Short version: we don't collect much.
What this site collects
Almost nothing. cncguy.com is a static marketing site hosted on Cloudflare. Fonts are self-hosted, so there are no third-party scripts loaded into the page beyond Cloudflare's own Web Analytics — a privacy-first, cookieless measure of aggregate page views. It sets no cookies, builds no cross-site profile, and doesn't identify you. No tracking pixels, no ad networks. Cloudflare also logs standard server data (IP, user-agent, request path) for security and abuse prevention.
What CNCGuy Edit collects
Nothing automatically. CNCGuy Edit runs entirely on your machine. Files you open stay on your machine. No telemetry, no usage analytics, no phone-home. This will not change in v1.0.
The one exception is on request: when you choose Help → Check for Updates, the editor fetches a small version file from cncguy.com. That request carries your app version, and Cloudflare logs it like any other visit to this site. It never runs on its own.
When you send feedback
Only when you click Send in Help → Send Feedback, or submit the feedback form, a report goes to CNC Guy at feedback.cncguy.com. It contains what you wrote, your reply email if you give one, and whatever the boxes you leave ticked include: a screenshot of the editor, and diagnostics (app version, Windows version, the machine setup you selected, Program Check messages, recent errors). A program file is sent only if you tick that box or attach one yourself. Reports are stored privately on Cloudflare and emailed to us, used only to fix problems and improve the product, never shared or sold. Your IP address is used to stop abuse and is not stored with the report. Ask us at hello@cncguy.com and we'll delete a report.
When you give us your email
The "Notify me" forms on this site send your email to Kit (formerly ConvertKit), a US-based email service, which stores it for one purpose: a single message when the product you signed up for ships. We also record which page you signed up from so we send the right announcement. No newsletters, no drip campaigns, no resale to third parties. Unsubscribe from that message, or email us, and your address is removed within a week. See Kit's privacy policy for how they handle it.
When you email us
Email sent to hello@cncguy.com is forwarded through Cloudflare Email Routing and lands in a personal inbox. Your message and address are kept only as long as needed to answer you. We don't add you to any list.
Cookies
The only thing this site stores in your browser is a tiny preference
for which color theme you picked (Dark / Light / Steel) — kept in
localStorage, never sent to a server. Clear your browser
data and it's gone.
Changes to this page
If we ever change what we collect — ship a Pro version with accounts, add a new integration — this page gets updated and the date at the top changes. No surprise opt-ins.
