Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to PicBanao ("we", "our", or "us"). We operate picbanao.com (the "Site") and provide curated prompt blueprints, AI lighting formulas, and visual configurations. Your privacy is of paramount importance to us. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, process, and protect your information when you interact with our platform.

2. Data We Collect

We believe in data minimization. We only collect information that is strictly necessary to run the Site and support our community:

• Direct Communications: When you submit queries through our Support page, we collect your name, email address, subject line, and the content of your message.
• Telemetry & Analytics: We collect anonymized usage events (such as page views, copy prompt clicks, and interface interactions) to analyze and refine website usability.
• Technical Logs: Our network providers (such as Cloudflare) record basic server logs including IP addresses, system configuration, browser metadata, and access timestamps to protect against malicious scrapers and DDoS threats.

3. Telemetry Policy (Umami Analytics)

Our telemetry is powered by **Umami Analytics**, a privacy-first analytics utility. Unlike traditional ad networks:

• We do not write or store tracking cookies on your device.
• We do not track you across other websites.
• All data is anonymized; no personally identifiable information (PII) is captured during click tracking.
• Your analytical footprint is strictly restricted to optimizing our open-source visual catalog.

4. How We Use Information

We process collected data exclusively for the following operations:

• Resolving your questions or feature requests submitted through our support desk.
• Monitoring prompt copying metrics to rank trending blueprints.
• Securing the site and mitigating malicious bot crawling.

5. Information Sharing

We do **not** sell, rent, trade, or share your data with advertising networks or marketing third parties. We may disclose information if required under legal compliance or to protect against fraud and security exploits.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California), you have rights regarding your personal communication details. You can request the removal or copy of any support emails you have sent us by emailing our support inbox at bkagravat.apps@gmail.com.

7. Changes to this Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our database structures, hosting providers, or compliance laws. All modifications will be published here with an updated "Last Updated" timestamp.
