The protection of your personal information is our priority. We want you to feel safe while using our apps and add-ins. However, our add-ins would not work if we didn't collect certain data. On this page, you can find detailed information on what data we collect, how we protect it and where we store it.
What data we collect

Local log files
We collect log files only locally, on your computers. In the logs, we save only technical information that may help us provide you with technical support service or fix technical issues. We do not send these logs to any servers or services, but we may ask you to send your local logs to our technical specialists to help us reproduce or resolve your issue.
We do not collect, store, or share any data from your files. At all
Text Toolkit for Excel runs on your computers and process your Excel files locally. We do not collect or transfer your data to our or third-party servers or services, that can be insured by any network traffic monitoring tool.

What about data in your workbooks
Text Toolkit is an Excel add-in, it processes your Excel workbooks locally, on your machine. We do not collect, store, or share your workbooks, data or information from your files and do not transfer them over the internet.
Where we store the collected personal data
The personal data are stored in a cloud-based database hosted by Amazon Web Services. This is a protected storage inside an isolated private network. All data can only be accessed through our add-ins.
What data others collect, but we don't
We do not collect any analytics data and data about your devices and software. We do not track your actions by using tracking technologies or telemetry. Also, we do not sell or pass your personal data to any 3rd parties.
You may find that Microsoft Office telemetry is run together with the Text Toolkit add-in. This is because we use Microsoft's office.js framework.
Who can access your personal data at our office
This clause refers your personal data, i.e. your name, username, email address, password, subscriptions and orders.
We develop and test our products on specially created testing configurations, so access to your data is very limited and only a few people at our office have permissions.
Full access (provided on request) is given to a couple of our core developers and only in case they need to figure out some complex technical things.
Read-only access is provided to our senior system administrator to perform online monitoring and periodic maintenance of our servers and services.
Read-only access is also given to our technical support engineers and sales specialists. They need your data to assist you when you contact us with related questions.
How we control accessing your data at our office
We make a lot of effort to keep your data safe. Firstly, we restrict physical access to our office and to our computers with door locking, access control systems, alarm system and surveillance facilities. Secondly, we restrict access to our systems by using central management of system access, no guest accounts policy, password and authentication policies.
Also, we control access to data with the help of differentiated access rights, access rights defined according to duties, measures to prevent the use of automated data-processing systems by unauthorized persons.
To prevent unauthorized access, data alteration and disclosure, all our communication channels are encrypted using virtual private networks for remote access, transport and communication of data. All our sub-networks are joined into a wholly-owned private network. Finally, all our computers are protected with antivirus software and firewall systems.
How to erase your data
To delete your data, remove your account in the Profile section. To have all your communications with us removed from our systems, please contact our technical support service.
How you can make sure that everything above is true
You can see all the information that is sent to our services and storages with your own eyes with the help of the Fiddler tool or your browser console.
