Overview
Algorithm Break ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website at algorithmbreak.ai and its subdomains (the "Service").

Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect any information we hold. Since most data processing happens locally in your browser, your sensitive data (watch history, listening history) is never exposed to network transmission risks.
