Effective Date: 2026-01-24
1. Information We Collect

We process files or images that you upload (for example, photos or scans containing cursive handwriting) in order to provide handwriting recognition and text conversion services.
- Free users: Uploaded content is processed automatically and deleted after processing.

We do not use uploaded content for training or any purpose other than providing the Service.
1.2 Usage Information
We may collect limited, non-identifying usage information (such as page visits or basic interaction data) to help improve the Service. This data does not identify you personally.
We do not collect sensitive personal information unless you voluntarily provide it (for example, by contacting us via email).
2. How We Use Information
We use collected information only to:
- Provide and operate the Service
- Process uploaded content and generate text outputs
- Allow upgraded users to access their own stored content and results
- Improve performance, reliability, and user experience

We do not sell or rent your personal data.

- Upgraded users may delete their stored content at any time.
We may adjust retention periods as needed, but stored data is accessible only to the corresponding user.
4. Third-Party Services
We may rely on third-party infrastructure or processing services to operate the Service (for example, hosting, storage, analytics, or handwriting recognition processing). These providers are used solely to deliver functionality and are required to handle data securely.
5. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect data during processing and storage. However, no online service can guarantee absolute security.
