How Display Dimmer handles data

Website

This website is operated by Vantari Works and hosted on Cloudflare Pages. It does not use cookies, analytics, or advertising trackers.

If you contact Display Dimmer support by email, your message and email address are used only to respond and provide support. Vantari Works does not sell support emails or use them for advertising.

Display Dimmer app

Display Dimmer is distributed through the Microsoft Store. The app stores its settings locally on your device, including brightness levels, schedule rules, app rules, themes, and feature preferences.

To provide its features, the app reads technical information about your system and displays, such as connected monitors, display capabilities like DDC/CI support, and basic Windows and graphics information. This information is used by the app to function and is not used to build a browsing or activity profile.

Anonymous usage and reliability telemetry

Display Dimmer sends a small amount of anonymous usage and reliability telemetry to help Vantari Works understand how the app is used and improve stability. This telemetry is event-based and may include:

• When the app starts, such as whether it is a new install or returning session, plus the app version.
• Which settings areas are used, such as Schedules, App Rules, or Pro.
• When certain features are enabled, such as schedules, per-app rules, Gamma Guard, start with Windows, or DDC/CI brightness control.
• Whether crash or hang detectors were triggered.

The telemetry payload does not include your name, email address, Microsoft account identifier, payment information, personal documents, screenshots, browser history, full hardware IDs, or a persistent user/device identifier. It is used in aggregate to understand product usage and identify reliability issues.

Optional diagnostics reports

Display Dimmer may offer to send a diagnostics report after a crash, hang, or serious reliability issue. Diagnostics reports are optional and are only sent if you choose to send them.

A diagnostics report may include technical information such as:

• Windows version and app version.
• Basic hardware details, such as CPU and GPU model.
• Monitor information, such as model names, connection type, and DDC/CI status.
• Recent Display Dimmer logs, error messages, and timing information related to brightness control.

Diagnostics reports are designed to exclude personal files, screenshots, browser history, passwords, usernames, machine names, and personal file paths. Some device and runtime details may still be included because they are needed to investigate compatibility issues.

Diagnostics data is used only to investigate bugs, understand compatibility issues, and improve Display Dimmer. It is not sold to third parties or used for advertising.

Microsoft Store data

Display Dimmer is distributed through the Microsoft Store. Depending on Microsoft account and Windows privacy settings, Microsoft may provide Vantari Works with aggregated statistics such as install counts, device and OS versions, regions, and app usage summaries. This data does not include the content of support emails, diagnostics reports, or payment card details.

Purchases and payment information for Display Dimmer and any future add-ons are handled directly by Microsoft. Vantari Works does not receive your full payment card details.
