Privacy Policy
Last updated: 30 May 2025
1. Who We Are
PICXEL ("we", "us", "our") operates the website and brick mosaic tool available at this domain. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with your use of our Service.
For privacy-related enquiries, you may contact us at: kapibied@gmail.com
2. The Core Principle: Your Images Never Leave Your Device
All photo processing in the PICXEL tool happens entirely inside your web browser. When you upload an image, it is read by your browser using the local File API and processed using JavaScript running on your own device. Your photos are never transmitted to, received by, or stored on PICXEL's servers.
3. Information We Collect
a) Information you do not provide
We do not collect, store, or process any photographs or personal images you use within the PICXEL tool.
b) Automatically collected technical data
When you visit our website, our hosting provider (Render) may automatically log standard technical information including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, and the date and time of your visit. This data is used solely for operational and security purposes and is not used to identify you personally.
c) No account required
The PICXEL tool does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use its features.
4. Cookies and Local Storage
We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. The PICXEL tool may use your browser's local memory (session storage or memory) to temporarily hold image data during an active session — this data exists only for the duration of your browser session and is never sent to us.
Our hosting provider may set necessary technical cookies for load balancing and security purposes.
5. Third-Party Services
The PICXEL tool loads the following third-party resource:
- Cropper.js — served via the Cloudflare CDN (
cdnjs.cloudflare.com). Cloudflare may log standard access data. Please refer to Cloudflare's privacy policy for details. - Google Fonts — typography is loaded from Google's font service. Google may collect standard request data. Please refer to Google's privacy policy for details.
We do not use any advertising networks, behavioural tracking, or analytics services that identify individual users.
6. Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the following rights regarding personal data:
- Right of access — to request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification — to request correction of inaccurate data.
- Right to erasure — to request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
- Right to restriction — to request we limit how we use your data.
- Right to data portability — to receive your data in a portable format.
- Right to object — to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Because we collect very limited data and no images, most requests will be straightforward to fulfil. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at kapibied@gmail.com.
7. Children's Privacy
Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
8. Data Retention
We do not store your images at all. Server access logs generated by our hosting provider are typically retained for a short period for security and operational purposes, after which they are deleted.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date of the latest revision is shown at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
