Privacy Policy

Effective: February 12, 2026  ·  Last updated: February 12, 2026

MadFable ("we," "us," "our") operates the website madfable.com and develops software products distributed through it. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and what rights you may have regarding that information. By using our website or purchasing our products, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

MadFable products are designed to run locally on your device. To the best of our knowledge, files and data you process through our tools are not transmitted to MadFable or any third party by our software. We do not intentionally collect, store, or access any data you process through our products.

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the madfable.com website and in connection with the sale and delivery of MadFable products. It does not apply to third-party websites, services, or platforms linked from our site, each of which is governed by its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third party.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

  • Purchase information: When you buy a product, our third-party payment processor collects your name, email address, billing address, and payment details. We receive your name, email, and a transaction confirmation. We do not receive, process, or store your full credit card number, CVV, or banking credentials.

  • Communications: If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit madfable.com, our hosting platform and any analytics tools we use may automatically collect certain information, which may include:

  • Browser type and version, operating system, device type, and screen resolution.

  • Pages visited, referring URL, time on page, and general browsing behavior.

  • IP address and approximate geographic location (city or region level).

  • Cookies and similar identifiers (see Section 7).

We may change analytics providers or tools at any time. Any such tools are subject to their own privacy policies.

2.3 Information Our Products Are Designed Not to Collect

MadFable software products (including but not limited to MadCrawl, Bulk Certificate Generator, and Background Remover) are architecturally designed to operate locally on your device — either as desktop applications or as browser-based tools that function without transmitting your data to external servers. Based on this design:

  • We do not intentionally collect, transmit, receive, or store any files, images, spreadsheets, generated outputs, or other content you process through our tools.

  • We do not intentionally embed analytics, telemetry, or tracking in our downloadable or browser-based products.

  • Our tools do not require user accounts, logins, or registration.

  • Where a product must connect to the internet to perform its stated function (for example, MadCrawl connects to websites to perform SEO audits), the data retrieved is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted to MadFable.

While we design our products with these principles, we cannot guarantee that no data is ever transmitted due to factors outside our control, including but not limited to operating system behavior, browser behavior, third-party libraries, network configurations, or security vulnerabilities. We disclaim liability for any unintentional data transmission to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To process and fulfill purchases, deliver product downloads, and send receipts or confirmations.

  • To respond to customer inquiries and provide product support.

  • To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it.

  • To comply with applicable legal, tax, and regulatory obligations.

  • To protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.

We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information for targeted advertising or automated profiling.

4. How We Share Your Information

We may share limited information with the following categories of third parties, solely as necessary to operate our business:

  • Payment processors: To process your purchase. They receive your billing information directly and operate under their own privacy policies and PCI-DSS obligations.

  • Website hosting and infrastructure: Our website is hosted by a third-party platform that may process certain visitor data in accordance with its own privacy policy.

  • Email and communication tools: If we send you a receipt or respond to your message, your email address may be processed by our email provider.

  • Legal compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, governmental regulation, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights, enforce our Terms of Use, investigate potential violations, or protect the safety of any person.

  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any such transfer.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with applicable legal obligations (including tax and accounting requirements), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When personal information is no longer needed for these purposes, we will delete or anonymize it in accordance with our internal data management practices. Specific retention periods may vary based on the type of data and applicable legal requirements.

6. Payment Processing

All financial transactions are handled by third-party payment processors. Your payment information is transmitted directly to and processed by the payment processor — we do not see, handle, or store your full payment card details. We receive only a payment confirmation, transaction identifier, and the billing name and email you provide. We encourage you to review the payment processor's privacy policy, which is available at the point of checkout.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies, including:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: Required for basic website functionality such as session management.

  • Analytics cookies: Used to understand traffic patterns and how visitors interact with our website.

  • Preference cookies: Used to remember your settings or choices.

We do not knowingly use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or cross-site behavioral tracking on our website. However, third-party services embedded on our site (such as payment processors or hosting platforms) may set their own cookies subject to their own policies. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality.

8. Data Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect the personal information we hold, including HTTPS encryption on our website and the use of PCI-DSS compliant payment processors. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot and do not guarantee the absolute security of your information. You acknowledge that you provide personal information at your own risk.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information, which may include the right to access, correct, delete, or port your data, and the right to opt out of certain processing activities. To make a request, contact us at mike@madfable.com. We will make reasonable efforts to respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We may verify your identity before processing a request.

We do not discriminate against any person for exercising their privacy rights under applicable law.

9.1 California Residents

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share (as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA) your personal information.

9.2 EEA, UK, and Swiss Residents

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or equivalent local law may provide you with additional rights, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Our legal bases for processing are: (a) performance of a contract (to fulfill your purchase), (b) legitimate interests (to operate and improve our website), and (c) compliance with legal obligations.

9.3 Other Jurisdictions

If you reside in a jurisdiction with applicable data protection laws not specifically addressed above, we will endeavor to honor your rights under those laws to the extent they apply to us. Contact us to submit a request.
