Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2025

At dessertio, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our productivity tools and services.

1. Information We Collect

🔒 Privacy First Approach

We believe in minimal data collection. Most of our tools work entirely in your browser using local storage, meaning your data never leaves your device.

1.1 Data Stored Locally

Our productivity tools store data locally in your browser using localStorage and sessionStorage. This includes:

  • To-do lists and task information
  • Notes and text documents
  • Timer settings and preferences
  • Color palettes and design choices
  • Unit conversion history
  • BMI calculation records
  • Generated passwords (if you choose to save them)
  • Application settings and preferences

1.2 Information We May Collect

We may collect limited information to improve our services:

  • Basic usage analytics (page views, tool usage frequency)
  • Technical information (browser type, device type, screen resolution)
  • Error logs and performance data
  • Feedback and contact form submissions

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Service Improvement: Understanding how our tools are used to make them better
  • Technical Support: Diagnosing and fixing technical issues
  • Communication: Responding to your inquiries and feedback
  • Security: Protecting against abuse and ensuring service reliability

We do not use your information for advertising, marketing to third parties, or any commercial purposes beyond providing and improving our free tools.

3. Data Storage and Security

3.1 Local Storage

Most of your data is stored locally in your browser and never transmitted to our servers. This includes all your personal content like notes, tasks, and preferences. Local storage means:

  • Your data stays on your device
  • We cannot access your personal content
  • Data persists between browser sessions
  • You have full control over your information

3.2 Security Measures

We implement appropriate security measures to protect any information we do collect:

  • HTTPS encryption for all communications
  • Secure server infrastructure
  • Regular security audits and updates
  • Limited access to any collected data

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies and tracking technologies:

4.1 Essential Cookies

We may use essential cookies that are necessary for our tools to function properly. These include session cookies and preference cookies.

4.2 Analytics

We may use privacy-focused analytics tools to understand how our tools are used. We do not use invasive tracking or advertising cookies.

4.3 Third-Party Services

Some of our tools may use third-party services (like QR code generation APIs). We choose services that respect privacy and do not share personal information unnecessarily.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have full control over your data and privacy:

  • Access: You can view all locally stored data through your browser's developer tools
  • Deletion: You can clear all local data by clearing your browser's storage
  • Portability: You can export your data from most of our tools
  • Opt-out: You can disable cookies and analytics through your browser settings

5.1 Managing Local Data

Since most data is stored locally, you have complete control:

  • Clear individual tool data using the tool's settings
  • Clear all data by clearing browser storage
  • Export data before switching devices
  • Use private/incognito browsing for temporary sessions

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. We may disclose information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Legal Requirements: When required by law or legal process
  • Safety: To protect the safety of our users or the public
  • Service Providers: To trusted service providers who assist in operating our website (under strict confidentiality agreements)

7. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information.

8. International Users

Our tools are designed to work globally. Since most data is stored locally on your device, international data transfer concerns are minimized. Any data we do collect is processed in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will:

  • Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy
  • Notify users of significant changes through our website
  • Maintain previous versions for reference

Your continued use of our tools after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
