Privacy Policy
Privacy First: HyLauncher is designed as an offline launcher. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal information.
1. Information We Collect
Short answer: None.
HyLauncher operates entirely on your local machine in offline mode. We do not collect any personal information, usage data, or analytics from the launcher application itself.

This data is aggregated and anonymous. We cannot identify individual users from this information.
3. Downloads
When you download HyLauncher, the hosting provider may log:
- Download timestamp

This information is used solely to prevent abuse and ensure download availability. We do not use it for tracking or marketing purposes.

6. Data Storage and Security
HyLauncher stores game data and configuration files locally on your computer. This includes:

All data remains on your device. We have no access to it.
7. Children's Privacy
HyLauncher does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal information at all, this is inherently protected. Parents should supervise their children's internet usage.
8. Your Rights
Since we don't collect personal data, there's nothing to request, delete, or export. You maintain full control over all local data stored by the launcher.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy occasionally. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
10. Open Source Transparency
HyLauncher is community-developed. Users are encouraged to review the source code to verify our privacy claims and ensure no unauthorized data collection occurs.

If you have questions about this privacy policy or data practices, please reach out through our Discord community.
Final note: HyLauncher respects your privacy. We don't collect your data because we don't need it. Your gaming experience is yours alone.
