9. PRIVACY POLICY
9.1 DATA COLLECTION: Halo Imagery CCR operates primarily as a local desktop application for photographic image processing. The Software may collect limited information including: (a) license activation data (email address, activation key, and unique instance identifier) for subscription verification; (b) technical diagnostic information such as operating system version, hardware specifications, and application performance metrics; (c) error logs and crash reports to improve RAW image processing algorithms; (d) usage statistics related to negative conversion, color correction, and batch processing features.

9.2 IMAGE DATA PRIVACY: Your photographic images and image metadata remain entirely on your local device. The Software does not upload, transmit, or store your images on external servers. All RAW file processing, negative conversion, color correction, thumbnail generation, and image exports are performed locally on your computer.

9.3 LICENSE VERIFICATION: The Software connects to Licensor's activation servers (activation.haloimagery.com) solely for license validation and activation purposes. This connection transmits only your email address, license key, and a unique device identifier. No image data or image processing information is transmitted during license verification.

9.4 USE OF COLLECTED DATA: Information collected by the Software is used exclusively for: (a) verifying subscription status and preventing unauthorized use; (b) improving RAW image processing algorithms and negative conversion accuracy; (c) providing technical support for photography-specific workflows; (d) communicating software updates related to camera support and image processing improvements.

9.5 DATA SHARING: Licensor does not sell, share, or disclose your photographic images or processing settings to any third parties. Technical diagnostic data may be shared with service providers who assist in software development under strict confidentiality agreements. Personal information may be disclosed only when required by law or to protect users' safety.

9.6 LOCAL STORAGE: The Software stores application preferences, color correction settings, batch processing configurations, and licensing information locally on your device using secure system keychain storage (macOS) or equivalent secure storage mechanisms (Windows). These settings are not synchronized across devices or transmitted to external servers.

9.7 NO TRACKING OR ANALYTICS: The Software does not use cookies, web tracking, behavioral analytics, or advertising technologies. No third-party analytics services monitor your image processing activities or photography workflows.

9.8 OFFLINE OPERATION: Halo Imagery CCR is designed to function completely offline for all core photography features including RAW processing, negative conversion, color correction, and image export. Internet connectivity is required only for initial license activation and periodic license validation.

10. REFUND POLICY
10.1 SUBSCRIPTION-BASED SERVICE: Halo Imagery CCR operates on a subscription-based licensing model. All subscription fees are charged in advance for the selected subscription period (monthly, annual, or other available terms).

10.2 NO REFUNDS FOR SUBSCRIPTION PERIODS: Due to the nature of software licensing and the immediate access provided upon subscription activation, all subscription payments are final and non-refundable. This includes partial refunds for unused portions of subscription periods.

10.3 SUBSCRIPTION ACCESS CONTINUATION: Upon subscription cancellation or non-renewal, your access to the Software will continue until the end of your current paid subscription period. No pro-rated refunds will be provided for early cancellation or non-use during the remaining subscription term.

10.4 TECHNICAL ISSUES: If you experience technical difficulties that prevent normal use of the Software, contact Licensor's support team for assistance. Licensor will make reasonable efforts to resolve technical issues, but such issues do not constitute grounds for refund of subscription fees.

10.5 BILLING DISPUTES: Any billing disputes must be reported to Licensor within thirty (30) days of the charge in question. Disputes reported after this period may not be considered for resolution.

10.6 AUTOMATIC RENEWAL: If your subscription includes automatic renewal, you may cancel future renewals at any time through your account settings or by contacting Licensor. Cancellation of automatic renewal does not entitle you to a refund of the current subscription period.

10.7 LICENSE VIOLATIONS: Subscriptions terminated due to violations of this Agreement, including but not limited to unauthorized use, license sharing, or reverse engineering, are not eligible for any refund consideration.

10.8 EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES: Licensor reserves the right to consider refund requests on a case-by-case basis in exceptional circumstances, such as duplicate charges or technical errors in billing. Such considerations are at Licensor's sole discretion and do not create an obligation for future similar considerations.
