Information We Collect

Website Usage

Our website uses Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the site and to improve our services.

Google Analytics may collect information such as IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited. Where required by law, analytics cookies are only used after obtaining your consent.

Purchases and Licensing

When you purchase our software, we may receive information necessary to manage your license and provide support, including:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Order number
  • License information

Payments are processed by Paddle and other authorized resellers. Audioström does not receive or store your payment card details.

Software Activation and License Validation

LiveProfessor requires software activation and periodic license validation.

During activation and validation, the software may transmit:

  • Email address
  • Order number
  • Machine identifier
  • Operating system version

This information is used solely for software licensing, activation, fraud prevention, and license management.

Machine identifiers are stored as part of the licensing system and may be removed upon request, subject to licensing requirements.

Software Communication

LiveProfessor does not collect usage analytics, feature usage statistics, project contents, or telemetry about how the software is used.

The software may communicate with Audioström servers for:

  • License activation and validation
  • Downloading plugin thumbnail images

When a thumbnail image is not available, users may choose to contribute a generated thumbnail to the shared plugin thumbnail database.

Thumbnail contributions are entirely optional and are submitted anonymously. Only the image and the associated plugin identifier are transmitted. No personal information is included in these submissions.

Submitted images may be reviewed before being added to the public thumbnail database.
