Privacy built for serious WinForms products.
Siticone UI is a local-first WinForms UI component product. This policy explains what information we may collect, why we use it, how licensing and support data are handled, and how you can contact us about privacy or security questions.
A practical privacy policy for Siticone UI users
This Privacy Policy applies to Siticone UI, including our website, licensing services, support channels, updates, product packages, documentation, and related services. Siticone UI is owned by Siticone Technology. Siticone Technology is owned by BriskMeta Technology, the parent company.
The Siticone UI components are designed mainly for local application use. In normal runtime use, your deployed application controls user data inside your own application. Communication with our services is mainly related to licensing, activation, trial registration, support, purchases, downloads, updates, or customer communication.
01 Information We May Collect
We collect only what is needed to provide our website, product access, licensing, support, updates, and customer service.
- Contact details: name, email address, company name, and message content when you contact us, request support, or make a business inquiry.
- Purchase and license details: order information, license plan, package type, activation status, subscription or perpetual license status, and invoice-related information.
- Support information: screenshots, logs, project details, device information, error descriptions, sample code, and technical details you choose to send to us.
- Website and security data: browser type, approximate location, pages visited, timestamps, IP address, device type, and security logs used for reliability, fraud prevention, abuse prevention, and analytics.
02 Collection and Storage
Siticone UI is built primarily as a local desktop UI component library. Your application decides how runtime user data is stored, processed, and transmitted.
- User input inside your deployed application is normally handled locally by your application and its runtime environment.
- Component state, cached UI values, theme settings, accessibility settings, and exported files are controlled by your application unless you choose to connect them to another service.
- Temporary files or exported files created by Siticone controls remain where your application or user saves them.
- We may store customer account, support, licensing, activation, invoice, and communication records where needed to provide the service.
03 How We Use Information
We use information for clear product and service purposes.
- To provide downloads, licensing, activations, renewals, invoices, and customer access.
- To answer technical support, sales, licensing, bug report, and business inquiries.
- To improve product quality, documentation, website performance, security, and customer experience.
- To prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, license misuse, piracy, or security incidents.
- To meet legal, accounting, tax, compliance, and business record obligations.
04 Trial, License, and Activation Data
Siticone UI may communicate with our licensing services when registering, validating, activating, renewing, or de-registering trial periods and premium licenses.
- License checks may include license key, product package, plan, activation count, device or environment identifiers, activation dates, and related validation information.
- Licensing communication is intended for design-time, activation, renewal, anti-piracy, and license-compliance purposes.
- Deployed runtime applications should not contact our licensing server unless a product feature or your implementation specifically enables external communication.
- We use license and activation data to protect legitimate customers, prevent misuse, and keep licensing reliable.
05 Security Measures
We take practical steps to protect customer, licensing, support, and service information.
- We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, and alteration.
- Some Siticone controls may support encrypted user-generated files when the user chooses to export or save encrypted data.
- Where encryption options are available, they are used only when enabled or selected by the relevant feature, user, or application.
- We review security issues and release updates where needed to address bugs, compatibility issues, and security concerns.
- No online service or software system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so you should also secure your own application, servers, and user data.
06 Third-Party Services and Components
Siticone UI works within the Microsoft .NET and Windows ecosystem and may be used with third-party services chosen by you.
- WinForms, .NET, Windows, GDI+, and related platform features may process data inside your application environment.
- Payment providers, hosting providers, analytics providers, email services, and license infrastructure may process limited information where needed to provide our services.
- Your own integrations, APIs, databases, telemetry systems, and cloud services are controlled by you and your own policies.
- Third-party providers may have their own privacy policies, security rules, and legal terms.
07 Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on your location and the laws that apply, you may have rights over your personal information.
- You may ask us to confirm whether we hold personal information about you.
- You may ask us to correct inaccurate contact, account, invoice, or license information.
- You may request deletion where we no longer need the information and where the law allows deletion.
- You may object to certain processing or ask us to limit processing where applicable law provides that right.

09 Frequently Asked Questions
Does Siticone UI transmit my users' runtime data to external servers?
By default, Siticone UI components are local UI controls used inside your application. Runtime user data is handled by your application. Licensing communication is mainly for trial registration, activation, deactivation, renewal, and validation, usually during design-time or license-management workflows.
How long is user input data stored?
User input inside your application is controlled by your application. If your application stores data, exports files, or saves component state, retention depends on your own code, settings, storage location, and user choices.
Is Siticone UI designed with privacy in mind?
Yes. Siticone UI is designed as a local-first UI component library. Most runtime behavior happens inside your application. You remain responsible for how your application collects, stores, processes, and transmits data.
How are security updates handled?
We release updates when needed for improvements, bug fixes, compatibility work, and security-related changes. We recommend using current versions where practical.
