Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

1. Overview

Privacy Keeper is a desktop application by Streetview Technology Jan Mantkowski ("panohopper," "we," "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our software and website.

2. The Software — Privacy Keeper

Privacy Keeper runs entirely on your local computer. Your images never leave your device. The software does not:

  • Upload your images or any derivative data to any server
  • Collect usage analytics or telemetry of any kind
  • Require or create any user account
  • Access the internet for its core functionality

License verification (for paid versions) requires a one-time online activation. After activation, the software operates fully offline.

3. The Website — panohopper.com

Our website at panohopper.com uses standard server logs (IP address, user agent, timestamp) for operational purposes.

With your explicit consent, we also use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. Cookies and any data transmission to Google occur only after you click "Accept" on our consent banner. Until then, no analytics cookies are set and no data is sent.

When enabled, Google Analytics processes:

  • An anonymized IP address (IP anonymization is enforced via anonymize_ip)
  • Pages viewed, referrer, approximate location (country/region), device type, and browser
  • A randomly generated client identifier stored in the _ga cookie (valid up to 2 years)

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) and §25(1) TTDSG. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing site data in your browser, which will re-display the consent banner on your next visit. Google Analytics data is processed by Google Ireland Limited; data may be transferred to the United States under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

Aside from Google Analytics, we do not use other tracking scripts, advertising pixels, or third-party data processors on our website.

5. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, and object to processing of your personal data. Since we do not collect personal data through the software, exercising these rights primarily applies to any data associated with license purchases or direct communication with us. To exercise your rights, contact us at info@panohopper.com.

6. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page.
