What we do NOT collect:
- Analytics or tracking cookies
- Advertising data
- Detailed behavioral profiles
3. How We Use Your Information
- Service Provision: Authenticating claimed workspaces via OAuth
- Rate Limiting: Preventing abuse
- Debugging: Investigating errors when something breaks
- Security: Detecting unauthorized access attempts
We do not sell, trade, or rent your information.
4. Data Storage
Hosted service (mdplane.dev):

7. Security
We implement reasonable security measures:
