Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-02-21

This Privacy Policy describes how the AZ web app ("AZ", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our website and related features. AZ is a personal software project created and maintained by Artur Zhadan. The purpose of this policy is to explain data handling in a clear way so users can make informed decisions and understand their options.

1. Scope

This policy applies to public pages, account features, service tools, and other functionality available through the AZ website. Some tools in AZ run entirely in your browser, while others use server-side APIs and data storage. Depending on the feature you use, different categories of information may be processed.

2. Information We Process

We may process the following categories of information:

• Account information you provide when creating or using an account.
• Technical data such as device or browser information needed for compatibility and diagnostics.
• Usage-related information necessary to provide app features and improve service reliability.
• Content you submit in app sections that support user-generated data.
• Basic network information such as IP address for security, anti-abuse, and operational logs.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We process data to operate the service, maintain security, and improve usability.

3. Client-Side Storage

Some AZ features store data in your browser, including local storage and session-level browser memory. This helps preserve app state, improve experience, and enable utility tools to function quickly. Client-side storage is controlled by your browser environment. You can clear local storage and browser data at any time using your browser settings.

4. Server-Side Processing

For account and backend-supported functionality, AZ uses server-side processing and database storage. This may include authentication-related data, profile-associated data, and content linked to specific features. Access to these systems is limited to service operation requirements.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

AZ may use cookies or similar browser mechanisms for session support, preference persistence, and service continuity. Cookies can also be used by third-party services integrated on the site, depending on enabled features. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings. Disabling cookies may reduce functionality in some areas.

6. Advertising and Third-Party Services

AZ may display advertising and may use third-party providers such as Google AdSense. These providers may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve and measure ads. Third-party data handling is governed by the policies of those providers. For Google advertising services, please review Google's own privacy and ad technology documentation for current details.

7. Legal Basis and Purpose of Processing

Depending on your region, processing may be based on legitimate interests, contractual necessity, consent, and legal compliance obligations. Purposes include delivering requested functionality, maintaining account security, preventing abuse, monitoring service health, and improving quality.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for operational, legal, security, and support purposes. Retention periods can vary by data type and feature. When data is no longer needed, we aim to delete, anonymize, or otherwise reduce identifiable elements where practical.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to reduce risks of unauthorized access, misuse, disclosure, alteration, and loss. No online system is completely risk-free, but we continuously seek to improve service security, monitoring, and resilience.

10. User Rights and Controls

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your data. You may also have rights to object to certain processing or withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. To exercise available rights, contact us through the public channels provided in AZ.

11. Children's Privacy

AZ is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe data related to a child has been provided improperly, please contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.

12. International Access

AZ may be accessed from multiple regions. Data processing may occur in infrastructure locations different from your own. By using the service, you understand that cross-border processing may occur where needed to operate the platform.

13. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect service changes, legal requirements, or operational improvements. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates the latest revision. Continued use of AZ after updates may be treated as acceptance of the revised policy where permitted by law.

14. Contact

For privacy-related questions, requests, or concerns, use the contact and profile channels available on AZ public pages.
