Owned and Operated by: TAU Developer Tools (Anatolii Hlushko)

This Privacy Policy explains how TAU Developer Tools ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website tauicongenerator.com and the TAU Icon Generator software (the "Software"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling information responsibly.

By accessing our website or using our Software, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

The TAU Icon Generator Software does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information about users.

Specifically, we do not:

• Collect names, email addresses, or personal identifiers
• Track usage or activity inside the Software
• Transfer any data from your device to our servers
• Store or log OpenAI API key usage or prompts

All operations performed by the Software occur locally on your device.

2. User-Provided OpenAI API Key

To generate icons, the Software requires you to enter your own OpenAI API key.

• Your API key is stored locally on your machine only.
• It is never sent to TAU Developer Tools.
• It is used only to communicate directly with OpenAI's API services.
• You may remove or change your API key at any time.
