Privacy Policy

Data Collection & Storage

PixelForge is committed to your privacy. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information to our servers.

• No Server-Side Data Storage: All user data (skin designs, banner creations, editor history) is stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB.
• No User Accounts: We do not require registration, login, or authentication. No user accounts or session data are stored on our servers.
• Browser-Only Storage: Your creations remain in your browser and are never uploaded to our servers unless you explicitly choose to share them.

Third-Party Services

PixelForge uses the following third-party services:

• Ahrefs Web Analytics: We use Ahrefs Web Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This service collects anonymized usage data (page views, referrers, device types) but does not track personal information.
• Google AdSense: We display ads via Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve relevant ads based on your browsing history. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Mojang API: Our Username Skin Grabber tool makes requests to Mojang's public API to fetch Minecraft skins. These requests only send the username you provide and do not include any personal information.

Cookies & Local Storage

PixelForge uses browser storage mechanisms to enhance your experience:

• IndexedDB: Used to store your skin designs, banner creations, and editor history locally in your browser. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.
• localStorage: Used to store user preferences (e.g., theme settings, animation preferences).
• Third-Party Cookies: Google AdSense and Ahrefs Analytics may set cookies for analytics and advertising purposes.

Data Retention

Since all user data is stored locally in your browser:

• Your data persists only in your browser and is controlled entirely by you.
• Clearing your browser cache or data will delete all stored designs and preferences.
• We have no access to your locally stored data and cannot recover it if lost.

Children's Privacy

PixelForge does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since we do not collect any personal data from any users, our service is safe for all ages.
