Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 2026 | Effective Date: November 2026
1. Introduction
Analog Dessert LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Analog Dessert LLC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website analogdessert.com. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website, purchase our products, or use our software.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
When you make a purchase or create an account, we collect information you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, and billing information.
Automatically Collected Information
We collect some information automatically to understand how the site is used: IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring URL, and session duration. Google Analytics, PostHog and Microsoft Clarity collect it unless you turn off Analytics in Cookie Settings or your browser sends Global Privacy Control. PostHog and Clarity are described below.
License Activation Data
When you activate software, the following information is transmitted to our servers:
- Device fingerprint — composed of CPU identifier and hardware serial number. This fingerprint is cryptographically hashed using HMAC-SHA256 before storage. The raw fingerprint is NOT stored on our servers.
- Purchase key — your license key associated with the purchase.
- App version — the version of the software being activated.
- App ID — the identifier for the specific product.
- Download ID — the identifier for the specific download.
- IP address — used for rate limiting and fraud detection.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Order fulfillment and delivery of purchased products
- License management and activation
- Customer support
- Website analytics (you can turn this off)
- Fraud prevention and security
Email Communications
If you make a purchase, we may occasionally send you emails about new products from Analog Dessert LLC. We will never share, sell, or rent your email address to third parties. We will only email you about our own products. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us at analog.dessert@gmail.com.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. The following table describes the cookies we use:
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration | Consent Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EDD session cookies | Essential | Shopping cart, checkout process | Session | No |
| WordPress cookies (wordpress_*, wp-settings-*) | Essential | Login session, CSRF protection | Session | No |
| ad_cookie_consent_v3 | Essential | Remember analytics, first-party attribution and Meta advertising choices | 1 year | No |
| _ga | Analytics | Google Analytics — distinguishes users | 2 years | No (turn off in Cookie Settings) |
| _gid | Analytics | Google Analytics — distinguishes users | 24 hours | No (turn off in Cookie Settings) |
| ad_posthog_anon_v1 | Analytics | PostHog: random ID that links your page views and purchase steps | 30 days | No (turn off in Cookie Settings) |
| _clck | Analytics | Microsoft Clarity: keeps the same random ID across visits | 1 year | No (turn off in Cookie Settings) |
| _clsk | Analytics | Microsoft Clarity: joins page views into one session | 1 day | No (turn off in Cookie Settings) |
| ad_consent_region_v1 | Essential | Records whether your browser’s time zone is in Europe, which sets the default for campaign attribution and Meta advertising | 1 year | No |
| ad_marketing_context_v1 | Attribution | Remembers which supported link or ad brought you here | 30 days | Outside Europe, no (turn off in Cookie Settings); in Europe, yes |
| _fbp, _fbc | Advertising | Meta: identify your browser and the ad click that brought you here | 90 days | Outside Europe, no (turn off in Cookie Settings); in Europe, yes |
Analytics is on unless you turn it off. Outside Europe, first-party attribution and Meta advertising measurement are also on unless you turn them off. In Europe, they stay off until you choose them. Accept All turns on all three, Reject All turns off all three, and Cookie Settings lets you choose each separately. Essential cookies remain active.
Optional measurement and advertising
Cookie Settings lets you choose analytics, first-party campaign attribution and Meta advertising measurement separately. Analytics is on until you turn it off. Attribution and Meta advertising measurement are on until you turn them off, except in Europe, where they are off until you choose them. We decide whether you are in Europe from your browser’s time zone, so a traveller or VPN user may get the other default. Accept All enables all three. Reopen Cookie Settings to change your choices. Global Privacy Control prevents these optional purposes.
First-party campaign attribution stores campaign information from supported links in your browser for up to 30 days, and we save it with your order. Meta advertising measurement uses the Meta Pixel to send page-view events on eligible public pages and a product-view event on each product page, with the product’s ID and price. When you press Buy, our server sends Meta an add-to-cart event with the product’s ID and price, your IP address, your browser’s user agent and Meta’s _fbp and _fbc cookies. When you complete a paid order, we send Meta a purchase event from our server, and the Pixel may send the same event from your browser. Both copies carry one event identifier, so Meta counts the purchase once. The purchase event contains the order total, currency, product IDs, your email address hashed with SHA-256 (a one-way code, not the address itself), your IP address, your browser’s user agent and Meta’s _fbp and _fbc cookies. We never send your license key, purchase key or plain email address. If Meta advertising measurement was off when you checked out, our server sends Meta nothing about that order. See Meta’s Privacy Policy.
The browser purchase handoff is kept in the current tab and expires after seven days. To suppress repeats, this integration keeps up to 100 sent event identifiers in browser storage until cleared or advertising permission is withdrawn. These records contain no purchase or license keys.
Changing your choices stops future optional processing by this site; it does not retract events already sent. Withdrawing advertising permission clears this integration’s queued events and local event history.
Session replay (Microsoft Clarity)
We use Microsoft Clarity to see how visitors use the site, such as clicks, scrolling and the pages they open. Clarity also receives the page address, the referring site, your device and browser, and an approximate location based on your IP address. Page text and form fields are hidden in these recordings.
Clarity does not run on checkout, receipt, re-download or account pages. It stops if you turn off Analytics in Cookie Settings or your browser sends Global Privacy Control.
Clarity uses the _clck and _clsk cookies and your browser’s session storage, and Microsoft may set its own cookies. Microsoft may use this data, as described in the Microsoft Privacy Statement, to provide and improve its products, including Microsoft Advertising.
Data Sharing
We share information with the providers described below. Meta advertising measurement shares page visits, product views, cart additions and purchases with Meta unless you turn it off; in Europe, only after you turn it on.
Payment Processors
Stripe and PayPal process your payment information directly. We do not store credit card numbers on our servers.
Google Analytics
Unless you turn off Analytics, Google processes analytics data as our data processor. See Google’s privacy policy for details. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
PostHog
Unless you turn off Analytics, we use PostHog, a US-hosted product analytics service, to count which pages and product actions lead to a purchase: for example viewing a product, playing a demo, starting checkout and completing an order, including the order total. When campaign attribution is on, PostHog also receives the campaign labels from the link or ad that brought you here. PostHog uses a random ID kept for 30 days, and its script keeps related ph_ entries in a cookie and your browser storage; it does not receive your name or email address. We have turned off PostHog’s IP address storage and session recording. See the PostHog privacy policy.
Microsoft Clarity
Microsoft receives the session data described under Session replay and decides how it uses that data as an independent controller. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
Do Not Sell My Personal Information
You can turn off Meta advertising measurement in Cookie Settings. Microsoft may use Microsoft Clarity data for advertising; turn off Analytics in Cookie Settings to stop Clarity. Global Privacy Control prevents optional tracking.
Data Retention
- License activation data is retained for the duration of your license.
- Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics retention settings (default 26 months).
- Clarity session recordings are kept by Microsoft for up to 30 days. Heatmaps and a sample of recordings are kept for up to 9 months.
- Purchase records are retained as required by applicable tax and accounting laws.
