Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 22, 2025

1. Data Collection & Storage

PinePaper Studio is a client-side application. We do not collect, transmit, or store your creations, images, imported SVGs, or any design files on our servers. All processing happens locally within your browser.

What this means:

• Your designs never leave your device unless you explicitly export them
• No cloud storage or server-side processing
• No account registration required
• Complete control over your creative work

2. Local Storage

We use your browser's Local Storage to save preferences and enhance your experience. This includes:

• UI theme preferences (light/dark mode)
• Last used tool and settings
• Language preference
• Saved designs (if you use the save feature)

This data never leaves your device. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings or by using the "Clear Data" option in PinePaper.

3. Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the tool is used and to improve performance. The analytics data we collect is:

• Anonymous: No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected
• Aggregate: We see usage patterns, not individual user activities
• Technical: Browser type, screen resolution, general location (country level)
• Behavioral: Which features are used, export formats chosen, time spent

We do NOT track or store the content of your designs, the text you write, or the images you import.

4. AI Agents & API Usage

If you use an AI agent (like Claude, ChatGPT, or other assistants) to interact with PinePaper Studio through our API, please note:

• The data exchange occurs between your browser and the AI agent provider
• PinePaper Studio does not intercept, log, or store these API interactions
• Your AI provider's privacy policy governs how they handle your requests
• All design work still happens locally in your browser

Future MCP Integration: When we launch Model Context Protocol (MCP) support, the same privacy principles will apply. MCP communication will be direct between your browser and your chosen AI assistant.

5. Language & Localization Data

PinePaper Studio supports 41 languages. Your language preference may be stored in Local Storage or detected from your browser settings. We do not collect or analyze:

• The content you write in any language
• Your specific linguistic patterns or writing style
• Personal information based on language selection

6. Cookies

We use minimal cookies for:

• Google Analytics: Anonymous usage tracking (can be blocked with browser extensions)
• Language preference: Remember your chosen language across visits

We do NOT use cookies for:

• Advertising or tracking across websites
• User profiling or behavioral targeting
• Third-party marketing purposes

7. Third-Party Services

PinePaper Studio integrates with the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics: Analytics and performance monitoring (Privacy Policy)
• UserJot: Feedback and feature requests (Privacy Policy)
• Cloudflare: CDN and performance optimization (Privacy Policy)

8. Exported Files

When you export your designs as WebM, SVG, PNG, or GIF files:

• Files are generated entirely in your browser
• Downloads go directly to your device
• We never see, store, or have access to these exported files
• What you do with exported files is entirely under your control

9. Data Retention

Since we don't collect personal data or store your designs on our servers, there is no data retention period for your creative work. Local Storage data persists in your browser until you clear it.

Anonymous analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' standard retention policies.

10. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access: View what data is stored in your browser's Local Storage
• Delete: Clear all local data at any time via browser settings
• Opt-out: Block Google Analytics with browser extensions like uBlock Origin
• Export: Export your designs at any time in multiple formats

11. Children's Privacy

PinePaper Studio does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal data, the tool can be safely used by students and young creators under parental supervision.

12. International Users

PinePaper Studio is available globally in 41 languages. Since all processing happens in your browser, your data never crosses international borders through our service. Your exports remain on your device unless you choose to upload them elsewhere.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be announced on the main page. Continued use of PinePaper Studio after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
