Privacy Policy
Your privacy is our priority. This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how SKALDA handles information when you use our ecosystem of client-side creative tools.
We've built our tools with privacy at their core. They run in your browser, with minimal data collection, and no user accounts or tracking cookies.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy applies to all tools in the SKALDA ecosystem (including units.skalda.io, solveo.skalda.io, scribe.skalda.io, flint.skalda.io, clip.skalda.io, pixel.skalda.io, scout.skalda.io, dev.skalda.io, games.skalda.io, and shop.skalda.io).
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy will inform you about how we handle your data when you visit our websites or use our services, regardless of where you visit from, and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
Important Note: SKALDA tools operate primarily client-side in your browser. We do not require user accounts or logins, and we do not store your personal data on our servers.
2. Data We Collect
We are committed to minimizing data collection. Here's what we do and don't collect:
2.1 We DO NOT collect:
- Personal identification information (no accounts or logins)
- Files you upload or process with our tools (all processing happens client-side)
- Your browsing history within our sites
- Your IP address for tracking purposes
2.2 We MAY collect:
- Technical Data: Limited anonymous usage statistics through Google AdSense, such as browser type, general location (country level), and referring site
- Google reCAPTCHA Data: If you interact with forms protected by reCAPTCHA, Google may collect hardware and software information, such as device and application data and the results of integrity checks, to verify you are human
- Feedback Data: If you voluntarily provide feedback through our feedback form
3. How We Use Your Data
The limited data we collect is used for:
- Improving our services based on general usage patterns
- Responding to feedback and inquiries
- Preventing abuse of our services through reCAPTCHA
- Providing relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
4. Data Sharing and Third Parties
SKALDA works with a minimal set of third-party providers:
- Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on some of our tools. Google AdSense may use cookies to personalize ads based on your browsing behavior. Please refer to Google's privacy policy for details on how they process this information.
- Google reCAPTCHA: We use reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information and sends it to Google for analysis.
5. International Data Transfers
As our services process data client-side in your browser, data generally remains on your device. The limited data that may be sent to third parties (such as Google for AdSense or reCAPTCHA) may be processed outside your country.
Google, as our service provider, complies with legal frameworks for transferring data from the EU to the US and other countries.
6. Data Security
We have implemented appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way. These include:
- Client-side processing, which keeps your files and data on your device
- Secure HTTPS connections for all our websites
- Regular security assessments and updates
7. Data Retention
As SKALDA tools operate client-side and we do not collect personal data, we do not retain user data on our servers. Any data that might be temporarily stored in your browser is typically cleared when you close the browser tab or window.
8. Your Legal Rights
Under data protection laws, you have rights including:
- Access: You can request copies of your personal data.
- Rectification: You can request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
- Erasure: You can request that we erase your personal data.
- Restriction: You can request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
- Object: You can object to our processing of your personal data.
- Data Portability: You can request the transfer of your personal data to you or a third party.
While we respect these rights, please note that since SKALDA does not collect or store personal user data on our servers, many of these rights may not apply to your use of our services. However, you may exercise these rights with respect to the limited data processed by our third-party providers.
9. Children's Privacy
Our services are not specifically directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. As our services operate client-side and we do not collect personal information, children may use our tools without providing any personal data.
10. Cookies and Tracking
SKALDA tools use minimal cookies necessary for functionality. We do not use cookies for tracking or analytics purposes. The only cookies that may be set are those required by Google AdSense and reCAPTCHA. For more information, please see our separate Cookie Policy.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
