Our philosophy at Canitag Apps N Crafts is to respect your expectation of privacy to the extent possible. If we can figure out a way to provide the functionality we want to offer at the quality we want to offer without keeping any information, we will. However, reality dictates we must keep some information to ensure you have a good experience. For example, if you need a more black & white color scheme to easily read our website, we believe you'll be happier telling us once. Asking you on every page if you'd like to use a different color scheme would be extremely annoying.

We try to keep only the minimum information necessary to provide you with a good experience. We try to be open about what information we do keep. If we ever decide to keep personal information, for example, from registering a product, we plan to keep the information in an place guarded by access controls and, where we can figure out a good way to do so, in an encrypted format.

We build our website and applications based on the following principles:

• Do not collect information that identifies a specific device, person, or network address without very obviously asking permission first. Always explain how the information will be used when asking permission.
• The only good reason for collecting information automatically is to use it for the your benefit. Legal necessity is an acceptable reason.

• Reporting (anonymous) incidents of serious malfunction benefits you by enabling us to find and fix issues that make your experience much worse.
• Reporting (anonymous) performance statistics benefits you by enabling us to find and fix issues in which our products are burdening your computer, table, or phone.
• Reporting (anonymous) usage statistics benefits you by guiding us to put more effort into making sure that the feature you use most work well.

• Be transparent about what data is collected.
• Be transparent about how we use the data we collect.
• Let you find out on this website what the privacy policy is for a product before you make your decision to buy.
• Opt-in is the best policy. Think twice before not using opt-in.
• Opt-out is the next best policy. Think twice and twice again before not using opt-in or opt-out
• Where possible, aggregate even the anonymous data.

Our website data collection is neither opt-in nor opt-out because our business is critically dependent on having it work well and because websites are exposed to attack by both the malicious and the pranksters. We try to offset this by collecting counts. For example, we count how many people visit Gauge Calculator Online application page. We do not record who those people are.
