Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense. Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to serve personalized advertisements based on your interests.

A cookie is a small text file sent to your device by a web server that enables the website to remember information about your browsing activity. First-party cookies are created by the site you are visiting, while third-party cookies are set by domains other than the one you're visiting. Google and its partners may place third-party cookies, tags, beacons, pixels, and similar technologies to monitor interactions with advertisements and optimize ad targeting. Please note that disabling cookies may limit access to certain content and features on the website, and rejecting cookies does not eliminate advertisements but will result in non-personalized advertising.

The following information may be collected, used, and stored in a cookie when serving personalized ads:

IP address
Operating system type and version
Device type
Language preferences
Web browser type
Email (in a hashed or encrypted form)

Google and its partners may use this data in combination with information that has been independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements across various platforms and websites. Google's partners may also gather additional data, such as unique IDs, advertising IDs, geolocation data, usage data, device information, traffic data, referral sources, and interactions between users and websites or advertisements, to create audience segments for targeted advertising across different devices, browsers, and apps.

Your Privacy is Our Priority

This Privacy Policy explains how VoxelDraft ("we", "us", "the Service") collects, uses, and protects your information. We are committed to transparency and minimal data collection.

🔒 Privacy-First Design: Most of your data never leaves your device!

1. Information We Collect

A. Data Stored Locally (On Your Device Only)

The following data is stored in your browser's local storage and NEVER sent to our servers:

• Your 3D voxel models and designs
• Editor preferences (selected colors, language, brush settings)
• Undo/redo history
• Project names and organization

ℹ️ This data is private to you and can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser cache. WE CANNOT ACCESS OR RECOVER THIS DATA.

B. Data Sent to Our Servers (Gallery Only)

When you upload to the public gallery, we collect:

• Your voxel model data (JSON format)
• Optional thumbnail image (if provided)
• Author name (you provide this - can be pseudonymous)
• Title, description, and tags (optional)
• Upload timestamp
• IP address (hashed for abuse prevention, not stored in plain text)
• View counts and like interactions (anonymous)

✅ C. What We DO NOT Collect

• Email addresses or contact information (unless you contact us)
• Payment information (Service is 100% free)
• User accounts or login credentials (Service requires no registration)
• Tracking cookies or advertising identifiers
• Precise geolocation data
• Your locally stored projects (unless you upload to gallery)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected data (from gallery uploads only) for:

• Displaying your creations in the public gallery
• Enabling community features (likes, views, tags)
• Moderating content and enforcing our Terms of Service
• Preventing abuse, spam, and fraudulent uploads (via hashed IP)

❌ WE DO NOT SELL, RENT, OR SHARE YOUR DATA WITH THIRD PARTIES FOR MARKETING.

3. Your Data Rights (GDPR & Privacy Laws)

Right to Access

You can view all gallery content you've uploaded. Locally stored data is accessible via your browser's developer tools (Storage > Local Storage).

Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")

You can delete locally stored data by clearing browser storage. For gallery content removal, contact us at [email protected] with the gallery item ID. We will delete within 30 days unless legally required to retain.

Right to Data Portability

Export your local projects as JSON files anytime. For gallery uploads, contact us for a data export (JSON format).

Right to Object

You can object to processing of your gallery uploads by requesting removal. Local processing happens entirely on your device under your control.

6. Sharing via Links

The "Share" feature encodes your voxel model directly into the URL (using compression). This means:

⚠️ ⚠️ Warning: Anyone with the share link can view your model. Share links carefully.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is safe for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has uploaded personal information to the gallery (e.g., real name, photo), we will delete it immediately. Parents: please supervise children's use of the gallery upload feature.

8. Data Security

We use HTTPS encryption and security best practices.

9. Data Retention

• Local data: Stored indefinitely in your browser until you clear it

• Gallery uploads: Stored until you request deletion or we remove for Terms violations

• Server logs: Hashed IP addresses retained for 90 days for abuse prevention

• Inactive gallery content (no views for 2+ years) may be archived or deleted with 30 days notice

10. International Data Transfers

The Service is hosted on Cloudflare's global network. Your gallery uploads may be stored on servers in various countries for performance. By using the Service, you consent to this international transfer. We ensure adequate protection in compliance with GDPR and privacy laws.

11. Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified via the Service interface (banner notification). Continued use after changes indicates acceptance. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates when changes were made. Please review periodically.
