Privacy Policy

Overview

DOT‑O‑MATIC ("we," "our," or "the service") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our web-based SVG stipple generator application.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you use DOT‑O‑MATIC, you may upload images for processing. All image processing occurs entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. We do not upload, store, or transmit your images to any server. Your images never leave your device.

Automatically Collected Information

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense may collect and use cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve personalized ads based on your browsing behavior and interests. This includes:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• IP address (anonymized)
• Pages visited and time spent on pages
• Referring website addresses

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Google AdSense uses cookies to:

• Display relevant advertisements
• Measure ad performance and effectiveness
• Prevent fraudulent activity
• Limit the number of times an ad is shown

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of advertisements and, in some cases, the service itself.

Third-Party Services

Our website uses Google AdSense, a service provided by Google LLC. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to our site and other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Google's privacy policy can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Data Security

Since all image processing occurs locally in your browser, your images are never transmitted to our servers and are not stored by us. We implement reasonable security measures to protect any automatically collected information, though no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

• The right to access your personal information
• The right to request deletion of your personal information
• The right to opt out of personalized advertising
• The right to data portability

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. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
