Privacy Policy

1. Who Operates the Website

This website and the digital products developed under the Norticus Software brand are operated commercially by:

Formal business registration details, applicable legal jurisdictions, and official postal address will be updated upon final administrative confirmation.

2. Information Processed When You Visit

When you browse this website, hosting network infrastructure automatically processes technical network requests necessary to transmit web pages to your browser securely and reliably.

Website preview and delivery are currently served via Cloudflare infrastructure (including previews on Cloudflare Workers and Pages environments). In delivering static assets and mitigating security threats or abusive traffic, Cloudflare's edge network processes standard HTTP connection metadata. This may include your IP address, browser user-agent string, operating system, requested URL, referring page, and request timestamps.

Direct Studio Handling: Norticus Software does not directly collect, maintain, or query server-side visitor logs, nor do we construct user profiles or link technical request data to personal identities. Provider-level edge log retention, geographical processing points, and infrastructure security configurations are managed by Cloudflare in accordance with their standard infrastructure practices and privacy documentation.

3. Cookies, Analytics, and Self-Hosted Fonts

We strive to keep the website minimal and avoid client-side tracking:

• No Tracking or Advertising Cookies: This website does not set tracking cookies, advertising identifiers, or cross-site tracking scripts.
• No Client-Side Web Analytics: We do not operate third-party analytics scripts, marketing beacons, or session replay tools on this website.
• Self-Hosted Web Fonts: Typographic font files (Plus Jakarta Sans, Inter, and JetBrains Mono) are hosted directly as static assets within our website distribution under the SIL Open Font License. Your browser does not connect to external font delivery networks (such as Google Fonts), and your IP address is not shared with third-party font providers.

Technical Note: The absence of client-side tracking scripts or cookies does not alter the fact that hosting-provider edge infrastructure processes standard network connection requests as outlined in Section 2.

4. How KERF Handles PDF Files

KERF is an independent preflight diagnostic tool designed for authors, self-publishers, and book creators. We recognize that manuscripts and cover artwork represent sensitive, proprietary creative work.

5. Email Communications and Data Retention

Inbound email correspondence sent to contact@norticussoftware.com is forwarded to our administrative mailbox via Cloudflare Email Routing. When you contact the studio by email, we receive the personal information you choose to provide, such as your email address, name, and message contents.

• Use of Information: Contact information is used solely to respond to your inquiry, provide support, or discuss product feedback. We do not sell, rent, or distribute contact details, nor do we add correspondents to marketing mailing lists.
• Data Retention Practices: We intend to retain correspondence only for as long as necessary to address your request and maintain reasonable business records. Formal mailbox retention workflows and administrative cleanup procedures are currently being defined; we do not promise an automated fixed deletion schedule at this draft stage.

6. Privacy Rights and Legal Review

Depending on your jurisdiction and the legal frameworks that apply to your interactions with us (such as regulations in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or various US states), you may hold statutory rights regarding personal data held about you. Where applicable, these may include rights to request access to, rectification of, or erasure of personal correspondence.

For privacy inquiries or requests regarding personal data, contact contact@norticussoftware.com.

The legal scope, applicable legal bases (such as legitimate interest or consent), cross-border data transfer mechanisms, and third-party infrastructure recipient disclosures are subject to formal legal counsel review before commercial launch.

Policy Updates: This draft policy will be updated as operational infrastructure is finalized and formal legal review is completed. Revised versions will be published on this page with an updated effective date and version number.
