15. Summary
In plain language: This website is designed to respect your privacy. We don't use cookies, analytics, or any tracking. The only data collected is minimal server logs kept by GitHub (our hosting provider) and standard web browser requests to third-party image hosts. If you email us, we'll only use your email to respond to you.
This privacy policy exists to be transparent and comprehensive about the minimal data that may be collected as a natural part of how websites work, not because we're actively tracking you.
