Privacy Policy – YEM Content Explorer

This page explains what personal data YEM Content Explorer (“the Software”) and this website collect when you purchase, activate, or use the Software, why it’s collected, and what rights you have over it. It applies to everyone who buys or runs the Software, wherever you are — including the additional rights EU/EEA residents have under GDPR.

ℹ Who controls this data Vali Maties, the sole developer and operator of YEM Content Explorer, based in Romania (EU). Contact for any privacy question or request: contactme@valimaties.ro.

1. What data is collected

Buying and running the Software involves a small, fixed set of data — nothing beyond what’s actually needed to sell you a working license and keep it working:

•Email address — to verify your purchase, deliver your license, and contact you about it when needed.

•IP address — captured automatically, the same way most web servers log visitors.

•Computer name and a one-way device identifier — sent by the Software itself, used only to tie your license to your machine and prevent misuse.

•Order/transaction details — order ID, transaction ID, amount, and currency, as returned by the payment provider. Your card or bank details are never seen or stored by me — see Section 2.

•App version — so the Software can tell you when an update is available.

2. Payments

Payments are processed entirely by PayPal and Stripe. Your card/bank details go directly to whichever of those you choose — they never pass through or get stored on my server. I only receive back an order ID, a transaction ID, and the amount charged.

PayPal and Stripe each have their own privacy policy governing how they handle your payment data, independent of this one.

3. Why this data is collected

•To verify a purchase and issue/activate the matching license.

•To prevent license fraud and abuse (e.g. a license shared across many machines, or a forged license file) — this may involve automated tools, including third-party ones, to help detect suspicious activity.

•To provide support — license recovery, unblocking a mistakenly-flagged account, investigating a problem you report.

•To deliver updates and let you know about ones that matter.

None of this data is sold, rented, or used for advertising, and it’s never shared beyond what’s needed for the purposes above.

4. Cookies & local storage

The marketing pages of this site (this page, the main product page, the installation guide) set no cookies and run no analytics or tracking scripts of any kind. They do use your browser’s local storage (not a cookie, and never sent to any server) for two small preferences: whether you’ve dismissed the cookie notice, and your chosen text size on this and similar pages.

The contact form sets one strictly-necessary session cookie, used only to keep a simple anti-spam check working while you fill it in — it carries no tracking or identifying information and expires when you close your browser.

5. How long data is kept

License and purchase-history data is kept for as long as the license itself could reasonably matter — to support you, to resolve a dispute, or to prevent the same fraud pattern from recurring. There’s no fixed automatic deletion date; if you’d like your data reviewed or removed, see Section 6.

6. Your rights

You can ask, at any time, to see what data is held about you, to correct it if it’s wrong, or to have it deleted. Email contactme@valimaties.ro with your license email address and what you’d like. Deletion requests are honored unless the data is still needed for an active support case, dispute, or fraud investigation — in which case you’ll be told why and for how much longer.

If you’re in the EU/EEA and believe your data has been mishandled, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority — in Romania, that’s ANSPDCP.

7. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, the date below will be updated. Continued use of the Software or this site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
