Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 14, 2026

Summary: Your artwork and project files are processed 100% in your browser and never uploaded to our servers. We use Google Analytics and Google AdSense cookies for analytics and advertising.

1. Who We Are (Data Controller)

PixelPad Pro is operated independently and can be contacted at viniciusserra63@gmail.com. We are responsible for the data processing described in this policy. This policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the Brazilian Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD).

2. Your Artwork & Local Storage (No Server Upload)

PixelPad Pro is a client-side (browser-based) application. This means that we do not upload, store, transmit, or process your drawings, animations, or project files on our servers. All image rendering, layer compositing, and project saving (.pxl files) happens locally on your device using JavaScript running in your browser.

We use your browser's localStorage solely to save your cookie consent preference. We have no access to this data.

3. Data We Collect Automatically

When you visit PixelPad Pro, we collect anonymous, aggregated data via Google Analytics (GA4), including:

Pages visited and features used
Device type, operating system, and browser version
Country or region of origin (we do not collect your full IP address)
Session duration and navigation path

This data is anonymous and cannot identify you individually. It is used solely to understand how users interact with the editor and to improve the product.

4. Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.
You may also opt out via the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
For more, see Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Cookies We Use

Analytics cookies (Google Analytics): anonymous traffic measurement.
Advertising cookies (Google AdSense / DoubleClick DART): used to personalize ads based on browsing behavior.
Preference cookies: store your cookie consent choice in your browser's localStorage. We cannot access this data remotely.

By clicking "Accept" in our cookie banner, you consent to the use of analytics and advertising cookies as described above.

7. Data Retention

We do not store personal data on our own servers. Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months (the minimum configurable period in GA4) and then automatically deleted. Your artwork and projects exist only on your local device.

8. Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:

Google Analytics — traffic analysis
