1. Information We Collect

Information We Do NOT Collect

Information Automatically Collected

Like most websites, our hosting provider (GitHub Pages) may automatically log:

• IP addresses (anonymized in analytics)
• Browser type and operating system
• Pages visited and time spent
• Referring website URL

This data is used solely for understanding general traffic patterns and is not linked to individual identities.

Local Storage

The Website uses your browser's local storage to remember preferences (such as dark mode). This data:

• Never leaves your device
• Is not transmitted to any server
• Can be cleared at any time through your browser settings

2. Cookies

BindiTails™ does not set first-party cookies. Third-party services embedded on the site (such as visitor counters or embedded maps) may set their own cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

3. Third-Party Services

The Website uses the following third-party services:

• GitHub Pages — Website hosting (see GitHub's Privacy Policy)
• OpenStreetMap — Map tiles (see OSM Privacy Policy)
• Google Fonts — Typography (see Google's Privacy Policy)
• PayPal — Optional donations only (see PayPal's Privacy Policy)

We do not control these services' data practices. Please review their respective privacy policies.

4. Children's Privacy

BindiTails™ is a general-audience website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we collect no personal information from anyone, this is not a concern for our Website.

5. Data Security

The Website is served over HTTPS (encrypted connection). Since we do not collect or store personal data, there is no user database to breach. Your browsing is between you and your ISP.

6. Your Rights

Since we collect no personal information:

• There is no data to request, correct, or delete
• There is no account to close
• You can clear local storage via your browser settings at any time

California residents (CCPA), EU residents (GDPR), and Texas residents have the right to know what data is collected — and in our case, the answer is: effectively none.
