This Privacy Policy explains how Tropibyte, Inc. (“Tropibyte,” “we,” “us”) handles information in connection with the website at www.tropibyte.com (the “Site”). It does not cover software you download from us — that software is governed by its own license and documentation.
The short version
The Site is a static, informational website. There are no user accounts and no web forms that submit data to us. We use website analytics to understand aggregate traffic — Cloudflare Web Analytics (cookieless) and Google Analytics. We do not use advertising trackers, and the main way we receive personal information is when you choose to email us.
Information you send us
If you email us — for example at hello@tropibyte.com or bugs@tropibyte.com — we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. We use it solely to respond to you and, for bug reports, to investigate and fix the issue. We do not sell this information, share it for marketing, or use it to train machine-learning models.
Information collected automatically
The Site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like virtually every web host, Cloudflare processes standard technical request data — such as IP address, browser type, and timestamps — to deliver the Site and protect it against abuse. That data is handled under Cloudflare’s own privacy practices.
The Site loads typefaces from Google Fonts. When your browser renders a page it requests font files from Google’s servers, which means Google may receive your IP address and request metadata. That is handled under Google’s privacy practices.
Analytics
To understand aggregate traffic and improve the Site, we use two analytics services:
- Cloudflare Web Analytics is privacy-first and cookieless. It does not use cookies or browser fingerprinting and does not track you across other websites.
- Google Analytics 4 — only after you accept it in our cookie banner — sets first-party cookies on your device and collects usage data such as the pages you view, approximate location (derived from a truncated IP address), device and browser type, and the referring source. This data is processed by Google under its own privacy practices.
We use analytics only to measure aggregate usage. We do not use it for advertising and we do not sell your data.
When you first visit, a banner asks whether to allow Google Analytics cookies. Using Google Consent Mode, analytics storage is denied by default — no Google Analytics cookies are set unless and until you choose Accept analytics. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by choosing Reject, by using the Cookie preferences link in the footer, or by installing the Google Analytics opt-out add-on. Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless and runs without consent.
Cookies
The Site does not set its own cookies for sign-in or personalization. Only if you accept analytics in the cookie banner, Google Analytics sets first-party analytics cookies (named _ga and _ga_*) to measure aggregate usage; these typically expire within two years. If you reject or ignore the banner, no analytics cookies are set. Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies, and Cloudflare may set a strictly-necessary security cookie to protect the Site. We do not use advertising cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.
Third-party links
The Site links to external services we use — including GitHub, Substack, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Once you follow a link to one of those services, this Policy no longer applies; each has its own privacy policy.
Data retention
We keep emails you send us for as long as needed to handle your request and to maintain a reasonable record of correspondence and bug history.
Children
The Site is intended for a professional, general audience and is not directed at children under 13.
Your choices
Because we collect so little, there is not much to manage. If you have emailed us and would like that correspondence deleted, write to hello@tropibyte.com and we will honor reasonable requests.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the current version.
