Welcome to Brekido. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our application.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

We designed Brekido with your privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or share any personal data or the text you submit for simplification.

Text Content: The text you paste into our tool is sent to the Google AI API for processing and is not stored on our servers. We encourage you to review Google's API policies for information on how they handle data.
Personal Information: We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect any personal information such as your name, email address, or IP address.

2. API Key Storage

If you choose to provide your own Google AI API key, it is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. This key is never transmitted to our servers. It is used directly by your browser to communicate with the Google AI API.

For users on the free tier, we track the number of simplifications you perform and the date. This information is stored in your browser's local storage and is used solely to enforce our daily usage limits. This data is not sent to our servers and is reset every 24 hours.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to save your settings, such as your theme preference, API key, and daily usage count. This is done to improve your user experience and is confined to your browser.
