Privacy Policy

Data We Collect

When you use XChanger's Installer and Software, we may collect and process the following types of data:

Non-Personal Data

This refers to aggregated, anonymized, or otherwise non-identifiable data. Examples include technical details automatically transmitted from your device such as operating system configurations, language preferences, and general system performance indicators.

Personal Data

Personal Data refers to information that can directly or indirectly identify you—such as IP addresses or online identifiers. Any Personal Data collected by XChanger is processed in accordance with GDPR principles, including:

• Processing identifiers necessary for functionality and service operation.
• Handling contact information provided when you reach out for support or inquiries.
• Obtaining explicit user consent where required by law before processing certain data types.

What Data Will Be Collected

XChanger and its service partners will collect online identifiers (e.g., IP addresses) when you interact with the website, Installer or Software. These are used for maintaining proper operation and may also be used for advertising purposes.

Additional technical data such as timestamps, device specifications, language and region settings, and referring URLs may be collected to improve service reliability and performance.

We may also collect search-related data, including search terms you submit through your default search engine. This data is shared with the respective search provider to return relevant search results. We may further analyze it to verify user authenticity (for example, distinguishing between humans and bots). This data is later being anonymized and retained in aggregated form.

Under GDPR, XChanger processes your Personal Data on the following legal grounds:

• Legitimate Interests – To ensure the stability, functionality, and security of our services.
• Contractual Necessity – To process search queries and deliver results as part of our core functionality.
• User Consent – For any activity requiring explicit permission under data protection laws.
