• Hosting Provider: Our Service is hosted on third-party infrastructure which may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, browser types, access times) as part of normal operations.

8. Data Security

Since we process all text locally in your browser and do not store your content on our servers, your reading material remains private. The text you paste never leaves your device. We use secure HTTPS connections to protect any communication between your browser and our servers. Cookie data is stored locally on your device.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Service is designed to be safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Since our Service does not require accounts or collect personal data, it can be used without privacy concerns for minors. The cookies we use only store reading preferences and anonymous usage data, not personal information.

• Use our Service without providing any personal information
• Accept or reject non-essential cookies (functional and analytics)
• Clear any locally stored preferences at any time through your browser settings
