Privacy Policy

At Pinyin.pro, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of any information you may provide while using our service. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information.

By using Pinyin.pro, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We DON't Collect:

• Input Text: We do not store any Chinese text or other content you input into our conversion tool
• Conversion Results: We do not save or log the pinyin output from our converter
• Personal Content: We do not access, store, or transmit any personal documents or messages you convert
• User Accounts: We do not require registration or maintain user accounts

Information We May Collect:

• Basic Analytics: General usage statistics like page views and session duration (anonymized)
• Technical Information: Browser type, device type, and general location (country/region) for service optimization
• Error Logs: Technical error information to help us improve the service (no personal content included)

This approach ensures:

• Maximum privacy protection for your content
• Faster conversion speeds (no network delays)
• Offline functionality once the page is loaded
• No risk of data breaches involving your input text

Essential Cookies:

• Session cookies to maintain basic functionality
• Preference cookies to remember your conversion settings (tone type, format, etc.)

Local Storage:

• User preferences (conversion settings, theme preferences)
• No personal content or conversion history is stored

You can clear these at any time through your browser settings. Clearing them will reset your preferences but won't affect the core functionality of our service.

We may use the following third-party services:

• Hosting Provider: For website hosting and content delivery
• Analytics: Basic, privacy-focused analytics to understand usage patterns
• CDN Services: For faster loading of fonts and static assets

These services may collect basic technical information but do not have access to your input text or conversion results.

We implement appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of information:

• HTTPS Encryption: All data transmission is encrypted using SSL/TLS
• Secure Hosting: Our website is hosted on secure, regularly updated servers
• Minimal Data Collection: We collect only what's necessary for basic functionality
• Regular Security Reviews: We regularly review and update our security practices

Since we don't collect or store personal data from your conversions, most data protection concerns don't apply. However, you have the right to:

• Know what limited data we collect (as outlined in this policy)
• Request deletion of any analytics data associated with your visits
• Opt out of analytics tracking (contact us for instructions)
• Access and control your browser's local storage and cookies

Our service is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal data from conversions, children can use our service safely under parental guidance.

If you are a parent and believe your child has provided personal information through our contact methods, please contact us to have it removed.

Pinyin.pro is accessible worldwide. Since we process data client-side in your browser, your conversion data never crosses international borders through our servers.

Any limited analytics data we collect is processed in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including GDPR for European users.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
