advertising networks.

Where required, applicable consent or privacy controls will be provided.

6. Analytics

We may use analytics and diagnostic technologies to understand how our websites and applications are used and to identify technical problems.

Analytics information may include technical characteristics of the device or browser, application events, approximate location, pages or features used, and diagnostic information.

Analytics information is generally used in aggregate or pseudonymous form where practical.

Individual Vidēre Research applications may use different analytics or diagnostic providers, and the applicable third party may have its own privacy policy.

7. Downloadable Software and Source Code

Software, scripts, utilities, code samples, and other downloadable materials may operate entirely on your device or may communicate with third-party or Vidēre Research services.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, downloading or installing software does not by itself create a Vidēre Research account or transmit personal information to Vidēre Research.

Some software may, however, require network access or interact with external services in order to provide particular functionality.

Users are responsible for reviewing the documentation and permissions associated with software before using it.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to provide requested services, maintain appropriate business and security records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or comply with legal obligations.

Information that is stored locally on your device may remain there until you delete it, clear application or browser data, or uninstall the applicable application.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no website, application, network, computer system, or method of transmitting information over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your devices, operating systems, accounts, passwords, and backups.

10. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed toward children under the age required by applicable law to provide consent for online services.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, delete the information.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning personal information we maintain about you.

These rights may include, subject to applicable legal limitations:

requesting access to personal information;
requesting correction of inaccurate information;
requesting deletion of personal information;
requesting information about how personal information is used;
objecting to or restricting certain processing;
withdrawing consent where processing is based on consent;
requesting a copy of certain information; and
opting out of certain communications.

To exercise an applicable right, contact Vidēre Research using the contact information provided on our website.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

12. Marketing Communications

If you voluntarily provide your contact information for communications, we may use it to respond to your request or, where permitted, send information about Vidēre Research products, services, updates, or other activities.

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the communication or by contacting us.

Transactional, security, legal, and service-related communications may continue when necessary.

13. International Users

Vidēre Research and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country in which you live.

Privacy and data-protection laws may differ between jurisdictions.

Where required by applicable law, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

14. Third-Party Links

Our websites and applications may contain links to third-party websites, applications, products, services, documentation, or other resources.

A link does not mean that Vidēre Research endorses or controls the linked service.

Third-party services have their own terms and privacy policies, and Vidēre Research is not responsible for their privacy practices.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, technology, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the beginning of this policy and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.

Your continued use of a service after an updated policy becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy to the extent permitted by law.

16. Contact Us
