This Privacy Policy explains what data the Excel2JSON app for Windows handles. The short version: Excel2JSON converts your spreadsheets to JSON entirely on your own PC. The files you convert, their contents and the JSON they produce never leave your machine. The only thing that ever reaches a server of Bosau Digital LLC ("we", "us") is a license check. The app builds no analytics profile of you and shows no advertising. This policy covers the app; for the pythonandvba.com website itself, please see the website Privacy Policy.

1. Who We Are

Excel2JSON is made by Bosau Digital LLC, the company behind pythonandvba.com. For any privacy-related question, contact contact@pythonandvba.com.

2. Your Spreadsheets Never Leave Your PC

Everything Excel2JSON does to your files happens locally. The reader and converter ship inside the app and run on your computer: Excel workbooks, CSV files, LibreOffice documents and pasted cells are read and turned into JSON right there. No cloud service and no AI service ever sees your data.

The JSON, NDJSON, CSV or TSV you produce is copied to your clipboard or written only to the folders you choose when saving. Excel2JSON does not upload, sync or transmit your spreadsheets, their file names or their contents. There is no server that could receive them.

3. Data Stored on Your PC

The app keeps a small amount of data locally, in the folder Excel2JSON inside your Windows user profile and in the app's own local settings storage:

• Your license key and activation details
• Your app settings, such as the chosen output format and dark mode
• Your acceptance of the license agreement (EULA)
• The free-tier conversion counter (how many free conversions you have used), kept in the app's data folder, the Windows registry and a small hidden file in your Windows user folder

Uninstalling keeps your license. Removing the app leaves the Excel2JSON folder in place, so reinstalling later brings your activation back without re-entering the key. To erase everything, delete that folder.

4. Data That Leaves Your PC

License checks

When you enter your license key, and again from time to time when the app starts, Excel2JSON verifies the key against our license server at api.pythonandvba.com. This sends your license key, the name of your PC together with a short identifier derived from your Windows installation (used to enforce the per-device limit of your license), and the app version. It never includes your spreadsheets, file names or any cell contents. If our server cannot be reached - for example while you are offline - the app simply keeps working.

Nothing else

That is the complete list. On the free tier, before a license key is ever entered, the app makes no network requests at all - the free conversions are counted on your device. There is no update check (updates come through the Microsoft Store), no usage ping, no analytics, no advertising and no automatic error reporting. The Help, Documentation, Support and Changelog buttons simply open pythonandvba.com pages in your normal web browser.

5. Microsoft Store

Excel2JSON is installed from the Microsoft Store, so installation and updates are handled by Microsoft, which may process install and usage statistics under its own privacy statement; we only see the aggregated numbers Microsoft shows to app publishers, never anything about you personally.

6. Purchases

Licenses are purchased on pythonandvba.com, not inside the app. Payment and billing information is processed by Pabbly Subscription Billing, Stripe and/or PayPal; we receive your email address and the product purchased in order to deliver your license key. We do not store your payment card details. Please see the Pabbly, Stripe and PayPal privacy policies for details.

7. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process the data described above under these legal bases:

• Contract performance: validating your license and delivering the product you bought
• Legitimate interests: enforcing the per-device license limit and answering the support messages you send
• Legal obligation: keeping transaction records where the law requires it

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data. The only third parties involved are the payment processors named above (for purchases) and our hosting providers, which store license records on our behalf. Nobody else receives your data, and your spreadsheets cannot be shared with anyone because they never reach us in the first place.

9. Data Retention

• License and activation records: kept for as long as your license is active and as required by law
• Support messages: deleted once your enquiry is resolved
• Everything on your PC: under your control alone; the app never deletes your files or data without you asking

10. Your Rights

If you are in the EEA or the UK, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you (which is limited to license, purchase and support records), and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Contact contact@pythonandvba.com and you will receive a response within 30 days. These requests are honoured for customers everywhere, not only where the law requires it.

11. Data Security

All communication between the app and our servers uses encrypted connections. On your PC, your spreadsheets, settings and license are protected by your Windows user account like your other files.

12. Children's Privacy

Excel2JSON is a productivity tool and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest change. Material changes will be visible here before they take effect.
