Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 5, 2025

Privacy Overview

Wplace Tool is designed with privacy as a fundamental principle. Unlike many web applications, our tool processes everything locally in your browser, meaning your images and data never leave your device.

This privacy policy explains how we handle your information and what measures we take to protect your privacy while using our service.

Data We DON'T Collect

  • Your uploaded images - they never leave your browser
  • Personal information or account details
  • Usage tracking or behavioral analytics
  • Tracking cookies or advertising cookies
  • IP addresses or location data
  • Generated pixel art or downloaded files

Minimal Data Collection

We only collect the absolute minimum data necessary to provide our service:

  • Language Preference: Stored locally in your browser to remember your language choice
  • Technical Logs: Basic server logs for security and performance monitoring (no personal data)
  • Error Reports: Anonymous error logs to improve service reliability

How Your Data is Processed

Client-Side Processing

When you upload an image, it is processed entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. The image file:

  • Never gets uploaded to our servers
  • Never gets transmitted over the internet
  • Stays completely local to your device
  • Is processed using your browser's computing power

Downloads

When you download your processed pixel art, the file is generated directly in your browser and saved to your device. No copies are stored on our servers.

Data Storage

Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage only to remember your language preference. This data:

  • Stays on your device
  • Is not shared with our servers
  • Can be cleared by you at any time
  • Contains no personal information

Server Storage

Our servers store only the static files needed to run the application (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, language files). We do not store any user-generated content or personal data.

Security Measures

  • HTTPS Encryption: All connections to our website are encrypted
  • No Server Processing: Since we don't process images on servers, there's no risk of server-side data breaches
  • Open Source: Our code is publicly available for security review
  • Minimal Attack Surface: Less data collection means fewer privacy risks

Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, many traditional privacy rights don't apply. However, you can:

  • Clear your browser's local storage to remove language preferences
  • Use our service completely anonymously
  • Review our open-source code on GitHub
  • Contact us with any privacy concerns

Children's Privacy

Our service doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Since all processing is client-side, children can use our tool safely without any data collection concerns.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Since we don't collect contact information, we cannot notify users directly of changes.
