Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters. This page explains what data Chipps collects on your computer and on hellochipps.com, why we collect it, and the controls you have under GDPR and ePrivacy.
What data we collect
We collect three kinds of data: (1) information you give us — name, email, payment confirmation when you buy a licence; (2) technical information Chipps generates — anonymous usage events, crash reports, the licence key on your machine; (3) information from your browser on hellochipps.com — IP address, browser type, pages visited.
What Chipps does NOT collect
Chipps does not read or send the contents of your files, emails, or screen to our servers. Every action that would send data outside your PC (for example, a draft email) is shown in an approval card first, and runs only after you say yes.
How we use it
We use this data to deliver the product to you (your licence, account, support), to improve Chipps (anonymous usage patterns, crash diagnostics), and to bill you correctly. We do not sell your personal data.
Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6)
We rely on: contract performance (delivering the licence you bought), legitimate interests (preventing fraud, improving the product), and your consent (non-essential cookies and analytics).
Third-party services we use
Payment processing — Fastspring (PCI-DSS-certified). We never see your full card number. Email delivery — for licence keys and transactional messages. Web analytics — only after you accept analytics cookies. The current list of providers is available on request.
AI Processing
To answer your requests and plan actions, Chipps sends the text of your tasks to OpenAI for processing. Under OpenAI’s API Terms of Service, this data is not used to train OpenAI’s models.
If you’d rather not use AI features, you can simply not invoke them — Chipps will still work for everything that doesn’t require AI.
Floating Assistant
The floating assistant only works with text that you explicitly select or copy. Chipps does not read your screen, intercept your keystrokes, or send any data to our servers without an action from you.
Your rights under GDPR
You have the right to: access your data; receive a copy (data portability); correct or delete your data; object to processing; restrict processing; withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email support@hellochipps.com — we respond within 30 days.
Data retention
We keep purchase and licence records for as long as the licence is active plus seven years for accounting. Anonymous usage data is kept for 24 months. On a deletion request we remove your personal data from active systems within 30 days; residual copies in encrypted backups expire on our standard backup rotation.
Refunds and Cancellation
You may request a refund within 30 days of purchase by contacting support@hellochipps.com.
You can cancel your subscription at any time — either by emailing support@hellochipps.com or by using the cancellation link in the email that contains your licence key.
After cancellation, you keep access until the end of the period you’ve already paid for.
International transfers
If we transfer your data outside the EEA, we use Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission and apply additional safeguards where required.
Data security
We use encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, restrict access on a need-to-know basis, and run regular security reviews.
Data controller
The data controller for personal data processed by hellochipps.com and the Chipps application is Auslogics Labs Pty Ltd, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. For privacy-related enquiries, contact support@hellochipps.com.
Contact for privacy requests
Email support@hellochipps.com or use the form on the Support page. For questions or complaints you may also contact your local data protection authority.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date reflects the latest revision; material changes will be announced on hellochipps.com.
