Privacy policy
Last updated:
Who we are
This policy covers the Bytevane app for Windows and this website, both made by Bytevane (“we”). For anything about this policy, email bytevane@appzlr.com.
What Bytevane records, and where it stays
To show your speeds and usage, Bytevane keeps your settings, your daily usage history, your Data Guard alerts and its own log in files on your PC, inside the app’s own folder. They never leave your PC, and uninstalling Bytevane removes them.
Usage per app and per network comes from records Windows already keeps (the data behind Settings > Network & internet > Data usage). Bytevane reads them on your PC; it does not copy them anywhere else.
What we don’t collect
There is no account, no telemetry, no analytics, no advertising and no automatic crash reporting. There is no Bytevane server. We never learn which apps you use, which networks you join, or how much data you use.
The only connections Bytevane makes
Optional ping. Ping is off unless you turn it on. If you do, Bytevane pings 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare’s public DNS) every few seconds. That host sees your IP address, as with any ping. Turn ping off and that connection stops.
Microsoft Store. To show the Pro price, make the purchase and check your license, Bytevane uses the Microsoft Store on your PC. Microsoft handles the payment under the Microsoft Privacy Statement. We never see your payment details; Microsoft gives us sales reports.
Changes Bytevane makes to Windows
Pro can block an app with a Windows Firewall rule and set speed limits with Windows policies. Each change asks for administrator approval through the standard Windows prompt, every time, and you can undo it in Bytevane.
This website
bytevane.appzlr.com sets no cookies and runs no analytics or third-party scripts. Its fonts are served from the site itself. It is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes request data such as your IP address to deliver and protect the site, under the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
If you email us
We use your email address and message only to reply to you, keep them only as long as the conversation needs, and never share or sell them. Ask us at any time to delete them.
Your choices
Because we hold no data about how you use Bytevane, there is nothing on our side to access, correct or delete, apart from any email you sent us. The data on your PC is yours: uninstall Bytevane to remove it.
Bytevane does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update it here and change the date at the top. If Bytevane ever starts sending data anywhere new, this page will say so before it does.
