At Catch2, we value your privacy and are committed to safeguarding your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the data you provide when using our website, software, or related services.
Information We Collect
Catch2 is designed as a C++ unit testing framework that runs entirely on your local development environment. The Catch2 software itself does not collect, transmit, or store any user data.
However, when you visit our official website, we may collect limited, non-personal information to improve website performance and user experience, including:
- Basic browser and system information (e.g., device type, browser version, operating system)
- Anonymous analytics data, such as pages visited, duration of visit, and referral sources
- Voluntary information submitted through contact forms, feedback submissions, or email inquiries
We do not collect sensitive personal information such as passwords, financial details, or personal identifiers through either the Catch2 framework or the website.
How We Use the Information
Any data collected through the Catch2 website is used only for legitimate, limited purposes, such as:
- Improving website functionality and overall user experience
- Responding to questions, feedback, or support requests
- Analyzing general website usage trends to enhance usability
- Ensuring website security and preventing unauthorized access
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.
Data Security
We take reasonable and appropriate technical measures to protect any data collected through our website. These include encryption, secure server configurations, and limited administrative access.
While we strive to maintain strong security, please understand that no system or online transmission is completely immune from potential security risks.
