4. Data Storage and Security
4.1 Local Processing
Most compression happens locally in your browser. Your original text is processed on your device and only anonymized usage statistics are sent to our servers.

4.3 Data Retention
We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide our services or as required by law. Usage analytics are anonymized and aggregated for statistical purposes.
5. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information except:

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review.
