CRY is built on a simple promise: your computer is yours. This policy is written by telling you what we don’t collect.
The short version. The CRY app has no telemetry and never connects to us. This website uses one privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics tool to count visits (no personal data, no cross-site tracking), sets no cookies, and runs no ads. We can’t sell data we never collect.
CRY (“we”, “us”) makes CRY Free Optimizer, a free Windows utility. We believe a tool that cleans up Windows tracking has no business adding its own. So the app is designed to function completely offline with zero telemetry, and this website keeps measurement to a single cookieless, non-personal analytics tool — no ads, no profiles, no cross-site tracking. Where most policies enumerate everything a company collects, this one mostly enumerates what we deliberately do not.
The CRY desktop application:
The only time CRY uses the network is when you explicitly ask it to — for example, the App Installer fetching an app you chose, or you checking this website for a new version. Those requests go to the relevant provider (e.g. a package source), not to us.
To make changes reversible, CRY keeps a local record. This data lives only on your machine, typically under %LOCALAPPDATA%\CryOptimizer, and is never uploaded:
You control this data. You can export it, or delete the folder to wipe it. Deleting it removes CRY’s ability to perform precise per-tweak undo for past changes (System Restore remains as a fallback).
The website uses one measurement tool: Vercel Web Analytics (and Speed Insights), provided by our hosting provider and served first-party from our own domain. It is cookieless and records only aggregate, non-personal data — page views, the referring site, rough country, device type, and page-load speed — so we can see what’s useful and what’s slow. It does not identify you, build a profile, follow you across other sites, or set cookies. Beyond that, the site does not do:
Like virtually every website, our hosting provider may automatically record standard technical request logs (such as IP address, timestamp, requested URL, referrer, and user-agent) for security, abuse prevention, and basic aggregate traffic counts. We do not use these logs to build profiles of individuals, and we do not combine them with any other data. They are retained only briefly (see Data retention).
This site sets no cookies and runs no third-party storage. If a future feature ever needs to remember a strictly-necessary preference, it will use your browser’s local storage on your device only — never a tracking cookie. Full detail lives in our Cookie & Tracking Notice.
The only personal data we ever receive is what you deliberately send — for example, if you email us a question or a security report. We use it solely to reply and to address what you raised. We never add you to a mailing list you didn’t ask for, and we don’t share your message.
For visitors in the European Economic Area and UK, our limited processing rests on: legitimate interests (keeping the site secure and operational via short-lived server logs), and consent / taking steps at your request (handling an email you chose to send). We do not process special-category data and we do not carry out automated decision-making or profiling.
We use the little data we have only to: serve the website, keep it secure and prevent abuse, understand aggregate traffic levels (counts, not people), and respond to messages you send us. That’s the complete list.
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data — full stop. The only third party in the picture is our hosting provider, which processes server requests on our behalf in order to deliver the site. We may disclose information if strictly required by valid law, but there is very little to disclose.
Server access logs are kept only as long as needed for security and abuse prevention, then deleted or anonymized (typically within a short rolling window). Emails you send are kept only as long as needed to resolve your request. The app’s local change log lives on your machine for as long as you keep it.
Depending on where you live (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and similar), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, to object, to data portability, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Because we hold almost no personal data, most requests are quick to honor. To make a request, email us at realwilari@gmail.com. We do not “sell” or “share” personal information as those terms are defined under U.S. state privacy laws.
CRY is a general-purpose system utility and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children under 13 (or the relevant age in your region).
The website may be served from infrastructure in various regions. By using it, you understand that the minimal technical request data described above may be processed in the country where our hosting provider operates. We rely on appropriate safeguards where required.
If we change this policy, we’ll update the “Last updated” date above and post the revised version here. Material changes will be highlighted on the site. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
