2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for various core operational purposes:
- To provide, maintain, and improve the CircuitForge platform and simulation engine.
- To authenticate users and secure account data against unauthorized access.
- To store, organize, and retrieve your electronic circuit projects.
- To facilitate sharing of circuits via public links, if you choose to make them public.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Data Storage and Security
We utilize third-party cloud infrastructure (Google Firebase) to securely store and process your data. All data transit is encrypted using strictly enforced TLS (Transport Layer Security).
While we implement commercially reasonable safeguards to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Google account credentials.
4. Cookies and Local Storage
CircuitForge uses standard browser local storage and essential cookies to maintain your session, store local draft circuits, and remember your interface preferences (e.g., active tools, minimap state).
We use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our platform. Google Analytics collects anonymous usage data via cookies to report on website trends. Additionally, Google AdSense (when active) uses cookies to serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on your visits to our site and other sites on the Internet.
You can manage your ad preferences and opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings. You may also use the cookie consent banner on our site to opt-out of non-essential analytics cookies.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to Access: You can view your stored circuit data within your dashboard.
- Right to Deletion: You may request the deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.
- Right to Opt-Out: We do not sell data, so there is no need to opt-out of data sales.
