1. What we collect

We try to keep data collection minimal.

• Donations: If you donate through a third-party processor, we may receive basic details such as your name, email address, and donation amount.
• Tool files and app data: Our browser tools are designed to process your files locally. We do not intentionally upload or store those files unless a tool clearly says otherwise.
• Embedded media: If you use Spotify, YouTube, Tidal, or similar embeds, those services may collect data under their own privacy policies.

2. What we do not collect

We do not run site analytics, ad trackers, or behavioral profiling on these sites. We also do not store your payment card details.

3. How we use information

Any limited information we receive is used only to:

• Process or acknowledge donations
• Handle basic bookkeeping, fraud prevention, or legal compliance
• Operate and secure the sites

4. Data retention

Donation-related records are kept only as long as needed for accounting, tax, or legal reasons. We do not retain your local tool files or browser-based session data.

5. Security

We use HTTPS and rely on established third-party processors where needed, but no system is perfectly secure. Use the sites and tools with that understanding.

6. Children

Our sites are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

7. Third-party services

• PayPal
• Ko-fi
• Spotify, YouTube, and Tidal apply their own privacy policies when you use their players or embeds.

8. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date on this page shows the current version.
