Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

PusTechnologies, operating ReadMeter ("we," "our," or "us"), is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Firestore optimization tools and services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

• Account information (email address, name)
• Payment information processed through Gumroad (gumroad.com, our payment provider)
• Support communications and feedback

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

• On readmeter.dev: usage data and analytics (for example which pages are viewed and conversion-related events), device and browser-type signals, and IP-derived data processed by our analytics providers as described in section 5.
• Firestore read patterns and counts from your app are processed only on your machine during development. ReadMeter does not upload your Firestore document payloads or your read metrics to our servers for analysis.

2.3 Product telemetry (CLI)

If you install ReadMeter using our installer, we may create a random pseudonymous identifier on your device (stored in ~/.readmeter/telemetry_id). The ReadMeter CLI may send optional, coarse product-usage events to our servers (for example when a successful readmeter add or readmeter remove finishes). Those events can include a coarse stack hint (such as Next.js, Nuxt, or unknown) and never include your project path, repository name, Firestore payloads, or end-user data from your applications.

You can disable this telemetry by setting the environment variable READMETER_TELEMETRY=0 before running the installer or before running readmeter commands. If the identifier file is not present or telemetry is disabled, no CLI usage events are sent.

We process these events with PostHog (EU region) to understand product adoption. Retention and subprocessors are governed by PostHog's policies.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our services
• Process transactions and send related information
• Send technical notices, updates, and support messages
• Respond to your comments and questions
• Monitor and analyze usage patterns and trends
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues

4. Data Storage and Security

ReadMeter is a development-time tool that operates locally in your development environment. Firestore read data and metrics are processed and stored locally on your machine and are not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly choose to share such data for support purposes.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Third-Party Services

We use third-party services that may process personal or technical data when you use our website, purchase a license, or contact support:

• Gumroad (gumroad.com): Payment processing. See Gumroad's privacy policy at gumroad.com/privacy
• PostHog (EU): Product and marketing analytics on readmeter.dev and server-side analytics for license flows and optional CLI telemetry. See posthog.com/privacy
• Ahrefs: Website analytics script on readmeter.dev. See ahrefs.com/privacy

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

• Access to your personal information
• Correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion of your personal information
• Objection to processing of your personal information
• Data portability
• Withdrawal of consent

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies on readmeter.dev for essential functionality, preferences, and analytics (including PostHog and third-party scripts noted above). You can instruct your browser to refuse cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent; some features may not work as intended if you block strictly necessary cookies.

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
