Tune the
mechanism.

This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you install, access, or use the Gearspire browser extension.

Gearspire provides a toolbar-popup simulation in which users can tune the sizes and rotational speeds of gears arranged within a vertical tower.

Changes are reflected in real time so users can experiment with different rhythmic spinning patterns and visual relationships between gears.

This policy applies to functionality provided directly by Gearspire and does not govern unrelated websites, browser vendors, operating systems, or independent services.

Gearspire has a focused single purpose: providing an interactive gear simulation that allows users to modify gear sizes and speeds and observe the resulting visual motion.

Features reasonably related to this purpose may include:

• Displaying a vertical gear tower;
• Rendering multiple gears;
• Adjusting gear dimensions;
• Adjusting rotational speeds;
• Changing movement in real time;
• Updating gear relationships;
• Displaying rhythmic spinning motion;
• Resetting simulation values; and
• Other controls related directly to the gear simulation.

Gearspire does not require users to create a dedicated account in order to access its standard simulation functionality.

Users do not need to register a username, password, profile, email address, or other personal identity information merely to adjust gears and observe the resulting animation.

Gearspire processes functional information necessary to display and operate the simulated gear system.

These values are simulation parameters and are not inherently personally identifiable information.

Gearspire allows users to modify the size of simulated gears within the vertical tower.

A gear-size value may affect the appearance of the gear, its relationship with nearby gears, spacing, rotation, or other visual behavior supported by the simulation.

Gear-size values are used solely to provide the interactive functionality requested by the user.

Users may adjust rotational speed values through Gearspire's real-time controls.

Speed values determine how quickly the corresponding simulated gear rotates.

They may also influence the overall visual rhythm produced by the gear tower.

Gearspire updates the simulation when users change available controls.

Real-time processing may include:

• Reading the selected gear size;
• Reading the selected speed;
• Updating gear dimensions;
• Updating rotational velocity;
• Recalculating visual relationships;
• Rendering animation frames; and
• Displaying the resulting motion.

Gearspire displays gears in a vertical tower arrangement.

The extension may maintain information about gear order, spacing, positions, sizes, and related visual geometry so that the tower can be rendered correctly.

These values relate to the internal simulation interface rather than the user's physical location or identity.

Different gear sizes and speed combinations may produce different visual rhythms.

Gearspire may calculate animation timing, rotation direction, rotational progression, or other values required to create the resulting spinning pattern.

These calculations are used only for the extension's simulation.

Gearspire may process information necessary to maintain the current simulation state.

Such information may include:

• Number of gears;
• Gear dimensions;
• Gear order;
• Rotational speed;
• Rotation direction;
• Current rotation angle;
• Animation timing;
• Control values;
• Reset state; and
• Other simulation parameters.

Gearspire is designed to provide its primary functionality through a browser toolbar popup.

The popup contains the controls and visual simulation needed to tune the gear tower.

Users can access the simulation without navigating away from the webpage currently open in the browser.

While Gearspire is running, the extension may temporarily maintain the information needed to display the current gear configuration.

This may include gear sizes, speed values, rotation angles, animation timing, tower arrangement, and other visual state.

Temporary state is functional information used to operate the simulation.

If a version of Gearspire uses browser-provided storage, it may be used to remember functional simulation preferences.

Locally stored information, if any, may include:

• Preferred gear sizes;
• Preferred rotational speeds;
• Interface settings;
• Default simulation values; or
• Other non-sensitive configuration preferences.

Such storage is intended to support Gearspire's functionality and is not intended to create behavioral advertising profiles.

Gearspire does not require personally identifiable information to provide its core gear simulation.

Users are not required to provide:

• Full name;
• Email address;
• Telephone number;
• Home or mailing address;
• Government identification information;
• Payment card details;
• Banking credentials;
• Passwords;
• Authentication tokens; or
• Other unrelated personal information.

Gearspire does not require sensitive personal information to provide its standard features.

Health information, biometric identifiers, financial credentials, authentication secrets, government identifiers, political information, religious information, and similar sensitive data are unrelated to gear tuning.

Gearspire does not require passwords, login credentials, two-factor authentication codes, private keys, or account tokens for standard simulation functionality.

Authentication data associated with unrelated websites is not needed to operate the gear tower.

Gearspire does not require credit card numbers, bank account information, financial authentication credentials, or transaction information in order to adjust gear sizes or speeds.

Gearspire does not require precise geographic location information for its standard functionality.

The vertical positions of gears in the simulation do not correspond to the user's physical location.

Gearspire does not require camera or microphone input to provide its core simulation.

Gears and animations are generated within the extension interface and do not require recorded video, voice, or ambient audio.

Private emails, direct messages, chat conversations, and other personal communications are not required for Gearspire's standard gear-tuning functionality.

Gearspire's standard toolbar-popup simulation does not require the general content of webpages visited by the user.

The extension is not intended to copy, archive, index, or analyze unrelated webpage text, images, videos, forms, or documents simply to operate the gear tower.

Gearspire does not require a general history of websites visited by users to provide its core functionality.

Browsing history is unrelated to determining gear size, rotation speed, or rhythmic motion.

Gearspire does not require users' general search engine history in order to operate its simulation.

Search queries performed on unrelated websites are not necessary for gear tuning.

Gearspire is not designed to collect information entered into forms on unrelated websites.

This includes:

• Login forms;
• Registration forms;
• Checkout forms;
• Payment forms;
• Contact forms;
• Search fields; and
• Other unrelated webpage inputs.

Gearspire is also not intended to operate as a keystroke logger.

Gearspire is not intended to use gear sizes, rotational speeds, simulation patterns, or interface interactions for targeted advertising.

Simulation controls are functional values used to provide the extension experience.

Gearspire does not operate as a data brokerage service.

Functional simulation values are not intended to be sold to advertisers, marketing organizations, or data brokers.

Gearspire is not designed to use gear settings or simulation behavior to build behavioral or demographic profiles of individual users.

Choosing a particular gear size or speed is not intended to be treated as evidence of unrelated personal characteristics.

Gearspire is not designed to track users across unrelated websites.

Cross-site tracking is unnecessary for a gear simulation provided through the extension's own toolbar popup.

Gearspire does not require advertising cookies to provide its core simulation functionality.

Websites independently visited by users may use their own cookies. Those technologies are governed by the policies of the respective websites.

Gearspire does not require personally identifiable analytics data in order to render or tune its gears.

If future versions materially introduce diagnostic or aggregate usage measurement, this Privacy Policy may be updated to explain the relevant practices.

Gearspire is designed around the principle that extensions should process only information reasonably necessary for their disclosed purpose.

Since Gearspire's purpose is to provide an interactive gear simulation, unrelated personal and browsing information is not necessary for standard use.

Information processed by Gearspire is intended to be used only to provide, maintain, improve, or secure the extension's disclosed simulation features.

Gear-control values are not intended to be repurposed for unrelated surveillance, credit scoring, employment screening, insurance decisions, advertising profiling, or data brokerage.

Gearspire is not designed to maintain an unnecessary permanent remote archive of every gear configuration created by users.

Temporary simulation state may exist while Gearspire is running so that gears can be rendered and animated correctly.

Locally stored functional preferences, if used, may remain until changed, cleared, or removed through browser controls.

Gearspire is designed to minimize unnecessary handling of user information.

Keeping the extension focused on simulation parameters helps reduce unnecessary privacy and security exposure.

However, no browser extension, operating system, browser, device, network, or electronic environment can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Gearspire does not need to continuously monitor unrelated browsing activity in order to provide its gear simulation.

Its standard user experience is centered on the toolbar popup and the controls within that popup.

Gearspire automatically performs graphical and mathematical operations necessary to display rotating gears.

These may include rotation calculations, animation timing, dimension updates, position calculations, and rendering.

This automated processing is limited to simulation functionality and is not used to make significant decisions concerning users.

Gearspire is intended as an interactive visual experience rather than a professional mechanical-engineering tool.

Visual relationships, rotation speeds, gear interactions, and other simulation behaviors may be simplified for usability and presentation.

Gearspire is designed for interactive experimentation, visualization, creative exploration, and entertainment.

Users may test different gear-size and speed combinations to observe visually interesting rhythmic spins.

Gearspire may be installed while users browse third-party websites, but those websites remain independent from the extension.

This Privacy Policy does not govern their cookies, analytics systems, tracking technologies, or privacy practices.

Gearspire operates within a browser environment supplied by a browser vendor.

Browser vendors may independently process technical information associated with installation, security, extension updates, crash reporting, or browser operation according to their own policies.

If Gearspire is distributed through the Chrome Web Store or another browser extension marketplace, installation and update processes may be managed by that platform.

Gearspire is intended to use browser capabilities only for functionality directly related to its disclosed simulation purpose.

Gearspire is a general-purpose visual simulation and is not specifically designed for the purpose of collecting personal information from children.

Standard functionality does not require users to create a dedicated personal account.

Gearspire may be available to users in different countries and regions.

The extension is designed to minimize unnecessary processing of personal information regardless of the user's location.

Users remain responsible for using Gearspire in accordance with applicable laws in their jurisdiction.

Users control when Gearspire is opened and how the simulation is configured.

Users can modify gear sizes, change rotational speeds, reset the simulation, close the toolbar popup, or stop using the extension at any time.

If Gearspire uses browser storage for simulation settings, users may be able to clear those values through browser extension-management or data controls.

Clearing extension data may return saved gear settings to their default values.

Users may disable or uninstall Gearspire at any time through the browser's extension management interface.

After removal, Gearspire will no longer operate within that browser.

Gear-size selections, speed settings, tower arrangements, and simulation patterns are not intended to be used to create unrelated marketing databases or behavioral advertising audiences.

Gearspire may evolve over time to improve simulation behavior, gear controls, animation quality, visual design, accessibility, performance, or browser compatibility.

Future features may remain consistent with the extension's interactive gear-tuning purpose.

If a future release materially changes how user information is accessed, processed, stored, or shared, this Privacy Policy may be updated accordingly.

This Privacy Policy may be revised periodically to reflect changes to Gearspire, browser marketplace requirements, technical implementation, privacy practices, or applicable laws.

When changes are made, the "Last updated" date displayed on this page will be revised.

Information may be disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, court order, legal process, or a valid governmental request.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to prevent compliance with applicable legal obligations.

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or Gearspire's privacy practices, please contact the developer using the contact information provided on the extension's official browser store listing or official website.

Please do not include passwords, payment credentials, authentication tokens, government identification numbers, or other unnecessary sensitive information in privacy-related communications.

By installing or using Gearspire, you acknowledge that you have had an opportunity to review this Privacy Policy.

If you do not wish to use Gearspire under the practices described in this policy, you may discontinue use and uninstall the extension from your browser.
