- Local Storage: We store your preferences (such as theme settings or visualizer parameters like rotation speed) locally on your device.
- Analytics (Optional): We may use anonymous analytics to understand which crystal structures are viewed most frequently.
3. How We Use Your Data
Any data collected is used solely for:
- Ensuring the website functions correctly on your device.
- Improving the performance of the 3D rendering engine.
- Academic analysis regarding the usage of educational tools.
