PRIVACY / BRAINS
LOCAL
MEANS LOCAL.
1. Who we are
Puggles is the software brand of Platy, operated by Martijn Smit in the Netherlands (KvK 42021754). Correspondence address: Verdunplein 17, Box D9966, 5627 SZ Eindhoven, Netherlands. Privacy enquiries can be sent to martijn@platy.nl or hello@puggles.app.
2. Data in the Brains application
Brains is designed as a local-first Windows app. Its threads, notes, attached files and other working data are stored on your own PC rather than in a Puggles cloud workspace. A Puggles account is not required for core use. Local data can still be included in backups or synchronisation that you configure on your own device.
3. Visiting the website
The supplied website pages do not intentionally include advertising or analytics scripts. The web host and network providers may process technical connection information such as IP address, request path, timestamps and user agent for hosting, troubleshooting and security. The exact host log retention settings depend on the hosting provider.
4. Purchasing through Payhip
Purchases and digital delivery are processed by Payhip and its payment providers, rather than in the Brains application. They may process contact, transaction, billing, fraud-prevention and payment data under their own privacy notices. We may receive order details and buyer contact information necessary for administration, support, taxes and statutory obligations. Payment card details are handled by the payment providers.
5. Email and support
If you email us, we process the name, email address, message, and files that you choose to supply to answer your enquiry and resolve problems. Please remove private, sensitive or confidential content from screenshots and attachments wherever possible. Do not email passwords or payment-card details.
6. Purposes and retention
Personal information is used to deliver and administer purchases, provide support, meet legal and tax obligations, prevent misuse, and maintain the website. We retain it only as long as necessary for those purposes or as required by law; retention periods may differ for transaction records and support messages.
7. Your rights
Where applicable under privacy law, you may request access to, correction or erasure of your personal information, or object to or ask for restrictions on certain processing. Contact hello@puggles.app. You can also complain to the competent data protection authority, including the Dutch Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
8. Your local files
You control the files stored in Brains on your computer. Secure your Windows account and keep backups. If any optional online or telemetry features are introduced later, the relevant privacy information should be updated before they become available.
