Privacy

The short version: your designs never leave your browser, there are no accounts, and I cannot see what you build.

What the planner stores

By default, everything stays in your browser. Designs save themselves to local storage on your own machine as you work. No account, nothing uploaded, and no copy anywhere I can reach. Clearing your browser data deletes them and nobody, me included, can get them back.

Unless you choose to save one online. If you sign in and press Save this design online, that design is stored against your Discord account so it survives a cleared browser and follows you to another machine. Only designs you explicitly save are kept: nothing is uploaded in the background, and autosave stays local. You can delete any of them from the same panel, which removes them for good. I can see them, in the sense that I run the storage, and I do not look at them or do anything with them.

When you use Share, the whole design is encoded into the link itself. The link is not uploaded or registered anywhere; whoever you send it to decodes it in their own browser. If you never send it, it never leaves your machine.

What the site collects

Nothing directly. There is no analytics script, no tracking pixel, no newsletter, and no contact form. I do not know who visits or what they build.

The site is hosted on GitHub Pages, which keeps its own server logs including IP addresses, as any web host does. That is covered by GitHub's privacy statement.

Advertising

This site shows ads from Google AdSense on its article and reference pages. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure those ads, and may personalise them based on your prior visits to this and other sites. That processing is Google's, not mine - I never see it and cannot access it.

You can control or turn off personalised advertising at Google My Ad Center, and read how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, you will be asked for consent before any personalised ads are served, and you can change that choice at any time.

The planner itself carries no ads and loads nothing from Google. It is a single self-contained page and works with no network connection at all.

Designs and feedback you send in

If you submit a design, what gets stored is the design itself, the name you gave it, and the name you asked to be credited under. If you post a comment, the same. Both are public once approved, which is the point of them.

The feedback form is the opposite: nothing sent through it is ever published. It stores what you wrote, which of the four categories you picked, and the contact you gave if you gave one. The contact is only so I can come back to you about it. It is not added to any list, nothing is sent to it automatically, and it is not passed to anyone.

Voting on community designs

Voting needs to stop one person voting a hundred times, and there are no accounts here to do it with. So when you vote, the service stores a one-way hash of your IP address combined with the design id. Your address itself is not stored, is not recoverable from the hash, and is not linked to anything else you do on the site. It is kept for a year so the buttons can show you what you already picked.

Cookies

The site sets no cookies of its own. Google's advertising cookies are described above, and if you are shown the consent banner your answer is stored on your device so you are not asked again on every page. You can reopen that choice and change it at any time from the privacy link the banner leaves behind. Local storage is used for your saved designs and interface preferences, which is not the same thing as a cookie: it is never transmitted anywhere, only read by the page itself.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect anything from them.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes in a way that affects what is collected, the change will be visible in this site's public commit history, which is the whole record of how the site was built. Questions or corrections go through the feedback form.
