This Privacy Policy describes our policies on the collection
and use of your information when you use the app.
|
|
Personal information
On the first startup, EZ Notification Forwarder will check for the
"userNotificationListener" permission through standard Universal Windows
Platform API and ask for approval. If denied or ignored, no data at all will
be collected on your device. If approved, the app will start listening in
the background for Window notifications. The application reads textual
information from your Windows 10/11 notifications and forwards it immediately
to configured http-Server URLs. The app itself does not persist any
notification data to the file system as long as the "dump notification"
setting is deactivated. If you decide to turn on the "dump notification"
feature, then all notifications received from the Windows Notification Center
will be dumped into the downloads folder of the current user as
json files in clear text and human readable format. The json files
may contain sensitive information. Therefore, the "dump notification"
feature should be turned only in a safe environment.
All other notification information is held only in memory for the purpose
to filter out new notifications from already forwarded ones.
Other data persisted to the file system is limited to
the configuration settings. The configuration settings include the app's
specific settings. Users shall be aware, that the optionally entered
credentials for forwarding targets with basic authentication are stored
unencrypted as plain text along with other settings in the user profile.

Third parties
The app is not using any third party services. All data is stored locally
within user's profile or OneDrive roaming app data storage. It will never
be sent to neither the app developer nor any third party. Of course, the
purpose of this app is to forward the notification's textual content to
any configured destination http server. The user should be aware of the
security implications of any data transmitted over the network.
Thus, it's strongly advised to forward the notification data only to
http servers on the local network. When transmitting to http servers
over public internet network any transmitted data can potentially be
read and modified by means of "man in the middle attacks", even when
using secure protocols such as https.

|
Technical information
The EZ Notification Forwarder App forwards Windows Notifications ("Toasts")
from your Windows device to any http server through the RESTful API calls.
The app requires network access in order to forward the notifications.
It only connects and uploads data to the configured targets.
|
|
Statistical information
Since the app is listed in online Microsoft Store, a small set of
non-identifiable information can be sent to Microsoft for statistical
information about app usage, device type and capabilities.
