Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 13 February 2025
Welcome to Spacetime Simulations ("we," "our," "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect any information you provide when using our website ("the Site").
By accessing or using our Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Data You Submit
The only data you may submit to the Site is the image file you upload for use in our black hole or wormhole simulation tool ("the Simulation").
- Image Uploads: When you upload an image, it is processed solely to run the Simulation and generate the requested result. The image is neither stored on our servers nor used for any purpose beyond generating the Simulation output.
1.2 Automatically Collected Data
We do not ask you to provide personal information like your name or email address to use this Site. However, like most websites, our hosting provider and third‑party services (for example, Google AdSense and Google Analytics) may process certain technical data when you visit, which can include identifiers such as IP address, device/browser information, and cookie identifiers.
Examples of data that may be processed include:
- Browser type
- Device type
- General geographic location (non-specific, anonymized)
2. How We Use Your Data
We use the information you provide solely for the following purposes:
- Image Uploads: The uploaded image is processed in real-time to generate the requested Simulation result. Once the result is generated, the image is discarded and not stored on our servers.
- Usage Analytics: Any automatically collected data (e.g., via Google Analytics) is used to improve the performance and usability of the Site.
We will never:
- Sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing or other purposes.
- Use your data to identify or track you personally.
3. Data Retention and Storage
We do not intentionally store image uploads after processing. Images are processed to generate the result and are then discarded. Please note: during processing, data may exist temporarily in memory, caches, or logs, and our hosting provider may maintain standard operational logs for security and reliability.
Any anonymized, aggregated data collected via third-party analytics tools is retained according to the policies of those third-party providers.
4. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services to improve the Site’s functionality. These services include:
- Google AdSense: To display advertisements on the Site. AdSense may use cookies to serve ads based on user interests and prior interactions with the Site.
- Google Analytics: To collect anonymized data about how users interact with the Site.
These third-party providers have their own privacy policies, and we recommend reviewing them for more information:
5. Security Measures
We take the security of your data seriously. While we do not store uploaded images, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that any data processed through the Site is handled securely.
6. Your Rights
As a user, you have the right to:
- Access the Site without submitting any personal data.
- Use the Site anonymously.
- Contact us with any questions or concerns about data processing.
Depending on your location and the third‑party services in use, you may have privacy rights (for example, regarding cookies/analytics). If you contact us, we can help direct you to relevant opt‑out tools and settings.
7. Cookies
The Site uses cookies or similar technologies for essential functions and performance improvement. Third-party services, including Google AdSense and Google Analytics, may use cookies to collect anonymized data and serve ads based on user behavior.
Google’s use of cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on prior visits to this website and/or other websites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Ads Settings page. Alternatively, you can visit www.aboutads.info to opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized ads.
Cookies and similar identifiers may be used by third‑party services (e.g., Google AdSense/Analytics). You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, and Google provides advertising and analytics controls in their settings.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with the "Effective Date" updated accordingly. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
