Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
Your privacy is respected by default across all software, applications, and web services created and maintained by Piyush Kaushik (KaushikDev). We adhere strictly to a local-first, minimal-collection architecture.
Product-Specific Privacy Practices
GrowMargin (Web & iOS)
Calculates net margins and performs catalog batch audits. Catalog data imported via CSV or store connection is processed securely and is never sold, shared, or used for advertising profiling.
SpriteFix (Web App)
Sprite sheets and image frames are processed client-side directly in your browser memory. No uploaded artwork or game sprites are saved or retained on external servers.
CamSprite (iOS & iPadOS)
Features 100% on-device processing via Metal GPU shaders (Pixel Sight). Camera permissions are used exclusively for real-time live viewfinder rendering. No photos or video frames are ever transmitted to any cloud servers.
ThumbSmash (iOS & Android)
Collects only optional player display nicknames and high scores for Supabase global leaderboards. Zero personal profiling, location tracking, or third-party ad data mining.
TakeWebNotes (Chrome & Firefox)
Contextual website notes are stored 100% locally in your browser storage. Zero network telemetry, zero tracking of browsing activity, and zero external database sync.
Pixels & Us: Etsy Shop & Pinterest App
Etsy processes checkout and digital delivery. ProjectM is a private, owner-operated workflow for our own Pinterest account; it uses only the permissions and account data needed to prepare approved Pins and measure their organic performance.
Pixels & Us
Etsy Shop & Pinterest App Privacy Policy
Pixels & Us is operated by Piyush Kaushik. This section applies to the Pixels & Us Etsy shop and its private Pinterest app, which is operated through the local ProjectM workflow.
Etsy digital products and customer information
Products are sold through Etsy. Etsy processes checkout, payment, and delivery of digital downloads under its own policies. We use order information Etsy makes available to us only to fulfil an order, provide requested customer support, prevent fraud, and meet applicable legal obligations. We do not sell customer information or use it for unrelated advertising or profiling.
Pinterest app and ProjectM
ProjectM is not a customer-facing service. It is a private, owner-operated workflow used only with the authenticated Pixels & Us Pinterest business account. It may access that account's board and Pin information, organic performance data, and the minimum account information needed to prepare drafts, obtain owner approval, schedule approved Pins, and measure results.
The workflow does not access other Pinterest users' private data, offer account access to customers, run advertising, create fake engagement, or sell, rent, or share Pinterest data for marketing or profiling. It does not use Etsy buyer data to target Pinterest users.
Pinterest authorization credentials are kept in encrypted local workflow credential storage and are not placed in source code, published files, or shared with third parties. The account owner can revoke Pinterest access at any time through Pinterest and can remove the connected credentials and local workflow data from ProjectM.
Retention, sharing, and questions
ProjectM configuration and approved performance records remain local to the account owner's workflow for only as long as they are kept by that owner. Etsy and Pinterest independently process information supplied to their platforms under their own privacy policies. Questions, access requests, or deletion requests can be sent to the contact address below.
Payments, Analytics & Contact
Payments for commercial software licenses or digital products are processed securely through certified providers (Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Apple StoreKit, Google Play Billing, or Etsy). We do not receive or store your raw payment card numbers.
If you have any questions or data removal requests regarding any product, contact: piyush.kaushik02@gmail.com.
