Any text, numbers, images, files, or other content you input into these tools is only processed temporarily in your device's memory and will not be uploaded to the Site's servers, nor will it be recorded, stored, or forwarded to any third party by the Site in any form. 2.2 Information we may collect automatically To improve site performance, user experience, and abuse prevention, the Site may automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit, including but not limited to: (1) Device information: browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, language preference, time zone, device model, etc.; (2) Network information: IP address (anonymized or hashed), Internet service provider, network access type; (3) Access information: access time, page browsing paths, time spent on pages, referral source, click behavior, etc. Such information is used for site operation analytics, troubleshooting, and security monitoring and is not directly linked to your real identity. 2.3 Information you voluntarily provide When you submit a form through the "Contact Us" page or contact us by email, you may voluntarily provide information such as your name, email address, and message content.

Cookies and Similar Technologies 3.1 What is a cookie A cookie is a small data file sent by a website server to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive or memory. The Site uses cookies and similar technologies (such as LocalStorage, SessionStorage, Web Beacons, pixel tags, etc.) to improve site functionality, enhance the user experience, compile visit statistics, and serve relevant advertisements. 3.2 Categories and purposes of cookies (1) Strictly necessary cookies: used to maintain basic site functionality, such as saving your language preference, light/dark mode, and session state. Disabling these cookies may prevent the site from functioning properly; (2) Performance and statistics cookies: used to understand how users use the Site, such as counting page visits, identifying popular tools, and monitoring loading performance. We use third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics, and the information collected is used to improve the product; (3) Advertising and personalization cookies: used to show you ads that are more relevant to you, limit ad frequency, and measure ad effectiveness. The Site integrates Google AdSense advertising services, and Google uses cookies to serve personalized ads based on your previous visits to this Site and other sites. 3.3 Managing or refusing cookies Most browsers allow you to manage, disable, or delete cookies. Please refer to the "Help" or "Preferences" menu of your browser for specific instructions. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the normal use of some site features — for example, your language preference may not be saved, and ads will be non-personalized. To opt out of Google personalized ads, please visit the Google Ads Settings page at https://www.google.com/settings/ads or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page at https://www.aboutads.info/choices . IV. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising 4.1 The Site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its third-party partners use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect non-personally identifiable information (such as pages visited, time spent, referral sources) to serve personalized ads based on your interests. Google does not associate your IP address with other data it holds for identification purposes. 4.2 The purposes for which Google collects information include but are not limited to: ad delivery, ad effectiveness analysis, frequency capping, and fraud prevention. You can visit the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) to learn about Google's detailed data processing practices. 4.3 Third-party ad networks: In addition to Google, the Site may integrate other ad networks or programmatic advertising platforms in the future. These third parties may also use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads. You can learn about their data processing practices and exercise opt-out rights in their respective privacy policies. V. Google Analytics and Data Analytics The Site uses Google Analytics for visitor data collection and analysis. Google Analytics uses cookies to record your browsing behavior (such as pages visited, time spent, referral source, browser type, etc.) and sends this information to Google's servers. We use this data to understand overall site usage, identify access trends, and optimize content and features. It is not used to identify individuals. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your browsing data by installing the Google-provided browser opt-out plugin at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout . VI. How We Use Collected Information Non-personally identifiable information we collect may be used for the following purposes: (1) Operating, maintaining, and improving the Site's functionality and performance; (2) Monitoring site security and preventing abuse, fraud, and illegal activities; (3) Compiling site visit statistics, analyzing user preferences and access trends, and optimizing product planning; (4) Displaying, evaluating, and optimizing ad effectiveness; (5) Responding to user inquiries, suggestions, or complaints; (6) Complying with laws, regulations, judicial orders, or administrative directives, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the Site and its users. VII. Information Sharing, Transfer, and Disclosure 7.1 We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share certain non-personally identifiable information with third parties in the following circumstances: (1) With the Site's service providers (such as CDNs, hosting, data analytics, and advertising platforms) sharing data necessary to provide services; (2) In response to legal requirements, court orders, or administrative investigations, disclosing necessary information through legal procedures; (3) To protect the personal and property safety of the Site, users, or the public, and to prevent fraud or abuse; (4) In the event of business mergers, acquisitions, or bankruptcy liquidation, disclosing to the transferee in accordance with the law and notifying you of relevant changes. 7.2 All third-party collaborations are subject to confidentiality agreements requiring the other party to process data only according to the Site's instructions, for specific purposes, within the minimum necessary scope, and with equivalent security safeguards. VIII. Cross-Border Data Transfers Because the Site uses a globally distributed CDN and third-party cloud services (such as Vercel and Google), your non-personally identifiable information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your country or region. Privacy laws in those regions may differ from those where you are located, but we will ensure, through contractual, technical, or organizational measures, that cross-border data receives the same level of protection as it would within the Site's home jurisdiction. IX. Data Security and Retention 9.1 We adopt industry-standard technical and management measures to protect the information under our control, including HTTPS-encrypted transmission, access controls, log audits, and employee confidentiality obligations, to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse of data. 9.2 Since the vast majority of the Site's tools run locally in your browser, the content you input into these tools (text, images, files, etc.) does not pass through the Site's servers and is not saved by the Site. Messages and email addresses submitted through the "Contact Us" form are used only to handle inquiries and are deleted within a reasonable period after processing. 9.3 Although we have taken reasonable measures to protect data security, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be 100% secure, and we therefore cannot guarantee absolute security. If you discover or suspect any security issue, please contact us immediately. X. Children's Privacy The Site's services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us via the contact information at the bottom of this page, and we will delete the relevant information after verification.
