This Privacy Policy describes how PsExec (psexec.net) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. PsExec is a software download and information resource focused on the PsExec remote administration utility developed by Microsoft Sysinternals.

We take your privacy seriously. This policy is written in plain language so you can understand exactly what happens with your data when you browse our site. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Information You Voluntarily Provide

We only collect personal information that you choose to give us. The sole way you might share personal data with us is through our contact form, which asks for:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Your message

There is no user registration, no account creation, and no payment processing on this website. We do not operate a newsletter or mailing list.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit psexec.net, certain technical information is recorded automatically by our servers and third-party services:

  • IP address — logged by our web server and Cloudflare CDN
  • Browser type and version — e.g., Chrome 122, Firefox 124
  • Operating system — e.g., Windows 11, macOS Sonoma
  • Referring URL — the page that linked you to our site

  • Device type — desktop, mobile, or tablet
  • Approximate location — country and region level, derived from your IP address

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies for several purposes. Here is a breakdown of each type:

Essential Cookies

WordPress sets functional cookies that keep the site running properly. These are required for basic operations and cannot be disabled without breaking site functionality.

Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4)

We may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our site. GA4 collects data such as pageviews, session duration, traffic sources, and aggregated demographic information. GA4 does not collect personally identifiable information. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

We may display advertisements through Google AdSense. AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your browsing history across websites. Third-party vendors, including Google, use these cookies to show ads relevant to your interests. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ad Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info.

Cloudflare Cookies

Cloudflare, our CDN and security provider, may set cookies such as __cf_bm and __cflb. These cookies help distinguish human visitors from bots and manage load balancing. They are classified as strictly necessary for site security.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To operate and maintain the psexec.net website
  • To analyze visitor traffic and improve our content using analytics data
  • To serve relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
  • To respond to messages sent through our contact form
  • To detect and prevent security threats through Cloudflare

We do not use your data for any purpose beyond what is listed above.

Third-Party Services

PsExec uses several third-party services that may process visitor data. Each service operates under its own privacy policy:

Google Analytics 4 Web analytics service by Google LLC. Privacy Policy
Google AdSense Display advertising service by Google LLC. Privacy Policy
Cloudflare CDN and security service by Cloudflare, Inc. Privacy Policy
WordPress Self-hosted open-source CMS. No data is sent to WordPress.org. Privacy Policy

We do not control how these third-party services handle your data. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

  • We do not sell your personal data to anyone.
  • We do not share your data with third parties beyond the services described above (Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Cloudflare).
  • We may disclose data if required by law, court order, or legal process.
  • Aggregated, anonymized data (which cannot identify you) may be used internally to improve the site.

Data Retention

  • Server logs: Retained for up to 30 days, then automatically purged.
  • Analytics data: Retained per Google Analytics default settings (14 months).
  • Contact form submissions: Kept until the inquiry is resolved, then deleted.
  • Cookies: Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire based on their individual settings, typically within 30 days to 2 years.

Your Rights and Choices

You have several options for controlling how your data is handled:

For EU/EEA Residents (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation. These include the right to access, rectify, erase, port, and object to the processing of your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please reach out through our Contact page.

For California Residents (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act grants you the right to know what personal information we collect, request its deletion, opt out of its sale (we do not sell personal data), and receive equal service regardless of exercising your privacy rights.

Children’s Privacy

PsExec is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will delete that information promptly. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us through our Contact page.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect the information collected through our website:

  • All connections to psexec.net are encrypted with HTTPS/SSL.
  • Cloudflare provides DDoS protection and a Web Application Firewall (WAF).
  • Server access is restricted to authorized personnel only.

While we work to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of any information you transmit to us.

International Data Transfers

Our servers and third-party services may process data in countries outside your own, including the United States. By using psexec.net, you consent to the transfer of your information to these locations. Where applicable, we rely on standard contractual clauses and other legally recognized safeguards to protect transferred data.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of psexec.net after changes are published means you accept the updated policy.
