This website is hosted by IONOS, with servers located in Germany. When visiting the website, IONOS automatically collects the following technical data:

• Date and time of the server request
• Browser type/version and operating system

The interaction serves solely to answer your request. No data is stored permanently by Sam Saket Studio. For more information about how OpenAI processes data, please refer to their privacy policy: openai.com/privacy
