Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Code Shield ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services.

2. Information We Don't Collect

At Code Shield, we believe in minimal data collection. Unlike many web services, we do not collect:

• Personal identification information (names, addresses, phone numbers)
• Usage analytics or tracking data
• Cookies for advertising or analytics purposes
• Your source code or obfuscated code
• IP addresses or location data
• Browser fingerprints or device information

3. Client-Side Processing

All code obfuscation and processing happens entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. Your code never leaves your device or gets transmitted to our servers. This ensures that:

• Your intellectual property remains completely private
• No code is stored on our servers
• No data transmission occurs during processing
• You have full control over your code at all times

4. Contact Information

If you choose to contact us through our contact form or email, we may collect basic information necessary to respond to your inquiry:

• Name and email address (provided voluntarily)
• Message content and subject
• Date and time of communication

This information is used solely for responding to your inquiries and is not stored permanently or used for any other purposes.

5. Third-Party Services

Our website uses third-party services for functionality:

• Tailwind CSS: CDN-hosted CSS framework for styling
• jQuery: JavaScript library for enhanced interactivity
• Font Awesome: Icon library for visual elements
• Web APIs: Browser clipboard API for copy functionality

These services may have their own privacy policies, but we do not control or have access to any data they might collect.

6. Data Security

Since all processing happens client-side in your browser, there are no traditional server-side security concerns. However, we implement several security measures:

• All communications use HTTPS encryption
• Content Security Policy (CSP) headers are implemented
• No external tracking or analytics scripts
• Regular security audits of our codebase

7. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for 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. 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. Changes are effective immediately upon posting.
