Privacy policy

We collect very little. Here's all of it.

Last updated 9 November 2026. This policy covers this website and the Vow apps, made by XTO Pty Ltd (ACN 702 801 410), L1 457 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills, NSW 2010, Australia.

The short version

  • Vow apps do their work on your PC. Your files (songs, documents, photos) are never uploaded to us.
  • There are no accounts, no advertising, no ad trackers and no selling or sharing of your data.
  • We keep only what we need to run the site, sell licenses and answer you.

On this website

  • Downloads. When you download an app we record which app, the time, your browser's user-agent and the page that sent you, with a one-way hash of your IP address (never the address itself). We use this to count downloads.
  • Messages. If you contact us, we keep your name, email and message to reply and to help you later.
  • New-app emails. If you sign up, we keep your email address to tell you about new apps. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe, or just ask us.
  • Your theme. Your dark or light choice is saved in your own browser (local storage). We set no cookies of our own.
  • Analytics. If we turn on Google Analytics to understand which pages help people, it will be listed here before it goes live.

In the apps

  • Your files stay on your PC. The processing happens locally.
  • Licensing. To check the daily free allowance and to activate Unlimited, an app may contact our license server (license.xto.au) with an anonymous identifier of your PC. If you buy Unlimited, we keep your license key, the email you give and which PCs it is activated on.
  • Things you ask for. Some apps go online for a task you start, for example Vow Driver Finder searching Microsoft's official driver catalog, or an app downloading an optional AI model. Only what that task needs is sent.

Payments

Unlimited is paid through Stripe. Your card details go to Stripe, never to us. Stripe's privacy policy applies to the payment.

How long we keep it, and your rights

Download records are kept for up to 24 months, messages for as long as needed to help you, license records for as long as the license exists. You can ask to see, correct or delete what we hold about you at any time, and to unsubscribe from emails, by writing to [email protected]. We handle personal information under the Australian Privacy Principles, and honour equivalent requests from anywhere in the world.
