Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Wplace.style (wplace.style), an independent informational website that serves as your complete guide to wplace.live, featuring tools, resources, and comprehensive information about the collaborative pixel art platform. Please note that wplace.style is NOT the same as wplace.live - we are a separate informational website created to help users understand and use the wplace.live platform.

At Wplace.style, your privacy is of utmost importance to us. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our services.

Privacy Overview

Wplace.style is designed with privacy as a fundamental principle. Our tools process everything locally in your browser whenever possible, meaning your images and sensitive data typically never leave your device.

Data We DON'T Collect

• Your uploaded images (processed locally in your browser)
• Personal account details or profiles
• Detailed behavioral analytics or tracking
• Advertising or tracking cookies
• Generated pixel art or downloaded files
• Precise location data

Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum data necessary to provide and improve our services:

Local Browser Data

• Language Preference: Stored locally in your browser to remember your language choice
• Tool Settings: User preferences for our tools (stored locally)

Basic Usage Information

• Tool Usage: Information about which tools you use and how frequently (anonymized)
• Device Information: Basic device type, operating system, and browser type for compatibility

We use minimal, functional cookies to enhance your experience. These help us remember your preferences and improve site functionality. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

How Your Data is Processed

Client-Side Processing

When you use our image conversion tools, your images are processed entirely within your web browser:

• Images never get uploaded to our servers
• Processing happens using your browser's computing power
• Files stay completely local to your device
• Downloads are generated directly in your browser

Server-Side Operations

Our servers only store static files needed to run the application (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). We analyze usage patterns in aggregate to improve our tools and resources about wplace.live.

Data Storage and Security

We implement various security measures to protect your information:

• HTTPS Encryption: All connections to our website are encrypted
• Minimal Data Collection: Less data means fewer privacy risks
• Secure Storage: Any collected data is stored securely with access controls
• Local Processing: Most sensitive operations happen on your device

While we implement strong security measures, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information.

Third-Party Services

• Content Delivery Networks: We may use CDNs for faster loading, subject to their privacy policies
• Web Hosting: Our website is hosted by trusted providers who may collect basic technical information
• Analytics: We may use privacy-focused analytics to understand usage patterns

Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to outside parties, except:

• To comply with legal obligations or lawful requests from authorities
• To protect our rights, property, safety, or that of our users
• Through trusted third-party partners who assist in operating our website (subject to confidentiality agreements)

Children's Privacy

Since we don't collect personal information and most processing is client-side, children can use our tools safely. However, we recommend parental guidance for users under 13.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Use our service anonymously
• Clear your browser's local storage at any time
• Contact us with privacy concerns

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. 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. Please review this policy periodically.
