Privacy. In plain language.

Last updated October 8, 2026.

This website

This site sets no advertising or analytics cookies and loads no third-party scripts, fonts or trackers. A session cookie protects the contact form. A separate secure account cookie supports shared sign-in across hameltonsoftware.com and its participating subdomains. A theme preference (light or dark) is stored in your browser.

Contact form

If you send a message, we receive your name, email address, chosen topic, selected software products and message in our company mailbox so we can respond to your inquiry. The website does not maintain a separate contact-message database or message log. Your email and our reply may remain in the mailbox as part of our correspondence.

Accounts and software licenses

If you register, we store your name, email address, a password hash, email verification status and account creation date. We do not store your password in readable form. Verification and password reset links expire and can be used only once.

Sign-in sessions are shared by the main website and participating subdomains of hameltonsoftware.com. This does not sign you in to separate domains such as getwayfarer.org or sillbrowser.com. Signing out everywhere or resetting your password ends your other account sessions.

License records include the product, edition, device limit, expiry when applicable and associated account. Complete license keys are not stored in readable form. Activation records include a hash of an application-generated installation identifier, a device name and activation timestamps. Do not use a private or identifying device name if you prefer not to share it.

Account and licensing data is retained to provide your account and entitlements. Security records include account actions and hashed identifiers used to limit abuse. To request account deletion or ask about your records, contact hello@hameltonsoftware.com; deleting an account can affect access to its licenses. This portal does not currently collect payments or payment card details.

Hosting and external links

Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs, including request addresses, IP addresses and timestamps, for website operation and security. Links to product sites and account services take you to those sites, where their own privacy information applies.

Our products

Sill Browser has no account service and no analytics, and keeps stored passwords and profiles in a local encrypted vault on your computer. Wayfarer accounts are optional and are used for sync. Each product site describes its own data handling in more detail.
