          <h2>Summary</h2>
          <p>
            Switchlet is designed to do most of its work locally on your Mac.
            The app does not require an account or a cloud backend to route
            links. The website uses privacy-friendly traffic analytics so the
            site owner can understand aggregate usage.
          </p>

          <h2>Information the website collects</h2>
          <p>
            The website uses <a href="https://www.goatcounter.com/">GoatCounter</a>
            to measure page views, downloads, and outbound link clicks.
            GoatCounter is configured as a simple analytics service and is
            intended to avoid invasive cross-site tracking.
          </p>
          <p>The website may receive limited technical information such as:</p>
          <ul>
            <li>Page URLs and referrers</li>
            <li>Approximate browser and device information</li>
            <li>Basic event data such as download or GitHub link clicks</li>
            <li>IP-derived request metadata processed by hosting and analytics providers</li>
          </ul>

          <h2>Information the app handles</h2>
          <p>
            The app reads browser profile metadata stored locally on your Mac so
            it can present the available browsers and profiles when routing a
            link. This processing happens locally on your device.
          </p>
          <p>The app may also handle:</p>
          <ul>
            <li>URLs you open through Switchlet</li>
            <li>Domain routing rules and preferences you configure</li>
            <li>Clipboard URLs when you use the clipboard link picker</li>
          </ul>
          <p>
            This data is used to provide the app's core functionality and is not
            sent to a Switchlet-operated backend service.
          </p>

          <h2>Network access</h2>
          <p>
            The website makes network requests required to serve the site,
            load fonts, and record privacy-friendly analytics.
          </p>
          <p>
            The app does not require a Switchlet account or cloud sync service.
            Depending on the build and configuration, the app may make network
            requests for release, update, or notarization-related distribution
            features such as Sparkle update checks.
          </p>

          <h2>Sharing</h2>
          <p>
            Information may be processed by third-party infrastructure used to
            operate the site and distribute the app, including GitHub Pages,
            GitHub Releases, Google Fonts, GoatCounter, and Sparkle-related
            update infrastructure where applicable.
          </p>

          <h2>Retention</h2>
          <p>
            Website analytics and hosting logs are retained according to the
            policies and configuration of the third-party providers operating
            those services. Data stored locally by the app remains on your
            device unless you remove the app or its preferences.
          </p>

          <h2>Your choices</h2>
          <p>You can:</p>
          <ul>
            <li>Avoid using the website if you do not want website analytics recorded</li>
            <li>Disable or limit app features you do not want to use, such as update checks if available in-app</li>
            <li>Remove the app and its local data from your Mac at any time</li>
          </ul>

          <h2>Children's privacy</h2>
          <p>
            Switchlet is not directed to children under 13, and the site owner
            does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
          </p>

          <h2>Changes</h2>
          <p>
            This policy may be updated from time to time. The effective date at
            the top of this page will be updated when changes are made.
          </p>
