🔒 Privacy Policy

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

Supreme Lite Auto‑Shutdown is designed with privacy as a core principle. The application itself:

• Does NOT collect any personal information
• Does NOT track your usage or behavior
• Does NOT transmit any data over the internet
• Does NOT require registration, login, or account creation
• Does NOT use telemetry, analytics, or tracking mechanisms
• Does NOT access your files, documents, or browsing history
• Does NOT share any data with third parties

2. Data Stored Locally

All your settings and preferences are stored locally on your device in a simple JSON file. This includes:

• Your shutdown schedule preferences
• Theme and UI customization settings
• Gamification progress (points, achievements, unlocked themes)
• Application behavior preferences

This data never leaves your computer and is only used by Supreme Lite Auto‑Shutdown to provide its functionality.

3. Website Analytics (auto-poweroffapp.netlify.app)

While the application itself collects no data, our website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This helps us improve the download experience and content.

What Google Analytics Collects:

Important: Google Analytics on our website uses IP anonymization and does not collect personally identifiable information. We cannot identify individual users from this data.

Opt-Out Options:

• Use browser extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger
• Enable "Do Not Track" in your browser settings
• Install Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

6. Third-Party Services

Supreme Lite Auto‑Shutdown and our website interact with these third-party services:

Supreme Lite Auto‑Shutdown does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children under 13. Since the application collects no data at all, it is inherently safe for users of any age.

Parents/guardians should supervise children using the software to ensure proper shutdown scheduling.
