Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how HoneyView (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit honeyview.net. Our site provides download links, usage guides, and reference material for the HoneyView image viewer software developed by Bandisoft.

By accessing or using this website, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

Information We Collect

Information You Voluntarily Provide

We only collect personal information that you choose to give us. If you use our contact form, we receive your name, email address, and the message you send. We do not require account registration, and we do not process payments on this site.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit honeyview.net, certain data is recorded automatically by our servers and third-party services:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring URL (the page that brought you here)
  • Pages you visited and how long you spent on each
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, or tablet)
  • Approximate geographic location at the country or region level, derived from your IP address

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — for several purposes:

  • Essential cookies: Required for basic WordPress functionality. These keep the site running properly.
  • Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4): If active, GA4 tracks pageviews, session duration, traffic sources, and aggregated demographic data. GA4 does not collect personally identifiable information. You can opt out using Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
  • Advertising cookies (Google AdSense): If active, AdSense uses cookies to show ads relevant to your interests based on your browsing history. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ad Settings or at aboutads.info.
  • Cloudflare cookies: Our CDN provider, Cloudflare, sets cookies like __cf_bm for performance optimization and bot detection. These are strictly functional.

How We Use Your Information

The data we collect serves these specific purposes:

  • Operating and maintaining the honeyview.net website
  • Analyzing visitor traffic and improving our content through analytics
  • Displaying relevant advertisements through AdSense
  • Responding to messages you send via the contact form
  • Detecting and preventing security threats through Cloudflare

We do not use your data for any purpose beyond what is listed here.

Third-Party Services

We rely on a handful of third-party services to run this website. Each has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle your data:

We do not control how these services process your information beyond the configurations available to us.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data to anyone. We do not share your information with third parties except through the services described above (Google, Cloudflare).

We may disclose your data if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental regulation. Aggregated and anonymized data — which cannot identify any individual — may be used internally to improve the site.

Data Retention

  • Server logs: Retained for up to 30 days, then automatically deleted.
  • Analytics data: Retained according to Google Analytics settings, typically up to 14 months.
  • Contact form submissions: Kept until your inquiry is resolved, then deleted.
  • Cookies: Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies follow their individual expiration periods.

Your Rights and Choices

You have several options for controlling how your data is handled:

  • Disable or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.
  • Opt out of Google Analytics tracking with the official browser add-on.
  • Opt out of personalized ads at Google Ad Settings.
  • Request deletion of any personal data we hold by reaching out through our Contact page.

EU/EEA residents: Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, erase, port, and object to the processing of your personal data.

California residents: Under the CCPA, you have the right to know what data we collect, request its deletion, opt out of any sale (we do not sell data), and receive equal service regardless of your privacy choices.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child has submitted data to us, please contact us through our Contact page.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information collected through this site. All traffic to honeyview.net is encrypted with HTTPS/SSL. Cloudflare provides DDoS protection and a Web Application Firewall.

That said, no method of transmitting data over the internet is perfectly secure. While we do our best, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International Data Transfers

Our servers and third-party services may process your data in countries other than your own. By using honeyview.net, you consent to such transfers. Where applicable, we rely on standard contractual clauses and other recognized safeguards to protect your data during international transfers.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the site after changes are published means you accept the updated policy.
