We do not provide personal information to any third parties. Since all data is stored locally on your device, there is no data to transfer. We do not sell, trade, or rent personal information.
The only exception would be if required by Japanese law enforcement under a valid legal order, in which case we would comply only to the extent technically possible and legally required.

- No server-side database storing personal information
- localStorage data is sandboxed by your browser's same-origin policy
- Input validation and sanitization on all user-provided data
