Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 12, 2026
Website: https://www.gh0sted.com
Publisher: Gh0sted

Gh0sted (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides Claw Detective, our website at https://www.gh0sted.com, and other software, tools, apps, and related services we may publish from time to time (collectively, the “Services”).

We aim to collect as little user data as possible. We do not intentionally collect personal information except where it is necessary to operate the Services, respond to support requests or messages, protect the Services, comply with the law, or work with the third-party platforms required to distribute or host our Services.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly

We may receive information you choose to provide to us, such as when you:

  • contact us by email or through a contact form

  • request support

  • send feedback

  • communicate with us for any other reason

This may include your name, email address, and any information you include in your message.

Information collected automatically

Even when we try to minimize data collection, some information may be collected automatically by the systems and third-party services used to operate our website and apps. This can include:

  • IP address

  • browser type and version

  • device type and operating system

  • app version

  • referring pages or links

  • pages visited or requests made

  • crash logs, diagnostics, and error reports

  • approximate location derived from IP address

  • dates and times of access

This information may be collected by hosting providers, website platforms, app stores, content delivery networks, analytics providers, security tools, or operating system vendors. We do not use this information to identify users personally unless it is reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, debugging, abuse prevention, or legal compliance.

App and device data

Claw Detective and our other apps are intended to minimize unnecessary data collection. Where possible, app functionality is designed to operate locally on your device.

However, depending on the platform, some technical information may still be collected automatically by app stores, operating systems, crash-reporting tools, or similar infrastructure used to distribute, secure, and maintain the app.

We do not sell user data.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information we receive or that is collected automatically to:

  • operate, deliver, and maintain the Services

  • provide customer support and respond to inquiries

  • diagnose bugs, crashes, and technical issues

  • monitor performance, reliability, and security

  • detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access

  • comply with legal obligations

  • enforce our policies, terms, and rights

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for core site functionality, security, performance, or basic platform operations.

If we later use non-essential cookies or analytics tools beyond what is required to run the website, we may update this Privacy Policy and, where required by law, request consent.

4. Analytics and Tracking

We do not intentionally use advertising trackers or sell personal data for targeted advertising.

However, our website or apps may rely on third-party platforms or services that collect limited technical or usage information automatically in order to provide hosting, infrastructure, security, diagnostics, or platform-level analytics.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent personal information.

We may share limited information only in the following circumstances:

  • with vendors, service providers, or platforms that help us host, secure, distribute, support, or operate the Services

  • when required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process

  • when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, security, users, or the public

  • in connection with a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, financing, or asset sale

6. Third-Party Services

Our Services may depend on third-party services and platforms, which may collect or process information under their own privacy policies. These may include, for example:

  • website hosting or site-building providers

  • domain and DNS providers

  • app stores and software distribution platforms

  • operating system vendors

  • payment processors

  • customer support providers

  • email providers

  • crash reporting or diagnostics providers

  • security, anti-abuse, or infrastructure providers

If you use a third-party platform to access or download one of our Services, that platform may collect information separately from us.

7. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

  • respond to support requests and communications

  • maintain the security and integrity of the Services

  • comply with legal obligations

  • resolve disputes

  • enforce agreements and policies

If you contact us, we may retain that correspondence and related records for support, legal, and business recordkeeping purposes.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information handled in connection with the Services.

That said, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to address the issue.

10. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have legal rights regarding personal information, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of certain processing.

To make a privacy-related request, please contact us at admin@gh0sted.com.

We will review and respond to requests as required by applicable law.

11. International Users

If you access the Services from outside the country where we operate, your information may be processed in countries that may have different data protection laws than those in your jurisdiction.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the revised version on https://www.gh0sted.com and update the Effective Date above.
