Privacy policy

Last updated 27 October 2026.

RiverThought Technologies ("we") makes software that runs on your own computer. We collect as little as possible. This policy covers the RiverProbe software, this website (riverthought.com) and purchases of licence keys.

RiverProbe, the software

  • RiverProbe runs only on your computer. Its local service listens on 127.0.0.1 and cannot be reached from other computers.
  • It sends nothing to us: no telemetry, no usage statistics, no crash reports, no account sign-in.
  • Your projects, recordings, screenshots, test data and generated code stay in your workspace folder (%LOCALAPPDATA%\RiverProbe and the folders you choose).
  • Secrets such as passwords are stored only where you put them: environment variables or Windows Credential Manager. They are never written into projects or generated code.
  • Licence keys are checked offline on your computer. RiverProbe never contacts us to activate or verify a key.
  • RiverProbe connects to the internet only when you ask it to: to open the web pages you record or scan, and, in generated test projects, to download packages from NuGet when you build them.

This website

  • We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not sell or share personal information.
  • The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as your IP address to deliver pages and protect against attacks. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
  • Downloads are served from downloads.riverthought.com, also on Cloudflare.

Buying a licence key

  • Payments are processed by Paddle.com, our reseller and Merchant of Record. Paddle collects your payment and billing details under Paddle's privacy policy; we never see your card number.
  • From Paddle we receive and keep: the name you put on the licence, your e-mail address, the order number, the date, and the licence key issued to you. We keep these so we can show your key again (recover my key), handle refunds and answer support requests.
  • Your name and e-mail address are written inside the licence key so that RiverProbe can show who it is licensed to. The key stays on your computer.

Support e-mails

When you write to us, we keep the conversation to help you and to improve the product. Please do not send passwords or other secrets; the diagnostics RiverProbe produces do not include them.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, by writing to support@riverthought.com. If we delete your purchase record, we can no longer recover your key for you, and records we must keep for tax purposes stay with Paddle.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update this page and the date above.
