Tracking Technologies Policy

Effective Date: May 14, 2025

Last Updated: May 14, 2025

1. Introduction

At Excluded, operated by Blu Software LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”), we may use certain technologies to enhance your experience on our website, mobile application, and subscription services (collectively, the “Service”) at https://excluded.io. This Tracking Technologies Policy explains how we may use local storage and similar technologies, their purposes, and your choices regarding their use.

This policy is part of our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

2. What Are Tracking Technologies?

Tracking technologies are tools that store or access information on your device to enable functionality, improve performance, or analyze usage. We may use local storage, a web storage mechanism that stores data in your browser for the duration of your use of the Service or until you clear it.

Unlike cookies, local storage does not automatically send data to our servers with every request. We do not currently use traditional cookies but may rely on local storage or similar technologies to provide and improve the Service.

3. Types of Tracking Technologies We May Use

We may use the following types of local storage, including but not limited to:

  • Necessary Local Storage: Stores data essential for the Service’s core functionality, such as authentication tokens or session data to keep you logged in. These are required for the Service to operate and cannot be disabled.
  • Functionality Local Storage: Stores data to enhance your experience, such as language preferences or display settings. These are optional and can be managed through your browser or account settings.
  • Analytics Local Storage: Stores anonymized data about your interactions with the Service (e.g., pages visited, features used) to help us analyze usage and improve the Service. You can opt out of non-essential analytics storage as described below.

4. Purposes of Tracking Technologies

We may use local storage for purposes including, but not limited to:

  • Authenticating users and maintaining secure account access
  • Personalizing your experience through saved preferences
  • Analyzing Service usage to improve performance and features
  • Preventing fraudulent activities and ensuring system integrity

5. Third-Party Tracking Technologies

We may use third-party services that employ their own tracking technologies, such as:

  • Google Analytics: Collects anonymized data about Service usage. You can opt out via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. See their Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

These third parties may use cookies or other technologies, but our primary reliance is on local storage for data collection.

6. Your Choices

You can manage local storage through your browser or our Service:

  • Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to clear or block local storage. Disabling necessary local storage may prevent you from accessing parts of the Service.
  • Opting Out of Non-Essential Storage: If we use non-essential local storage (e.g., for analytics), you can opt out by adjusting preferences in our consent mechanism (if applicable) or contacting us. Instructions for opting out of Google Analytics are provided above.
  • Do Not Track (DNT): We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but you can manage local storage via browser settings.

To exercise your rights or learn more, contact us at support@excluded.io or through our Discord Support Server.

7. Consent for Non-Essential Tracking

If we use non-essential local storage (e.g., for analytics or preferences), we will request your consent through a consent banner or similar mechanism when you first visit the Service. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser’s local storage or contacting us. Necessary local storage, such as for login, does not require consent as it is essential for the Service’s operation.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Tracking Technologies Policy periodically. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page, updating the “Last Updated” date, and, for significant changes, by emailing you or posting a notice on our Service or messaging platforms (e.g., Discord). Please review this policy regularly.
