Effective Date: May 21, 2026

Enigma.pocketcomputer.net (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (the “Site”), which provides an online Enigma machine simulator and related cryptographic tools.

Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal personal information to keep the service lightweight, educational, and privacy-friendly.

Information You Provide Voluntarily:

  • No account creation or registration is required.
  • Any messages, settings, or configurations you enter into the Enigma simulator (these are processed client-side where possible and not stored by us unless you explicitly save/share them).
  • Contact information if you choose to email us for support.

Automatically Collected Information:

  • Log Data: Standard server logs including IP address (truncated or anonymized where feasible), browser type, device type, operating system, referring URLs, and access times.
  • Usage Data: Anonymized analytics on which features (e.g., rotor settings, encryption modes) are used to improve the simulator. No personally identifiable data is tied to this.
  • Cookies: We may use essential cookies for basic functionality (e.g., remembering temporary simulator preferences). No advertising or tracking cookies from third parties.

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as financial information, precise location, or biometric data.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for:

  • Operating and maintaining the Enigma simulator.
  • Improving the user experience and fixing bugs.
  • Responding to your inquiries or support requests.
  • Ensuring security and preventing abuse (e.g., detecting excessive automated requests).
  • Complying with legal obligations.

3. Sharing of Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We may share data only in these limited cases:

  • With service providers who assist in hosting or analytics (under strict confidentiality agreements).
  • When required by law, court order, or government request.
  • To protect the rights, property, or safety of Enigma.pocketcomputer.net, our users, or the public.

4. Data Storage and Security

  • Simulator inputs (plaintext/ciphertext) are generally processed in your browser and not persistently stored on our servers.
  • Any temporary logs are retained only as long as necessary for operational or security purposes (typically days to a few weeks) and then deleted or anonymized.
  • We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
  • Opt out of certain processing.
  • Withdraw consent where applicable.

To exercise these rights, contact us at the details below. We respond to verifiable requests promptly.

You can clear cookies or use privacy-focused browsers/extensions to minimize automatic data collection.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to delete it.

7. International Transfers

If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. or other countries. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
