FancyText is committed to protecting user privacy. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
1. Information we collect
FancyText is a free service. You can use most features without signing in. Signing in is entirely optional. We collect the following types of information:

- Data you create: Your list of favorite characters (synced to your account when signed in), names/text you enter when using the name generator, and any bug reports you submit. If you're signed in, this data may be stored along with your uid and email.
- Usage data: Information about how you interact with the website (pages visited, time spent, 404 paths) — processed by Google Analytics in aggregate form.

We may also disclose information if required by law or by a competent authority.
