1. Overview & Scope

StudioMotion (accessible at https://studiomotion.vercel.app) is an open-source animation engine, interactive design laboratory, and technical developer documentation platform. We believe in transparency, privacy-first engineering, and minimal data collection.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website, access our interactive playgrounds, or use our open-source JavaScript animation engine. By using StudioMotion, you consent to the practices described in this document.

Key Commitment: StudioMotion does not require user accounts, passwords, or personal identity profiles to use our animation tools, documentation, or code generators. All code generation and spring physics calculations run locally in your client browser.
