Privacy Policy

Who we are

PathProof is a product of Zenith App Foundry, a business name of Zenith Consulting Services Pty Ltd (ABN 29 918 988 901), an Australian company. This policy covers the pathproof.app website and the PathProof desktop application. The brand websites have their own policies: Zenith App Foundry and Zenith Consulting Services. Contact for anything privacy related: support@zenithappfoundry.com.

What we collect

• Free trial: the first 7 days need no signup, so we hold no personal details for them. When PathProof starts during the trial it checks in with our licence server, sending only a one-way salted hash of your operating system's machine identifier plus the app version. That hash lets us count machines and end a trial if the software is abused; it is not reversible and it is not linked to you. No hostname, no MAC address, no username, no schedule data.
• Beta registration: after the trial, your email address, so we can issue and send your free beta licence key.
• Contact form: your name, email address, the optional company field, and your message, so we can reply.
• Name: if you enter your first and last name in the PathProof licence screen, we store it with your licence record so support can address you properly.
• Licence and download activity: licence checks, download counts, the app version, and a device identifier for each device your licence is used on, tied to your licence record and used to operate the beta and apply fair-use device limits.
• Support email: whatever you send us when you email support.
• Standard server logs: our hosting (Amazon CloudFront and AWS WAF) records request metadata such as IP address and user agent for security and abuse prevention.

What PathProof does not collect

• Your project schedules are processed locally on your device and are never sent to our servers.
• The app sends no usage telemetry or analytics to us.
• AI assistant API keys are stored locally on your device and never transmitted to us. If you enable the AI assistant, your prompts and selected project data go directly from your device to your chosen AI provider (Anthropic or OpenAI) under their terms.

Cookies and analytics

This website uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages get read. It sets cookies and records a truncated IP address. We have turned off Google signals and advertising personalisation, so your visit is not used to build an advertising profile or followed across other sites. We honour the Global Privacy Control signal: if your browser sends it, analytics never loads. Google Analytics processes data overseas, including in the United States, under Google's terms.

The contact form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that a submission comes from a person rather than a script. Cloudflare receives technical signals from your browser to make that judgement, under their privacy policy.

How we use and share it

We use your details only to run the beta: issuing and sending your licence key, validating licences, responding to support and contact enquiries, and occasional beta update emails. We do not sell or rent personal information, ever. Data is stored with Amazon Web Services in Australia (Sydney region), and email is delivered via Amazon SES; AWS acts as our processor. We disclose personal information only if required by law.

Retention and deletion

We keep licence records for the life of the beta program and any successor licence you take up. Anonymous trial records (the machine-identifier hash described above) carry no personal information and are kept for the beta period. Email support@zenithappfoundry.com from your signup address and we will delete your record, normally within 30 days.

Your rights

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 you may request access to and correction of your personal information. If you are in the EEA or UK, the GDPR and UK GDPR also give you the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection; our lawful basis for processing is performance of the beta licence you request (contract) and our legitimate interest in operating and securing the service. Exercise any of these rights by emailing support@zenithappfoundry.com. You can also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner or, for EEA/UK residents, your local supervisory authority.

Changes

We will post any changes to this policy on this page with a new effective date. Material changes will be flagged in a beta update email.
