RateLimiter is primarily a static educational tool. We do not intentionally collect or store personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, or physical locations.

We may use anonymous analytics tools to understand how users interact with our educational content. This data is used solely to improve the user experience and the accuracy of our simulations.

5. External Links

Our website includes links to external sites, such as GitHub. These websites have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them as we have no control over their data practices.
