Tinda Cloud (“this site”, https://tinda.cloud/en/) values your privacy and complies with applicable data protection regulations, including the Personal Information Protection Act. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how long we store it, and how it is deleted.
1. Information Collected and Purpose of Use
- Comments — Name, email address, website URL (optional), IP address at the time of submission, and browser information (User-Agent). Collected to display comments and prevent spam.

This site does not offer user registration and does not use dedicated web analytics tools (such as Google Analytics).
