1. Controller

This Privacy Policy explains how Yixiang Huang, trading as Houroute ("we", "us"), based in Dongguan, Guangdong, China, handles personal data. We are the controller of personal data processed through houroute.com and our support channels. Privacy contact: support@houroute.com.

2. Data the Windows app keeps on your device

Houroute records foreground app activity, minute-level counts of qualifying key presses, and, only after you enable it in Settings → AI Tools, event metadata from supported AI tools' local session logs. This data is stored in your Windows user data folder. It does not require an account, is not synced to a cloud, and is not sent to us.

Houroute does not store prompts, replies, code, tool output, window titles or the content of keys you type as activity records. You can view, export (JSON or CSV), set retention for, or clear your records in Settings → Local Data.

3. Microsoft Store, trials and updates

When Houroute is available through Microsoft Store, Microsoft handles the account, purchase, 7-day trial eligibility, payment, installation and updates under Microsoft's privacy terms. The app may check its Microsoft Store entitlement to determine whether a trial or purchase is active. Microsoft may process account, device and transaction information for these services. We do not receive payment card details through the app.

These Store checks do not include your local activity records, key press counts or AI session data. Those records stay on your computer and are not sent to us.

4. Data we process

• Website: IP address, browser and device information, and request logs processed by Cloudflare to deliver pages and keep them secure. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in operating a secure website.
• Microsoft Store: Microsoft processes account, transaction, payment and device information for Store purchases, trials, installation and updates under its own privacy terms. Microsoft handles payment card details; we do not collect them.
• Support: the contents of emails you send us, such as your email address, Windows and Houroute versions, and problem description. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in answering you.
• Preferences: your theme and language choice are stored locally in your browser.

5. Who we share data with

We do not sell personal data. We share it only with:

• Microsoft, which provides Store purchase, trial, entitlement, installation and update services under its own privacy terms;
• Cloudflare, which hosts the website and forwards email sent to our support address;
• our email provider, to send and receive support email;
• professional advisers, and authorities where required by law.

6. International transfers

Our service providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States and the European Union. Where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.

7. Retention

Microsoft retains Store account and purchase information under its own policies. Support emails are kept for up to 3 years after the conversation ends. Server request logs are kept by our hosting provider for a short, limited period. App data on your computer is kept until you delete it.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, to data portability, to withdraw consent, and to complain to a data protection authority. To exercise these rights, email us; we respond within one month.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including HTTPS for the website and limiting access to support information. Microsoft handles Store payment information under its own privacy and security practices.

10. Cookies

houroute.com does not use advertising or analytics cookies. Your theme and language preferences are stored in local browser storage. Microsoft Store pages may use Microsoft's own cookies and similar technologies under its privacy settings.

11. Children

Houroute is not directed to children under 14, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

12. Changes

We may update this policy and will publish the new version here with its "Last updated" date. Questions: support@houroute.com.
