Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how StickerMakerz ("we," "our," or "the Platform") handles information when you visit our website, use our online sticker maker, animated GIF/video sticker editor, background remover, and printable sheet generators.

By using StickerMakerz, you acknowledge the terms set forth in this policy. If you do not agree with these principles, please refrain from using our web tools.

2. Zero Server Upload Architecture (Your Content Stays Yours)

Unlike traditional cloud photo editors that force you to upload personal images to remote servers for processing, StickerMakerz executes entirely within your client device:

• Local Memory Access: When you open a photo, video clip, or GIF, the file is read directly into your device's browser memory via HTML5 Canvas, WebGL, WebCodecs, and the FileReader API.
• No Cloud Storage: We do not operate storage buckets or databases containing user-generated artwork. No copies of your creative assets exist outside your device.
• On-Device Machine Learning: Our automated background removal tool utilizes local WebAssembly (Wasm) and ONNX runtimes. The neural network model executes entirely on your computer or mobile phone's CPU/GPU.

3. Information We Collect and Do Not Collect

4. Client-Side Browser Storage (IndexedDB & Cache)

To provide a seamless sticker-making workflow without cloud accounts, StickerMakerz leverages client-side storage technologies built into your web browser:

• IndexedDB: Saves your current sticker projects, canvas states, and sticker collections so you do not lose your work if you accidentally refresh the tab.
• CacheStorage: Caches static background removal models (approx. 30MB) so you only download the AI model once, enabling instant offline background cutouts on subsequent visits.
• LocalStorage: Stores non-sensitive UI settings such as your preferred editor mode (Digital vs. Printable) or grid snapping preferences.

You can delete this stored data at any time by clearing your browser’s cache or site data for stickermakerz.com.

5. Cookies and Third-Party Tracking

StickerMakerz maintains a strict no-invasive-tracking policy. We do not use third-party behavioral advertising cookies, Facebook Pixels, or cross-site tracking scripts. Any cookie utilized on our domain is strictly functional (e.g. security verification, bot protection via Cloudflare).

6. Third-Party Infrastructure Providers

To deliver StickerMakerz with maximum speed and uptime globally, we rely on trusted static hosting and content delivery networks:

• Content Delivery Network (CDN): Provides global edge caching for our static HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and fonts.
• Google Fonts: Web fonts (Inter and JetBrains Mono) are loaded via Google Fonts CDN for optimized visual rendering.

7. International Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)

Because StickerMakerz does not collect, process, or sell personal identifiers or user content, your personal data is protected by design:

• Right to Know & Access: Since we do not retain user files or accounts, we possess no personal dossiers to provide.
• Right to Deletion: All user content is stored on your own device. Clearing your local browser storage immediately deletes all local projects.
• Do Not Sell My Personal Information: We do not sell, rent, or monetize your personal information or media.

8. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

StickerMakerz is a family-friendly creative utility designed for users of all ages. Because we do not require account registration or collect personally identifiable information, our platform complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

9. Data Security

All network communication with StickerMakerz is strictly enforced over modern Transport Layer Security (HTTPS/SSL with HSTS). This ensures that static application code delivered to your browser is authenticated, encrypted, and tamper-free.
