Status Notifier- Privacy Policy
Last updated: 01/15/2026

Status Notifier is a desktop application provided by GH TechLand (“we”, “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, retain, and protect personal information when you use Status Notifier.

Information we collect

We collect only what is needed to provide the app’s functionality, including:

• Account information
• Email address and display name (if available) used to create and manage your account.
• Subscription tier/status (e.g., Free/Starter/Professional) and subscription identifiers (such as a PayPal subscription ID if you purchase a subscription).

Linked platform information

When you connect third-party services (e.g., Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, Discord), we store:

Which services are linked and basic provider identifiers (such as provider user ID and provider email, where available).

Authentication tokens needed to keep the connection working (access/refresh tokens and expiry). These are stored in our database and/or the secure credential storage on your device. Example: Discord uses OAuth and requests “identify” and “email”.

Order and shipping information:
When you purchase hardware from our website, we collect the information needed
to process and ship your order: your name, shipping address, email address, and
order details (items, quantity, amount). We use this to fulfill your order,
provide shipping updates, handle returns or warranty claims, and keep records
required for tax and accounting.

Payment information:
Payments are processed by our payment providers (Stripe and/or PayPal). Your
full payment card details are entered with and handled by the payment provider —
we do not collect or store your full card number. We may receive limited
confirmation data such as a transaction ID, the last four digits of your card,
and billing status.

 

App features and settings (optional)

If you use these features, we may store:

Automation rules and preferences (if you create them).

Status history and export settings (if enabled in your plan).

LED/hardware configuration settings (brightness, effects, device settings).

How we use information

We use information to:

Authenticate you and connect your selected platforms.

Retrieve and show presence/status information and apply your selected color/effect actions.

Manage subscriptions and entitlements (Free vs Paid features).

Provide optional features like automation rules and history export (depending on plan).

Where we store information

Primary storage: We store limited account/linkage/subscription data in an Azure SQL Database (e.g., user record, linked providers, subscription tier/status).

Secure local storage: Some secrets (such as OAuth state and certain app secrets) may be stored using secure OS credential storage (via keychain/credential vault).

Sharing of information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:

With the platforms you choose to connect (to authenticate and retrieve the data needed for Status Notifier to work).

With infrastructure/service providers (e.g., cloud hosting/database providers) to operate the service.

With payment processors (PayPal) if you choose to subscribe. Subscription details are used to activate your plan and may be stored as identifiers in our database.

With shipping carriers, to deliver your order (name and address only).
With our payment processors (Stripe and/or PayPal), to process payments and
prevent fraud.

Children's privacy

Status Notifier and our website are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in regions where that is the applicable age). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

California privacy rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) gives you the right to know what personal information we collect, to request access to or deletion of it, to correct it, and to opt out of any "sale" or"sharing" of personal information. We do not sell your personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@ghtechland.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have rights under the GDPR/UK GDPR, including access, correction, deletion, portability, and the right to object to or restrict certain processing.

Retention and deletion

Unlinking: When you disconnect/unlink a provider, we remove the linked-provider record and any connection metadata that is no longer needed.

Subscriptions: We retain subscription tier/status and subscription identifiers while your account is active (and as needed for billing/accounting compliance).

History/automations: If enabled, we retain automation rules and history data while your account is active or until you delete them (subject to plan limits).

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Your data subject rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, and portability of your personal information, or to object/restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of Status Notifier or our website after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
