Sophwares Privacy Policy.
Last updated [29 Mar 2022]
We at Sophwares believe that Privacy is a basic human right. As such we abhor the fact that a Privacy Policy is actually needed to define how close we can come to the line before we break a law. But law schools tend to be expensive so the poor buggers need to make a buck somehow, thus I suppose that we need to provide this Policy. Maybe next I will provide you with a list of commandments, but then there has been a few provided through the ages, so It would only be redundant.
If you are LGBTQ-XYZ, we love and support you, will join you in your struggle against the ignorant, intolerant, and/or hateful, and we won’t tell.
If you’ve had or are contemplating an abortion we compassionately empathize with the tragic circumstances that placed you in this situation, we will smother you with a blanket of love, and will join you in your battle against the ignorant, intolerant, and/or hateful who try to rob you of your right to choose, and we won’t tell.
If you choose a path of debauchery, hedonistic pursuits, and moral degradation, we would discourage you from self harm or harm to others. We won’t tell, but we do believe in Karma.
If you break a law and we find out about it, we will tell.
It is a given that Sophwares respects the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains that if we ever do collect, use, disclose, or need to safeguard your information when you visit our website, or use one of our products we will do more than simply follow the law. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, or not. God knows you have a better use of your time and we will not twist your arm to read it. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE OUR PRODUCTS OR ACCESS OUR WEBSITE. We’d rather do business with nice people.
We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of this Privacy Policy. You are encouraged to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed of updates. You will be deemed to have been made aware of, will be subject to, and will be deemed to have accepted the changes in any revised Privacy Policy by your continued use of our products after the date such revised Privacy Policy is posted.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the third-party online/mobile store from which you obtain our Products. We are not responsible for any of the data collected by any such third party. They have lawyers, they can take care of themselves.
