1. Information We Do NOT Collect

We believe in minimal data collection. For the vast majority of our tools, we operate on a fundamental principle:

This information is used solely to create and manage your account, provide a personalized experience, and communicate with you. We do not store your password for these third-party services.

We use this data with analytics services (like Google Analytics) to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

c) Information You Voluntarily Provide

• Contact Information: If you contact us via email or a contact form, we may collect your name and email address to respond to you.
• File Uploads: Files you upload for processing are handled entirely in your browser and not stored on our servers.

• Remember your preferences (e.g., theme, language).
• Understand how you use our website.
