These services may log API requests (typically IP address and request time) per their own privacy policies. We do not control or access their logs.

2. How We Use Information

• Identify technical issues and bugs
• Improve user experience and performance
• Plan future features and updates

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Data is only shared with:

• Google Analytics: Anonymous usage statistics (as described above)
• API Providers: Your browser sends requests to cryptocurrency price APIs to fetch live data
• Netlify (Hosting): Our website is hosted on Netlify, which may log basic server access information (IP addresses, request times) per their privacy policy

4. Cookies and Tracking

4.1 Cookies

PulseBoard itself does not use cookies. However:

• Google Analytics may set cookies to track anonymous usage statistics

5.3 Block Third-Party APIs

• Local storage: Your preferences never leave your device
• No passwords: We don't store passwords or authentication credentials

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Significant changes will be communicated through:

• A notice on the main PulseBoard page

• Right of Access: Request information about data processing
