Privacy

Last updated: 9 November 2026

Mohamed Ghaith, Cairo, Egypt ("we") is responsible for the personal data described here. Contact: support@gbimaddin.com. We collect only what we need to sell, licence and support GBIM.

1. Licence activation and checks

When you activate, re-check or release a licence, the add-in sends to our licensing provider, Freemius: your licence key; a computer identifier (a one-way SHA-256 hash of the Windows machine ID and the computer name, from which neither can be read back); and an activation label made of the computer name and your Windows user name, so that you and your company can tell your activations apart in the customer account. The provider's server also sees your IP address. This is needed to perform the licence (contract). Your models, project files, file paths and results are never sent.

2. Stored on your computer

The licence status and trial start date are kept on your computer, in %APPDATA%\GBIM\licence and the Windows registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GBIM. Settings, rules, logs and reports also stay on your computer. The trial itself needs no connection and sends nothing.

3. Purchases and trials started on the website

Orders and website trial sign-ups are handled by Freemius, Inc., our reseller and merchant of record. Freemius collects your name, email, company, country and payment details under its own privacy policy; card details are handled by its payment processors and are never shared with us. We receive your name, email, company, country, what you bought, your licence and your invoices, to provide the licence, support and renewals (contract) and to keep records required by tax law (legal obligation).

4. Support email

If you write to support@gbimaddin.com, we receive your email address and what you send. Mail to that address is forwarded by Cloudflare to a Google mailbox. We use it only to answer you (legitimate interest) and delete it when it is no longer needed.

5. This website

The website is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes your IP address and request details to deliver and protect the site. It uses no cookies, no analytics and no advertising trackers, and the fonts are served from this website. The Buy and Start trial buttons take you to Freemius.

6. Who receives data

Freemius, Inc. (licensing, checkout, invoices), Cloudflare, Inc. (website hosting and email forwarding) and Google (support mailbox). They may process data outside your country, including in the United States, under their own safeguards. We do not sell personal data or use it for advertising.

7. How long we keep it

Licence and order records: for as long as your licence exists and then as long as tax and accounting law requires. Support emails: as long as needed to deal with your request.

8. Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, its correction or deletion, a restriction of its use, or object to it, by writing to support@gbimaddin.com; we answer within one month. You can release an activation yourself in the Licence window. You may also complain to the data protection authority where you live (in Egypt, the Personal Data Protection Centre; in the EU or UK, your national supervisory authority).

9. Changes

We will update this notice if what we collect changes. The date at the top shows the current version.
