Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect
Non-Personal Data: This includes technical details such as browser type, operating system version, and approximate geographic location (determined from IP address). These details help us understand what devices and software configurations are used to access the site, enabling us to improve compatibility and user experience.
Log Data: Log files track website activity, including your interactions (e.g., time spent on pages, pages accessed) to identify trends or troubleshoot issues. This data is anonymized and not tied to individual users.

2. Use of Information
Functionality and Performance: Data collected helps us optimize server performance and ensure the website runs smoothly across all supported devices.
Trend Analysis: Aggregated data enables us to identify popular features, monitor traffic spikes, and prepare for scaling or updates. Security Enhancements: Monitoring for unusual activity, such as multiple failed access attempts, can help us preemptively address security concerns.

3. Cookies
Purpose: Cookies may remember settings (e.g., preferred language), track how users interact with the site, and enhance the website’s responsiveness.
Options for Users: You can delete cookies from your browser settings and control whether future cookies are stored. Detailed guides for cookie management in major browsers could be added as links.

4. Data Security
Protocols in Place: We employ HTTPS encryption for data transmission, firewall protection, and routine server audits to minimize vulnerabilities.
User Responsibility: While we secure data, users should avoid submitting sensitive data through our tools as a precaution, since Base64PI’s primary focus is lightweight encoding/decoding.

5. Third-Party Services
Examples: Tools like Google Analytics or other similar services may track aggregated statistics, such as page visits or user retention rates.
Privacy Compliance: We ensure that all third-party services follow GDPR, CCPA, or other relevant global data protection standards.

6. User-Provided Data
Data Handling: When users encode or decode strings, the content remains temporary and is cleared after processing. There’s no logging or sharing of the encoded/decoded content with our servers unless explicitly stated.
Local Processing: Where feasible, we process data entirely in the user’s browser to maintain confidentiality.

7. Children’s Privacy
Additional Safeguards: If we discover underage users attempting to use our service, we will not retain any of their information. Guardians are encouraged to contact us if they suspect misuse.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
Notification Process: Substantial updates to the policy will be accompanied by a notice on our homepage or via email (if you’re subscribed).
Review Period: Users are encouraged to periodically revisit the Privacy Policy to stay informed of their rights and any new compliance practices.

9. Contact Us
Support Availability: Users can reach out via email for any clarifications about data use or their rights under relevant privacy laws, such as GDPR or CCPA.
