How NetGlobe handles your data. Privacy by architecture.
NetGlobe
Van Dien io LLC, New Jersey, United States
Van Dien io LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting any personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how information is processed in connection with your use of the NetGlobe desktop software application (the “Software”). This Privacy Policy applies only to NetGlobe; other Van Dien io products (such as DropFile) are covered by their own policies.
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms part of the NetGlobe End User License Agreement (“EULA”). By installing or using NetGlobe, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with its terms, please do not install or use the Software.
NetGlobe is designed to be local-first. The Software runs entirely on your device, opens a tiny HTTP server only on the loopback interface (127.0.0.1), and renders its user interface in your default browser. By default, NetGlobe does not create user accounts, transmit telemetry, or synchronize any data to a cloud service operated by Van Dien io LLC.
NetGlobe reads and processes the following information on your device only, in order to provide its functionality. None of this information is transmitted to Van Dien io LLC:
NetGlobe makes outbound network calls only for the features listed below, and only when those features are enabled or invoked by you. Every external URL the Software may contact is listed in Settings → External Endpoints (advanced) and may be disabled, repointed to a private mirror, or replaced with your own equivalent service. None of these requests transmit your connection records, process names, or local activity to Van Dien io LLC.
The only information Van Dien io LLC itself receives is what you choose to send us:
We do not sell, rent, or trade any of this information.
If you obtain NetGlobe through the Apple Mac App Store or Microsoft Store, your purchase, billing, license validation, and update delivery are handled by Apple Inc. or Microsoft Corporation, respectively, under their own privacy policies. Van Dien io LLC receives only the aggregated, anonymized sales and crash data those platforms provide to publishers, and we do not link that data to any individual user.
We use the limited information described in Section 4 for the following purposes:
We will not use your information for advertising, behavioral profiling, or sale to third-party marketers.
Van Dien io LLC does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
We may engage trusted third-party service providers to assist in operating our business (e.g., email delivery, customer support platforms). These providers are contractually obligated to use your information solely to perform services on our behalf and to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with a legal obligation or government request; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Van Dien io LLC; (c) prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Software; or (d) protect the personal safety of users or the public.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, information we have received from you may be transferred to the successor entity. We will notify you via email or a prominent notice within the Software before information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable law. Specifically:
When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
Because NetGlobe is local-first, the security of the data it processes is primarily a function of your device’s security. We recommend keeping your operating system and the Software up to date.
For the limited correspondence and mailing-list data Van Dien io LLC does receive, we implement reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect that information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information. Regardless of location, Van Dien io LLC honors the following requests:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the address provided in Section 14 below. We will respond to verified requests within thirty (30) days. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
NetGlobe is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take prompt steps to delete such information. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.
Although the NetGlobe desktop Software is local-first and contains no analytics or telemetry (see Section 1), our marketing and legal websites, vandien.io (where this Privacy Policy is hosted) and netglobe.io, use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how visitors find and use the sites. Our Google Analytics measurement ID is AW-18147278244.
Google Analytics is loaded only on web pages. It is not part of the NetGlobe Software, is not bundled into any installer, and does not run on your device after the Software is installed.
When you visit a page that loads the Google Analytics tag, Google may set first-party cookies in your browser (typically named “_ga” and “_ga_<container-id>”) and process the following information:
We use this information only in aggregate, to measure site traffic and to understand which pages and product features are of interest to visitors. We do not use Google Analytics to build advertising audiences, to retarget visitors, or to identify you as an individual. Google acts as our data processor and processes this data under Google’s own terms; for additional detail see Google’s Privacy Policy and the Google Analytics safeguards page.
You can prevent your visit from being measured at any time by:
Disabling website analytics has no effect on your ability to download, install, or use NetGlobe.
Van Dien io LLC reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this document and notify you through the Software or via the email address associated with your purchase, where applicable. Your continued use of NetGlobe after such notification constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle information.
