Overview

Thank you for choosing to be part of our community at Blackfish Software, LLC ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy covers ietab.net, your account, and the IE Tab browser extension. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at privacy@blackfishsoftware.com.

This page is the general policy for Blackfish Software and ietab.net. For what the IE Tab browser extension itself collects and transmits — including the optional cloud-hosted IE feature — see the IE Tab Extension Privacy Policy. For how the ietab.net web site uses cookies and analytics, see the Website Privacy Policy.

What We Collect

Account Sign-In and Google User Data

IE Tab uses Firebase Authentication (a Google service) to manage sign-in for your ietab.net account, which is used for license purchases and to authenticate the optional cloud-hosted IE feature. If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive from Google only your basic profile information: your name, email address, and Google account identifier. We do not request access to Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Contacts, or any other Google service data.

We use this information solely to create and identify your IE Tab account, associate your license with you, and authenticate cloud-hosted IE sessions. It is stored in Firebase Authentication on Google Cloud infrastructure and in our own account records.

IE Tab's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not sell this information, transfer it to advertising platforms or data brokers, or use it for advertising, retargeting, or credit assessment. We do not run ads or ad-tracking pixels on ietab.net, and the analytics service used on the site does not receive your Google account information.

You may request deletion of your account and associated information at any time by contacting privacy@blackfishsoftware.com. You may also revoke IE Tab's access from your Google Account permissions page at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

How We Use This Information

We use the information described above to operate and support the product — for example, to create and authenticate your account, validate a license, fulfill a purchase, or authenticate a cloud-hosted IE session — and to enforce our terms or respond to legal requests.

Will This Be Shared With Anyone?

We don't share it except as needed to comply with the law, protect our legal rights, or as part of a merger, sale, or acquisition of our business.

How Long Do We Keep It?

We keep it only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, unless a longer period is required by law. You may request deletion of your account and associated information at any time.

How Do We Keep It Safe?

We use standard technical and organizational security measures, including encrypted connections for account sign-in and cloud-hosted IE sessions, to protect the information we process.

What Are Your Privacy Rights?

If you are in the European Economic Area or another region with similar data protection laws, you may have the right to access, correct, or request erasure of the information we hold about you, or to restrict or object to its processing. To make such a request, use the contact details below. EEA residents also have the right to lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority.

Do We Make Updates To This Policy?

Yes. We will update this policy as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws and to reflect changes to the product. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
