Privacy & Data Protection

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 15, 2024 • Last Updated: July 2026

Key Privacy Commitments

  • Client-Side Processing: All 3D skin editing and artwork mutations remain inside your web browser.
  • No Required Accounts: No registration, email addresses, or personal passwords are required.
  • Local Storage Autosave: Draft textures autosave locally in your browser's localStorage API.
  • AdSense Compliance: Transparent cookie choices managed in accordance with Google Privacy Standards.

1. Information We Collect & Process

We prioritize user anonymity and minimal data retention. Depending on how you interact with our website, we process the following non-personally identifiable technical information:

  • Client-Side Canvas Data: When you paint, draw, or edit a Minecraft skin texture, all image manipulation occurs strictly within your browser's HTML5 <canvas> memory. We never transmit your artwork drafts to remote servers.
  • Minecraft Username Queries: When using our Skin Grabber tool to fetch player skins (e.g., Notch, Dream), your query sends a request to public Mojang API endpoints to fetch the official .png texture file.
  • Server & Network Analytics Logs: Standard web server log files automatically record your browser type, operating system, referrer URL, IP address, and timestamp for network security and DDoS mitigation.

2. Cookies & Google AdSense Advertisements

This site displays third-party advertisements served via Google AdSense to ensure our 3D Skin Studio remains free for all users worldwide.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites across the Internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalized or contextual ads to users based on their visit history.

Your Advertising Choices & Opt-Out Rights:

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

3. GDPR (European Economic Area) & CCPA Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), users residing in the European Economic Area or California hold explicit rights regarding data access, deletion, and transparency:

  • Right to Access: Request details on collected analytical logs.
  • Right to Erasure: Clear your browser's localStorage API at any time to delete all locally saved skin drafts.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We provide identical high-quality 3D studio features regardless of privacy choices.

4. Data Security & Children's Privacy (COPPA)

We strictly comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Because we do not collect personal identifiable information, account registrations, or real names, our service is safe for Minecraft players of all ages.
