and QueuePeek

DS Tech Works is a one-person studio in the United Kingdom. We collect as little data as we can get away with, never share it, and never sell it. This page spells out the specifics.

Summary

The short version, in plain English:

  • This website uses Google Analytics to measure aggregate traffic, such as page views and referrers. It doesn't use ad networks or advertising tracking pixels.
  • Google Analytics sets first-party cookies to count visits. We don't use cookies for advertising, and you can block them with any tracking blocker without breaking the site.
  • The contact form sends your name, email address, and message to infobox@dstechworks.com. That's it.
  • The QueuePeek desktop app sends no telemetry. The only network traffic it generates is to the message brokers you explicitly connect to.
  • Your connection strings and credentials are stored in your operating system's secure credential store, never on our servers.

Website

This website is hosted with a standard static-site host. Like any web server, the host produces request logs containing your IP address, user-agent, and the URL you fetched. These logs are retained for at most 30 days for the purpose of diagnosing operational issues and abuse detection, then deleted.

This website uses Google Analytics 4 (gtag.js) to measure aggregate traffic — page views, referrers, and the approximate geographic region derived from your IP address. We use it only to understand how the site is used; we do not use it for advertising or remarketing, we do not run ad networks, and we do not sell or share this data. You can opt out with any tracking blocker or browser Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control setting without affecting how the site works. We also load Google Fonts from fonts.googleapis.com, which is the standard delivery URL; if you would prefer self-hosted fonts, let us know and we'll add a no-Google-fonts build.

Contact form

The form on the support page collects your name, email address, and message. When you submit it, that data is delivered to infobox@dstechworks.com. We use this information solely to reply to you. We will not add you to a mailing list, share your email with third parties, or use it for marketing.

If you'd rather skip the form, you can email infobox@dstechworks.com directly — same inbox.

QueuePeek desktop app

QueuePeek is a desktop application. It runs entirely on your machine and does not connect to any DS Tech Works server. Specifically:

  • No analytics or telemetry. The app does not send usage data, crash reports, error traces, or anything else home.
  • No automatic update checks against our servers. The current build has no auto-updater; future versions, if added, will be opt-in and clearly disclosed.
  • Credentials stay local. Connection strings, access keys, and tokens are stored in your operating system's secure credential store (Windows Credential Manager, macOS Keychain, or libsecret on Linux). They are never written to plaintext files and never leave your machine.
  • Message contents stay local. Any messages you peek, export, or import are read directly from your message broker and stored in memory only. If you choose to export, the file is written to a location you select.
  • Purchases and licensing go through the stores. QueuePeek is distributed through the Microsoft Store and the Apple App Store. Your trial, purchase, and (on Apple) subscription are handled entirely by the relevant store; DS Tech Works never receives or stores your payment-card details. To confirm your trial or license status, the app uses your operating system's built-in store APIs, which may communicate with the Microsoft Store or App Store as part of normal operation. This involves no DS Tech Works server.

Apart from your operating system's normal communication with the Microsoft Store or App Store to validate your license, the only outbound network traffic QueuePeek generates is to the message broker endpoints you have explicitly connected to — for example, your-namespace.servicebus.windows.net or your AWS SQS endpoint.

Cookies

This website uses Google Analytics, which sets first-party cookies (for example _ga and _ga_<id>) to distinguish visitors and measure traffic. These cookies are not used for advertising or cross-site tracking. You can block them with a cookie or tracking blocker, or with browser Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control settings, without affecting how the site works. If we add any other cookies — for example, to remember a chosen theme — we'll list each one here with its name, purpose, and lifetime, and we won't use any cookie for advertising.

Data retention

  • Web server logs: up to 30 days, then deleted.
  • Emails received via the contact form: kept in the inbox until the conversation is resolved, then archived for at most 24 months in case you write back. You can ask for your data to be deleted at any time.
  • App data: stays on your machine until you remove the app or delete its data directory. We have no copy.

Your rights under UK GDPR

If you're in the UK or EU, you have rights over personal data we hold about you, including:

  • The right to access — ask what data we have on you.
  • The right to rectification — ask us to correct it.
  • The right to erasure — ask us to delete it.
  • The right to object — ask us to stop processing it.
  • The right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

To exercise any of these, email infobox@dstechworks.com. We'll respond within five working days.
