PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: January 2026

Modern Signature Tools ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of every visitor and user of our website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we safeguard it, and the rights available to you under global data-protection frameworks such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the UK Data Protection Act 2018, and equivalent laws in other jurisdictions.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Our tools are engineered to operate entirely inside your web browser. This means:

• We do not upload, store, transmit, or process your signatures, PDFs, images, or any content you create through our tools.
• We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, or payment details.
• We do not require registration, sign-up, or account creation of any kind.

2. Information We May Collect Automatically

Like most websites, we collect limited, anonymized technical information for analytics and security purposes, including:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Approximate geographic region (country level only)
• Pages visited and time spent
• Referring website
• Anonymized IP address (truncated where required by law)

This information is used solely to understand traffic patterns, improve site performance, and prevent abuse. It is never sold, rented, or shared with advertisers.

3. Cookies

We use only essential cookies necessary for basic site functionality (such as remembering your preference for the tool interface). We do not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or cross-site tracking technologies. You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time without affecting core tool functionality.

4. Local Storage

Some tools may use your browser's localStorage to save your signatures, templates, or preferences on your own device. This data never leaves your browser and can be cleared at any time by using the "Clear Data" button inside the tool or by clearing your browser storage.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use privacy-friendly, aggregate analytics providers (such as anonymized visitor counters) to understand traffic. We do not integrate advertising networks, social-media trackers, or third-party fingerprinting scripts.

6. Your Rights (GDPR, CCPA & Others)

You have the right to:

• Request access to any personal data we may hold (typically none).
• Request correction or deletion of any data.
• Object to or restrict processing.
• Withdraw consent at any time.
• Lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

7. Data Security

All communication with our website is served over encrypted HTTPS (TLS 1.2+). Because tools run client-side, the attack surface for data exposure is minimal by design.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Website is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Effective Date."
