Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to GridGraphPaper.com (“Service”, “we”, “us”, “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (https://gridgraphpaper.com).

We are committed to data minimization and protecting your privacy. Because our graph generation tools run entirely on the client side (in your web browser), your use of our primary service is inherently private. By using GridGraphPaper.com, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Because our website is designed to be a lightweight, privacy-friendly tool, we collect very limited data.

Automatically Collected via Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and usage patterns. When you visit the site, the following information may be collected automatically:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system and device type
  • Pages visited and time spent on the site
  • Referral source (how you found our website)
  • Approximate geographic location (country/city level)

Server Logs and IP Addresses

For security, performance monitoring, and debugging purposes, our web servers automatically log standard information when you access the site. This log data may include your IP address, the date and time of your request, and the specific pages or files you requested.

3. What We Do NOT Collect

We believe in strict data minimization. For complete transparency:

  • No Graph Data: All graph paper generation happens completely on the client side (inside your web browser). We do not collect, process, or store the settings you choose or the files you generate and download.
  • No Accounts or Registration: You do not need to create an account or provide any personal information to use our tools or download files.
  • No Personal Content: We do not feature a blog, comment sections, or user forums. You cannot submit user-generated content to our servers.
  • No Payment Information: GridGraphPaper.com is entirely free to use. We do not ask for or collect any billing or credit card details.

4. How We Use Your Information

The minimal data we do collect is used strictly for the following purposes:

  • Service Improvement: Google Analytics data helps us understand which tools are most popular and how users interact with the site, allowing us to improve our user interface and prioritize updates.
  • Security and Maintenance: Server logs containing IP addresses are used exclusively to monitor the health of our servers, prevent malicious activity (such as spam or DDoS attacks), and diagnose technical issues.

5. Cookies and Third-Party Services

Google Analytics

GridGraphPaper.com uses Google Analytics to measure traffic and visitor behavior. Google Analytics utilizes cookies (_ga, _gid, etc.) to track this anonymized data. Google does not identify you personally. You can opt-out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by using your browser’s “Do Not Track” settings.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect the minimal data we collect. Our website uses HTTPS/SSL encryption to ensure that any data transmitted between your browser and our servers is secure. Because we do not collect personal identifying information (like names, emails, or passwords), the risk to your personal data is exceptionally low.

7. Data Retention

  • Server Logs: IP addresses and access logs are retained temporarily for security and infrastructure monitoring before being automatically overwritten or deleted.
  • Analytics: Aggregated analytics data is retained in Google Analytics subject to their standard retention policies, and is completely anonymized.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not directed to anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take necessary actions.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our site operations. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
