  • Monitor site security and prevent abuse
  • Generate aggregate statistics about site usage

Ads/Monetization

We may show advertisements in the future (e.g., Google AdSense) to help support the free operation of our educational tool. If implemented, we will update this privacy policy accordingly and ensure compliance with applicable advertising privacy standards.

Data Retention & Security

Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' data retention policies. We implement reasonable technical and administrative safeguards to protect the information we collect, though no internet transmission is completely secure.
