Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Scope

Welcome to FalkGen. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how FalkGen ("we," "us," "our," or "the Service") handles information in connection with your use of our website, application, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

Our core philosophy is user privacy, architected on a client-side processing model. This means all password generation and related calculations occur directly in your browser on your device. Nothing you generate is sent to our servers or stored by us. This Policy primarily concerns the limited, anonymous data required to operate the website itself.

By accessing or using our Service, you signify your acknowledgment and agreement to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, you must not use the Service.

2. Information We Collect (and What We Don't)

We collect the absolute minimum information necessary to operate and improve our Service.

2.1. Information We Do Not Collect

The fundamental principle of FalkGen is that your data is yours alone. We do not collect, record, store, or transmit any of the following:

• Any passwords you generate.
• Any settings you use within the generator (e.g., length, complexity).
• Any personal information entered into the Service.

All functionality of the password generator is self-contained within your browser.

2.2. Information Collected Automatically

• Log and Usage Data: Like most websites, our servers may automatically collect standard log information when you access the Service. This data may include your IP address, browser type and settings, operating system, device information, and access times. This information is used for security monitoring, preventing abuse, and analyzing aggregated, non-identifiable trends to improve website performance. It is not linked to your activity within the password generator.
• Cookies: We use cookies to operate and improve our Service. For detailed information on the cookies we use, please see Section 4 of this Policy.

2.3. Information You Provide Voluntarily

• Communications: If you choose to contact us for support or other inquiries, we may retain a record of that correspondence and the information provided therein to resolve your query.

3. How We Use Information

We use the limited information we collect for the following operational purposes:

• To Provide and Maintain the Service: To serve the website to you and ensure its core functionalities work correctly.
• To Improve the Service: To understand how users interact with our website through aggregated, anonymous analytics, which helps us enhance usability and optimize performance.
• To Maintain Security and Prevent Fraud: To monitor for suspicious activity, protect against malicious attacks or abuse, and enforce our Terms of Service.
• To Respond to You: To reply to your support requests or other direct communications.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

A cookie is a piece of information sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. We use the following types of cookies to ensure the functionality, security, and improvement of our Service:

• Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary for the Service to function. For example, they may be used to remember a preference, like your choice between light and dark mode. The Service may not work correctly without them.
• Analytics Cookies: We may use third-party analytics services, such as Vercel Analytics, to help us understand website usage patterns. These tools use cookies to collect aggregated, anonymous information about how you interact with our website (e.g., which pages are most popular). This data is collected in aggregate, does not allow us to identify individual users, and helps us improve the Service.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept essential cookies, some parts of our Service may not function as intended.

5. Data Security

Since we do not collect or store any data from the password generator, the security of your generated passwords is in your hands. The responsibility for securely storing and using any password you generate rests exclusively with you. Any password strength indicators provided by the Service are for informational purposes only and do not constitute a security guarantee, as further detailed in our Terms of Service.

For the operational data we do handle (e.g., server logs), we implement robust technical and organizational measures to protect it, including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) and strict access controls.

6. International Data Transfers

FalkGen is operated in the United States. If you are using the Service from another country, standard website operational data (such as your IP address) will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer, storage, and processing.

7. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding the limited operational data collected by our web servers (such as your IP address). Because we do not collect personal information like email addresses, rights related to account data are not applicable. If you have questions about your data rights in the context of standard web traffic, please contact us.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for or directed at individuals under the age of 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will take immediate steps to delete it.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically for any changes.
