1. Introduction

MatchFetch ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of information when you use our Windows desktop application for DNA match analysis.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

MatchFetch is built on a strict no-data-collection policy:

• No account creation or user registration
• No usage tracking or analytics data
• No device information or system details
• No crash reporting or error logging
• No cookies, tracking pixels, or web beacons
• No IP addresses or location data

3. How Your DNA Data is Handled

Your DNA match data is handled with maximum privacy and security:

Local Processing Only

• All data processing occurs on your local computer
• No data is transmitted to our servers or third parties
• Data is stored in local SQL databases on your device
• You maintain complete control over your data at all times

Data Sources

• Data is downloaded directly from Ancestry.com or 23andMe to your device
• We only access data you can already view in your account
• Your login credentials are never stored or transmitted
• Authentication uses each service's secure login process

4. Data Security

While we don't collect personal data, we implement security best practices:

• All processing occurs locally on your device
• Internet connection required to open the application and for fetching match data
• Data remains under your exclusive control
• Application updates are distributed through secure channels
• No remote access to your data or device

5. Third-Party Services

6. Data Retention and Deletion

Since all processing is local, you control data retention:

• Data is stored only on your local device
• You can delete data by removing the database files
• Uninstalling the application removes all stored data
• No data backup or recovery services provided

7. International Data Transfers

MatchFetch does not transfer data internationally. All processing occurs locally on your device within your jurisdiction.
