Information I Do Not Collect (Server-Side)
The ICEBERG CREATOR operates as a **purely client-side application**. This fundamental design means that all functionalities, data processing, and content creation occur exclusively within your web browser. **I do not have a backend server infrastructure for data storage or processing related to your creations.**
Therefore, I explicitly state that I **do not collect, store, or have any access to (server-side):**
- Any personal data you might input.
- The content of any iceberg charts you create.
- Any images you upload to the tool.
- Any other user-generated content.
Your creations remain entirely private to your browser. While your work is saved locally within your browser's storage (see "Local Data Storage" section below), it is never transmitted to or saved externally by my Service. I encourage users to utilize their device's screenshot functionality for permanent saving and sharing.
Local Data Storage
To provide a better user experience and prevent accidental loss of your work, the ICEBERG CREATOR utilizes your web browser's **local storage (localStorage)** to save your progress. This means:
- What is stored: The text entries, labels, uploaded images (as data URLs), and their positions/sizes on the canvas are saved. This data is specific to the browser you are using and your device.
- Where it's stored: This data resides entirely within your web browser's local storage. It is not uploaded to any server, nor is it accessible by me or any third party.
- Persistence: Your work saved in local storage will generally persist across browser sessions on the same device. However, it can be lost if you:
- Manually clear your browser's cache or local storage.
- Use a different browser or device.
- Your browser's local storage limit is reached (though this is rare for typical usage).
- Your control: You have full control over this data through your browser's settings. You can view, manage, or clear your browser's local storage at any time.
This local storage mechanism is implemented solely for your convenience and privacy, ensuring your work remains on your device without any server-side interaction.
