Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Augusta Search (“we”, “us”) handles personal information when you use augustasearch.com and the Augusta Search Windows application.
What the product is: Augusta Search is a desktop app you install. Your publications are stored on your computer. This website is a marketing and download site. We do not operate a cloud document library or web upload workspace.
Information we collect on the website: Technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages viewed; cookies or similar technologies where used (including Google Tag Manager / analytics); and information you send us by email. If you buy a licence, Stripe processes payment details. We receive confirmation that a payment succeeded and the contact details needed to issue a licence key.
Information on your PC: Documents you add, search history, and local settings stay in the application’s data on your device unless you choose to share them (for example by exporting an answer or emailing us for support).
Questions and AI processing: When you ask a question or use features that need a language or vision model, the app may send your query and retrieved excerpts (and, for some features, page images) to an AI provider so an answer can be generated. Do not add content you are not authorised to use.
How we use information: To provide the website and installer, issue and support licence keys, process payments, improve reliability and security, and reply to you. We do not sell your personal information.
Third-party services: We use processors such as web hosting, payment processing (Stripe), email, analytics (where enabled), and AI model providers used by the desktop app. Those providers process data under their own terms and only as needed to run Augusta Search.
Payments: Card payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers on our servers. Stripe’s privacy policy applies to payment data they process.
Data security: We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information we hold. You are responsible for securing the device where the app and your PDFs are stored. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Retention: Payment and licence records are kept as needed for billing, fraud prevention, and legal obligations. Website analytics follow the tools we enable. You can delete local app data by removing the application data folder and uninstalling.
Your rights: Depending on your location, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you. Contact [email protected].
Cookies: We may use cookies or similar technologies for security and (where enabled) analytics on the website. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
International transfers: We operate with infrastructure that may process data outside your country (for example payments, email, or AI providers). Where required, we take steps appropriate to the transfer.
Children: The software and site are directed to professionals and business users, not to children.
Changes: We may update this Privacy Policy. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
