1. Introduction

Welcome to Utographia ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information during our alpha development phase. As we're actively building and testing our mosaic generator tool, our data practices are focused on development, testing, and improvement.

Important: Utographia is currently in alpha development. Features, functionality, and data handling practices may change as we develop the product. We will update this policy as needed and notify users of significant changes.

• We do not sell or share your images with third parties

Alpha Limitation: As we're in development, we recommend not uploading sensitive or irreplaceable images. Always keep backups of important files.
