1. No Account Required

   • You can use Schedule Maker without creating an account or signing in.

2. Local-Only Schedules and Preferences

   • What We Store: Your schedules and preferences are stored locally in your browser (e.g., Local Storage) on your device.
   • Purpose: To provide a seamless, privacy-friendly experience and keep your data between sessions without uploading it to our servers.

3. Minimal Technical Information

   • What We Collect: Basic technical metadata such as device type, operating system, browser type/version, screen resolution, and anonymous request logs required for performance, security, and troubleshooting.
   • Purpose: To ensure the site functions correctly across devices and to maintain reliability.

4. No Server-Side Schedule Collection

   • We do not collect or permanently store your schedule content, events, categories, or personal preferences on our servers.

We take the security of your scheduling information seriously. Your schedule data is primarily stored locally in your browser's storage, giving you full control over your information. When data is transmitted for export or sharing features, we implement security measures including:

• Encryption during data transmission
• Secure processing of export requests
• No permanent server-side storage of your personal schedule data
• Regular security audits of our application

However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We respect your privacy and do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal scheduling information to outside parties, except in the following circumstances:

• Export Functionality: When you choose to export your schedules in PDF, PNG, JSON, or CSV formats, the data is processed temporarily to generate the requested format.
• Legal Compliance: To comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests from public authorities.
