1. Introduction

Noise Gradient ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website and tool, how we use it, and under what circumstances we may disclose it. Please read this policy carefully.

By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, you should not use the Service. We do not require you to create an account to use the gradient generator; however, certain features (such as the contact form) may involve the submission of personal information.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide. When you use our contact form, you may provide your name, email address, and message content. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and to provide support. We do not use contact form submissions for marketing unless you have given explicit consent, and we do not sell this information to third parties.

Information generated by your use of the generator. The gradient generator runs primarily in your browser. Your color choices, gradient settings, and exported images (PNG or SVG) are processed locally. We do not store or transmit the content you create or export unless you voluntarily send it to us (for example, by pasting it into the contact form or attaching it to a message).

Information collected automatically. When you access our website, our servers may automatically record certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and the date and time of your requests. We use this information for security, abuse prevention, analytics, and to improve the Service. This information may be stored in server logs for a limited period.

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to: (a) operate, maintain, and improve the Service; (b) respond to your inquiries and provide support; (c) detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security issues, and technical problems; (d) comply with applicable laws and legal process; and (e) enforce our Terms of Service and other policies.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your contact form submissions or other personally identifiable information for advertising or to build profiles for marketing purposes, except as you may have separately agreed.

4. Third-party services

reCAPTCHA. Our contact form may use Google reCAPTCHA to help prevent spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA may collect and process information (including IP address and other interaction data) in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By using the contact form, you acknowledge that reCAPTCHA may be in use.

We may use other third-party services (such as hosting providers or analytics tools) that process data on our behalf. Such providers are contractually or legally required to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify. We do not authorize them to use your information for their own marketing purposes.

5. Data retention

We retain contact form submissions and related correspondence for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which they were submitted (e.g. to respond and resolve your inquiry) and for a reasonable period thereafter for legal, security, or support purposes. Server logs and other automatically collected data are typically retained for a limited period (e.g. several months) unless a longer retention period is required by law or for legitimate operational or security reasons. You may request deletion of personal data we hold about you (see "Your rights" below).

6. Cookies and local storage

We do not set cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking. The site may use strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies (such as local storage or session storage) for essential functionality—for example, to remember a preference or to maintain session state. Third-party services embedded in our site (such as reCAPTCHA) may set their own cookies; their use is governed by their respective privacy policies.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.

7. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data; you provide information at your own risk.

8. International transfers

Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than your country of residence, where data protection laws may differ. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to such countries. We take steps to ensure that your information receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it.

9. Children

The Service is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.

10. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to: access the personal information we hold about you; request correction or deletion of your personal information; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and, in some jurisdictions, data portability or the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise these rights, or to request deletion of contact form or other data we hold about you, please contact us via our contact form. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable law.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the Service, or applicable law. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
