Information We Collect
BranchStone collects as little information as reasonably possible to provide its services.
Information you provide. Depending on the tool you use, this may include:
- Text you enter into a tool
- Files you upload for processing
- Images or documents submitted to generate results
- Feedback you voluntarily send us
We process this information only as necessary to provide the requested functionality.
Technical information. Like most websites, BranchStone may automatically collect limited technical information: browser type, device type, operating system, IP address, crash reports, and basic usage analytics. This helps us improve reliability and diagnose technical issues.
Optional support contributions. If you choose to financially support BranchStone, payment information is processed by our third-party payment provider. BranchStone does not store complete payment card information.
How We Use Information
We use information only to:
- Generate the results you request
- Improve our tools
- Respond to support requests
- Diagnose technical problems
- Maintain platform security
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information. We do not build advertising profiles based on your use of BranchStone.
AI Processing
Many BranchStone tools use artificial intelligence to generate results. Information you submit to a tool may be processed by trusted AI service providers solely for the purpose of producing the requested output.
Whenever practical, we choose providers that support strong privacy and security practices.
File Processing
Some BranchStone tools allow you to upload files. Uploaded files are processed only as necessary to complete the requested task.
Unless otherwise stated by a specific tool, uploaded files are not retained longer than reasonably necessary to provide the requested service.
Third-Party Services
BranchStone works with trusted service providers for:
- AI processing
- Cloud hosting
- Analytics
- Payment processing
- Error monitoring
- Email delivery
These providers process information only as needed to help operate BranchStone.
Data Security
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect the information processed through BranchStone. While no online service can guarantee perfect security, protecting your information remains one of our highest priorities.
Your Choices
Where applicable, you may:
- Contact us with privacy questions
- Request correction of information
- Request deletion of information that we retain
- Choose whether to submit files or optional feedback
Because most BranchStone tools do not require accounts, many privacy controls are naturally simplified.
Changes to This Policy
As BranchStone continues to evolve, we may update this Privacy Policy. When significant changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date.
BranchStone was designed to be straightforward, useful, and respectful of your privacy. If you have questions about how your information is handled, we'd be happy to help.
