LPD8MQTT Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Musoft ("we," "our," or "us") handles information when you use our application LPD8MQTT (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

Information We Collect and Use

Data We Do Collect

Our App collects and transmits only the following data:

• Control Values: Pad and knob values that you input through the App's interface
• MQTT Transmission: These control values are sent to MQTT brokers/servers as specified by your configuration

Data We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:

• Personal information (name, email, phone number, etc.)
• Device identifiers or hardware information
• Location data
• Usage analytics or telemetry
• Crash reports or diagnostic data
• User preferences or settings (beyond current session)
• Any other personal or sensitive information

How We Use Your Information

The pad and knob values you input are used solely for:

• Transmitting control commands to your specified MQTT broker/server
• Providing the core functionality of the App

We do not:

• Store any data locally on your device beyond the current session
• Retain any information after you close the App
• Share data with third parties
• Use data for analytics, advertising, or any other purposes

Data Storage and Retention

• Local Storage: No data is permanently stored on your device
• Remote Storage: We do not store any user data on our servers
• Session Data: Control values exist only during your active use session and are automatically cleared when the App is closed
• MQTT Data: Any data sent to MQTT brokers is handled according to the privacy policies and practices of those third-party services

Third-Party Services

MQTT Brokers

When you use our App, control values are transmitted to MQTT brokers/servers that you configure. These are third-party services not operated by us. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any MQTT services you choose to use, as their data handling practices are independent of our App.

Data Security

While our App transmits minimal data (only control values), we implement appropriate technical measures to protect data transmission. However, please note:

• MQTT transmissions may not be encrypted by default (depending on your broker configuration)
• We recommend using secure MQTT configurations (such as MQTTS) when available
• The security of data once it reaches your MQTT broker depends on that service's security practices

Your Rights and Choices

Since we do not collect or store personal information, traditional data rights (such as data deletion or portability) are not applicable. However:

• You can stop all data transmission by simply closing the App
• You have full control over what MQTT brokers you connect to
• You can disconnect from MQTT services at any time

Children's Privacy

Our App does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. Since we do not collect personal information from any users, no special provisions for children's data are necessary.

International Users

Our App can be used globally. The minimal data transmission (control values to MQTT) occurs directly between your device and the MQTT brokers you configure, regardless of geographic location.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do:

• We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
• Significant changes will be communicated through the Microsoft Store app update notes
• Continued use of the App after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy

Microsoft Store Compliance

This App complies with Microsoft Store policies regarding:

• Data collection transparency
• User privacy protection
• Minimal data collection principles
• Clear disclosure of data practices

Legal Basis for Processing (EU Users)

For users in the European Union, our legal basis for processing the minimal data (control values) is:

• Legitimate Interest: Providing the core functionality of transmitting control commands to MQTT services as requested by the user

Summary

To summarize our privacy practices:

• ✅ We only transmit pad and knob values to MQTT brokers you configure
• ✅ No personal information is collected or stored
• ✅ No analytics, tracking, or advertising
• ✅ No data retention beyond your active session
• ✅ Full transparency about our minimal data practices
