Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Commitment

At Wplace Paint Tool, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your data. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our pixel art conversion tool.

Information We Don't Collect

Unlike many online tools, Wplace Paint Tool operates with a privacy-first approach:

• We do NOT upload or store your images on our servers
• We do NOT require user registration or login
• We do NOT track your personal information
• We do NOT share data with third parties
• We do NOT use cookies for tracking purposes

How Our Tool Works

Complete Client-Side Processing

When you use Wplace Paint Tool to convert images:

• Images are processed entirely within your web browser using JavaScript and WebGL
• The conversion happens locally on your device
• Processed images are generated and downloaded directly from your browser
• No data transmission to external servers occurs during the conversion process

Temporary Browser Storage

Your browser may temporarily store image data in memory while you're using the tool. This data is:

• Only accessible within your current browser session
• Automatically cleared when you close the tab or refresh the page
• Never transmitted to our servers or any third party

Analytics and Cookies

Essential Functionality

We may use minimal, privacy-respecting analytics to understand general usage patterns and improve our service. This may include:

• Anonymous page view counts
• General geographic regions (country level)
• Browser and device types for compatibility
• No personal identification information

Local Storage

We may use browser local storage to:

• Remember your preferred settings (like color palette preferences)
• Store temporary conversion history during your session
• These preferences remain on your device and can be cleared at any time

Third-Party Services

Our website may include:

• CDN Services: We use content delivery networks to serve static files (CSS, JavaScript libraries) faster
• Font Services: Google Fonts for typography (subject to Google's privacy policy)
• Icon Libraries: Lucide Icons served from CDN

These services may collect minimal technical information (like IP addresses) as part of their standard operation.

Data Security

Since we don't collect or store your images or personal data, the primary security measures involve:

• Using HTTPS encryption for all website communications
• Regular security updates to our codebase
• Following web security best practices
• Open-source transparency for code verification

Children's Privacy

Wplace Paint Tool is designed to be safe for users of all ages. Since we don't collect personal information, children can safely use our tool. However, we recommend parental supervision for users under 13.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, traditional data rights (like access, correction, or deletion requests) don't apply. However, you always have the right to:

• Use our tool anonymously
• Clear your browser cache and local storage at any time
• Choose not to use our service
• Contact us with any privacy concerns

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.

Open Source Commitment

As part of our transparency commitment, our image processing code is open for inspection. You can verify that your images are processed locally and never transmitted to external servers.
