We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date of this Privacy Policy. You are encouraged to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed of updates. You will be deemed to have been made aware of, will be subject to, and will be deemed to have accepted the changes in any revised Privacy Policy by your continued use of the site after the date such revised Privacy Policy is posted.

2. Information Collection and Use

2.1 Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the site includes:

3. Browser-Based Processing

Unlike many online tools that upload your data to remote servers for processing, seotactics.online takes a privacy-first approach. When you use our tools such as Image Compressor, JSON Formatter, Password Generator, or any other utility, all operations are performed locally in your web browser. This architectural decision provides several important privacy benefits:

• Complete Data Privacy: Your sensitive files, personal information, and confidential data remain entirely on your device. We cannot access, view, store, or process any content you use with our tools.
• No Server Storage: Since processing happens client-side, there are no server logs containing your data, no database records of your files, and no backup systems storing your information.
• Offline Capability: Many of our tools can function even without an internet connection once the page is loaded, as all processing logic is downloaded to your browser.
• Faster Processing: Local processing eliminates upload and download times, providing near-instantaneous results for most operations.
• No Data Breaches: Since we don't store your data on our servers, there's no risk of your information being compromised in a data breach of our systems.

What This Means for You: When you compress an image, format JSON code, generate a password, or use any of our 25+ tools, you can trust that your data remains private and secure on your own device. We have no technical ability to access or collect the specific content you process through our tools.

7. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.

Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties. Therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security if you provide personal information through our contact form or other online communications.

7.1 Security Measures

We implement the following security measures:

• HTTPS Encryption: Our website uses SSL/TLS encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
• Browser-Based Processing: As mentioned earlier, all tool processing happens locally in your browser, eliminating the risk of data interception during upload/download.
• Limited Data Collection: We only collect the minimum information necessary to provide our services and respond to inquiries.
• Regular Security Audits: We periodically review our security practices and update them as needed to address new threats.
• Access Controls: Access to any collected data is restricted to authorized personnel only.

7.2 Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify affected users in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. However, given our browser-based processing model where user data never reaches our servers, the risk of such breaches involving your tool usage data is effectively eliminated.

8. Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly solicit information from or market to children under the age of 13. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 13, please contact us using the contact information provided below.

Our website and services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.

In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we take the following measures:

• We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13
• We do not condition participation in activities on the disclosure of more information than is reasonably necessary
• Parents or guardians can review, delete, or refuse further collection of their child's personal information by contacting us
