Graffiti Generator

Privacy notice

We wrote this policy to explain, without legal padding, how Graffiti Generator treats information about the people who use the graffiti generator on graffiti-generator.net. It covers the tool itself, the guides and every other page on graffiti-generator.net.

Summary

The site and its operator

Graffiti Generator is a free online graffiti generator published at graffiti-generator.net. For anything related to this policy, you can write to the site's operator at [email protected]. The operator is the “controller” of that data in the sense used by the GDPR.

What information is collected

Nothing on graffiti-generator.net requires an account, which means we hold no profiles, passwords or billing information. The tool's code runs in your browser, so the values you type into the graffiti generator stay on your device. What we and our service providers do receive is technical: request logs, usage statistics and advertising data, explained in the sections that follow.

Cookies and tracking technologies

A cookie is a small piece of data that a site, or a service used by the site, stores in your browser, and similar technologies include pixels and local storage. Graffiti Generator does not set cookies of its own for the graffiti generator to work; the cookies you may see come from the analytics and advertising services described below. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies, and doing so will not stop the graffiti generator from working.

Visitor statistics

Two analytics tools run on the site: Yandex Metrica, provided by Yandex, and Microsoft Clarity, provided by Microsoft. These services record pages visited, time on page, the site you came from, device and browser type and an approximate location based on your IP address. We also use their session replay and heatmap features, which show clicks, scrolling and pointer movement, to see which parts of the graffiti generator are hard to use.

The data is handled by Yandex and Microsoft in line with their own privacy terms, and both use cookies to tell visits apart. We use these reports to improve the site, not to identify you.

Advertising partners

We show advertising on graffiti-generator.net to cover the cost of running the site. The ads are supplied by third-party ad networks, which may set cookies and use device data, such as your IP address and browser details, to choose ads and measure how they perform.

Where permitted, networks may personalise ads using your browsing on other sites as well as this one. Your tool inputs are never shared with ad networks, which process their own data under their own privacy terms. You can opt out of personalised ads from many networks at optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu, and you can block third-party cookies in your browser.

Server logs

Each time a page is requested, the web server writes an entry to its logs, as web servers normally do. An entry contains your IP address, your browser's user agent, the time of the request, the page requested and the referring page. Their purpose is security, error diagnosis and aggregate statistics.

Legal grounds under the GDPR

For visitors in the EEA and the UK, the legal bases are:

Your choices and rights

Data protection law in many places gives you rights over your data: access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability and the right to object. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Since the site has no user accounts, we can usually find data about you only if you give us details like your IP address and the time of your visit. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular where you live or work. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected].

How long data is kept

We keep information only as long as it is needed: server logs are deleted on a rolling basis after a limited period, unless an entry is needed to investigate an attack or abuse. Yandex, Microsoft and the ad networks apply their own retention periods. Emails you send us are kept as long as needed to deal with your message and any follow-up.

Processing outside your country

Data collected through graffiti-generator.net may be processed by service providers located in other countries. The level of legal protection there may differ from that of your home country.

California (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, gives you the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense: we never hand over visitor data for money. However, letting ad networks use cookies for personalised advertising may count as “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising under California law. To opt out, enable Global Privacy Control in a browser that supports it, block third-party cookies in your browser settings, or email us. We will not treat you differently for exercising these rights.

Children's privacy

The site is meant for a general audience and is not aimed at children under 13 (under 16 in the EEA and UK). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If a child has given us personal information, for instance in an email, please let us know so that we can delete it.

How we protect data

The site is served over HTTPS, so traffic between your browser and graffiti-generator.net is encrypted. Only those who run the site can access the server and its logs. No method is completely secure, but what you enter into the graffiti generator never reaches our server.

Changes to this policy

We update this page when our practices change, for example when we add or remove a service. The text on this page is the version in force.
