Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 2024

Welcome to SQGATE. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our educational digital logic and circuit simulator.

1. Data Storage and Telemetry

SQGATE operates primarily within your web browser. Most processing and logic calculations are performed locally on your device.

Project Data: All circuit designs, configurations, and state history are saved locally using your browser's local storage mechanisms.
Anonymous AI Telemetry: To help us train future AI features, we may anonymously collect the structural topology of your circuits (gates and wires). This is strictly anonymous mathematics and contains no personal information, email addresses, or IPs. If you create an account and log in with your email, this data collection is completely disabled to protect your privacy.

2. Third-Party Advertisers and Cookies

We use third-party advertising companies (such as Google AdSense) to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings.

3. External Links

Our platform contains links to external sites, such as GitHub and Ko-Fi. Once you click these links and leave SQGATE, you are subject to the privacy policies of those respective platforms.

4. Children's Privacy

Because SQGATE is an educational tool that does not collect personal data, it is safe for students and users of all ages to use without requiring parental consent for data collection.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time if we introduce new features (such as optional cloud saving). Any updates will be posted on this page.
