1. Introduction

Welcome to 8StarLabs, currently operated solely by Tham Kei Lok ("I", "me", or "my"). 8StarLabs builds design-focused software projects that are purposeful, impactful, and user-friendly. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect information when you interact with my website, open-source projects, or production software. By using 8StarLabs products or services, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. My goal is to ensure transparency and help you make informed decisions about sharing your personal information.

2. Information Collection and Use

8StarLabs does not collect personal information when you browse the website or use open-source projects. For production software or newsletters, minimal information such as your email may be collected to provide updates or communicate about the services. Any usage data collected for analytics purposes is anonymized and cannot identify you personally.

3. How Information is Used

Collected information is only used to improve services, communicate updates, or provide requested features. 8StarLabs does not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. I may collaborate with third-party service providers (e.g., email services or hosting) strictly to support the functionality of 8StarLabs projects.

4. Security

I take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, please understand that no method of electronic storage or internet transmission is completely secure. While I strive to follow best practices, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

5. Children’s Privacy

8StarLabs products and services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact me to have it removed.
