TallTiles is a window manager for Windows 11, made by Response Kft. in Hungary. This page says what the current version of TallTiles does with your information. In short: it works on your PC. It sends anonymous usage stats once a day (in the beta that is part of testing; in the public version only if you turn them on), and a problem report only when you send it yourself. The titles and contents of your windows never leave your PC.

What TallTiles sends: usage stats, once a day

TallTiles has no account and no ads. The only thing it sends by itself is a short usage summary, at most once a day, to our Microsoft Azure Application Insights service in Western Europe. It holds:

• your settings: the switches, choices, numbers, colors and shortcuts you picked. For lists of apps (such as the apps you never tile), only how many there are, never their names;
• counts of what you did since the last summary: for example how many windows you tiled, how often you scrolled, pinned, resized or opened the overview, and how many times you circled the tile menu;
• your setup: the TallTiles version, your Windows version and language, x64 or Arm, how many screens you have and the main one's resolution, scale and refresh rate (rounded to common values), and roughly how long ago you installed TallTiles;
• a random ID made on your PC, so that one PC's summaries can be counted together. It isn't tied to you, your Microsoft account or your PC's name. Settings › About › New ID replaces it and starts the stats afresh.

It never sends window titles, what's in your windows, app or file names, or your PC's or your user name. Our service works out the country from your internet address and then throws the address away; we don't keep the city or region.

Settings › About › See what's sent shows the next summary exactly as it will go out.

In the beta, sharing these stats is part of testing TallTiles: the beta you joined includes it, and TallTiles tells you on first start. If you don't want to share them, please leave the beta by uninstalling TallTiles. In the public version they're off until you turn them on, and you can turn them off at any time in Settings › About.

We use the stats only to see which settings people prefer and how TallTiles is used, to decide what to improve, and for fun totals such as "50,000 windows tiled", which we may publish. They're seen only by the people working on TallTiles at Response Kft., never sold, and never used for marketing or ads. We keep each summary for up to 2 years. To have yours deleted, write to info@response.hu with the Stats ID shown in Settings › About.

What it keeps on your PC

• Your settings, and your usage counts with their lifetime totals (shown in Settings › About › Your stats).
• Which windows are in the strip, and their titles, so it can put them back after a restart.
• A log of what it did, for fixing problems. It includes app names and window titles, which can show things like document names. Only the current and the previous run are kept.
• Pictures of your windows for the overview. They stay in memory and are never saved or sent.

These files stay in TallTiles' own folders in your Windows user profile. Uninstalling TallTiles removes them, and you can delete them at any time.

When you report a problem

TallTiles has a Report a problem window. Nothing happens until you press Save and email. Then TallTiles:

1. saves a zip file in your Downloads folder with your note, some system information (your Windows version, the TallTiles version and your screens), your settings file and the recent logs. Every window title is removed first (app names are kept), and so are your user name, your PC's name and your user folder's path;
2. opens a new email to info@response.hu in your own mail app.

Nothing reaches us unless you send that email yourself. You can open the zip and see everything in it first. The zip stays in your Downloads folder until you delete it.

What we do with reports

We use your report, and the email it comes with, only to find and fix the problem and to reply to you. Only the people working on TallTiles at Response Kft. see it. We never share or sell it, and never use it for marketing.

We keep a report only as long as we need it, and delete it within 12 months at the latest. Write to info@response.hu and we'll delete yours sooner.

The Microsoft Store

You get TallTiles through the Microsoft Store. Microsoft installs and updates it, and may collect information such as crash and diagnostic data through Windows and the Store. That is Microsoft's own processing, covered by the Microsoft Privacy Statement, not by this page. Microsoft shows us summary figures, such as the number of installs, and crash reports; we use them only to improve TallTiles.

This page

privacy.talltiles.com is hosted on Microsoft Azure in Western Europe. It sets no cookies and has no analytics, ads or trackers. Like any website, the server sees your IP address and browser details in order to send you the page; we don't use them to identify you.

Your rights

Response Kft. is the controller of the usage stats and of the reports you send us (under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR). We handle a report because you sent it to us to get a problem fixed, and because we have a legitimate interest in fixing TallTiles (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). In the beta, we handle usage stats because they're part of the beta you joined (Article 6(1)(b)); in the public version, because you turned them on (your consent, Article 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time with the same switch.

You can ask us to see, correct or delete what you sent us or what your stats ID sent, to limit how we use it, or object to our using it. Write to info@response.hu; we'll answer within a month.

If you think we've handled your information wrongly, please tell us first. You can also complain to the Hungarian data protection authority, the Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság (NAIH), or to the authority in your own EU country.

Changes

This page describes the current version of TallTiles. If a later version handles information differently, we'll update this page and its date before that version ships.
