Plain-English Summary: We do not sell your personal data. The only data we collect is what is necessary to operate and improve the Apps. Designs you create are stored locally in your own browser unless you explicitly choose to save them to a cloud service. We use Google AdSense for advertising.
1Information We Collect
Information you provide: If you contact us, we may collect your name and email address to respond to your inquiry. We do not require account creation to use any App.
Automatically collected data: Standard web server logs may record your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring page, and date/time of access. This data is used only for site security and analytics.
Locally stored data: Apps like the Solar Designer Tool store your project data (designs, component configurations) in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export or share it.
