This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and how we protect it. We want you to feel fully informed and comfortable every time you interact with this website.

We are committed to handling all personal information with care, honesty, and responsibility. We do not engage in practices that compromise your privacy, and we do not use your information in ways that go beyond what is described in this policy. Reading this page carefully will give you a clear picture of how your data is managed from the moment you arrive on this site.

This policy applies to all visitors, customers, and anyone else who uses this website. By continuing to browse or by making a purchase, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the practices described here.

Who We Are

This website is operated by ByteNetFort, an independent online retail store that sells antivirus and computer security software through digital delivery. We are not affiliated with any software manufacturer or brand. We set our own pricing independently and deliver all products in the form of product keys sent directly to the email address provided at checkout.

We operate in full compliance with the guidelines set by the Federal Trade Commission and take our obligations around data privacy seriously.

What Information We Collect

We only collect information that is necessary to operate this website, process your orders, and communicate with you when needed. We do not collect unnecessary data, and we do not ask for information that has no direct purpose in our business.

The types of information we may collect include the following.

Information You Provide Directly

When you place an order, you provide us with your name, email address, and payment details. Your email address is used to send your product key and your order confirmation. Your name is used to identify your account and personalize your order record. Payment information is entered through our payment processor, Stripe, and is not stored on our servers.

If you contact our support team by phone or email, we may collect the details of your message, including your name and email address, in order to respond to your inquiry effectively.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit this website, certain basic technical information may be collected automatically. This includes your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on the site, and referring website address. This information is collected through standard web technologies and is used to understand how visitors use our website so we can improve its performance and usability.

We may use cookies or similar tracking tools to support the basic functionality of this website. Cookies are small files placed on your device that help us recognize returning visitors and maintain a smooth browsing experience. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, though doing so may affect certain features of the website.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes only.

To process and fulfill your order, including sending your product key to the email address you provided at checkout.

To send you your order confirmation and any necessary follow-up communications related to your purchase.

To respond to questions, concerns, or support requests you submit to our team.

To maintain and improve the functionality and user experience of this website.

To detect and prevent fraudulent transactions or unauthorized activity on the website.

To comply with applicable legal obligations and to respond to lawful requests from government authorities when required.

We do not use your information to send unsolicited marketing emails. We do not sell your information to third parties. We do not share your data with advertisers.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone. We share your information only in limited circumstances and only with parties that need it to help us operate this business.

Payment Processing

All payments are handled through Stripe, a third-party payment processing service. When you enter your payment details at checkout, that information is transmitted directly to Stripe through their secure system. We do not receive or store your full card number. Stripe operates under its own privacy and security policies, and their platform is designed to protect cardholder data in accordance with industry standards.

Legal Compliance

In some cases, we may be required to share information with law enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies if we receive a lawful request or if we are required to do so to comply with applicable law. We will only share the minimum information necessary to satisfy such a requirement.

Service Providers

We may work with third-party service providers who help us operate our website, manage communications, or analyze site performance. These providers are permitted to access your information only to the extent needed to perform their specific functions, and they are not allowed to use it for any other purpose.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information you share with us. Our website uses encryption technology to secure data transmitted between your browser and our servers. Payment transactions are processed through Stripe's secure infrastructure, which is built to meet strict data protection standards.

While we work hard to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet is completely risk-free. We encourage you to use strong, unique passwords and to be cautious about sharing sensitive information online in general.

If you believe your personal information has been compromised in connection with this website, please contact us immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Data Retention

We keep your personal information only for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. Order records and associated customer details are retained for a reasonable period to allow us to address any questions or disputes related to past transactions. After that period, information is either deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with you personally.

Your Rights and Choices

You have certain rights regarding the personal information we hold about you. These include the right to ask us what information we have collected about you, to request corrections to any inaccurate information, and to request that we delete your information in circumstances where we no longer have a legitimate reason to retain it.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please reach out to our support team using the contact information at the bottom of this page. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe and work with you to address your concern.

You also have the right to opt out of any non-essential communications from us. If you have received an email from us that you did not expect, please contact us and we will make sure your preferences are updated accordingly.

Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information as quickly as possible. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us right away.

Third-Party Websites and Links

This website may contain links to the websites of software brands whose products we carry. Those websites are operated independently and have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any third-party website. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit, especially before sharing personal information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate, changes in applicable law, or improvements to our practices. When we make updates, we will revise the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back periodically so you are always aware of how your information is being handled.

Continued use of this website after any update to this policy indicates your acceptance of the revised terms.
