Privacy Policy

How Square Face Generator handles information and protects your privacy
Juli 12, 2026

Effective date: July 12, 2026

1. About This Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the website operator of Square Face Generator ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you visit squarefacegen.org or use the avatar generator and related website features (collectively, the "Service").

Square Face Generator is a free, browser-based avatar maker. The public Service does not require account registration or payment.

2. Information We Handle

Avatars You Create

Avatar customization and downloading are performed in your browser. The public generator does not intentionally upload your finished avatar to our servers, and we do not claim ownership of the avatar you create.

Your browser or device may retain a downloaded copy when you choose to save an avatar. You control that local file.

Information You Provide Voluntarily

If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your email address, message, and any attachments. We use it to respond to your request, provide support, and protect the Service.

Please do not send sensitive personal information that is not necessary for your request.

Technical and Usage Information

When you access the Service, our hosting, content-delivery, security, or analytics providers may automatically process limited technical information, including:

  • IP address and approximate location derived from it
  • Browser type, device type, operating system, and language
  • Pages visited, referring page, timestamps, and basic interaction events
  • Request, error, performance, and security logs

We use this information to deliver the website, maintain compatibility and security, understand aggregate usage, diagnose errors, and prevent abuse.

3. Cookies and Browser Storage

The Service may use cookies or browser storage for essential and preference-related purposes, such as remembering your language choice, maintaining basic site functionality, measuring aggregate usage, or preserving referral information.

You can block or delete cookies and site data through your browser settings. Some preferences or features may not work as expected afterward.

4. Third-Party Services

Ruffle

The avatar generator uses the open-source Ruffle web player. Its runtime files are delivered as part of the Service's website assets and do not require your browser to request them from jsDelivr or another public Ruffle CDN.

Analytics and Hosting

We may use hosting, performance, security, or privacy-conscious analytics providers to operate and improve the Service. Depending on our configuration, these providers may process technical and usage information on our behalf or under their own privacy terms. We do not use the Service to sell your personal information.

Share buttons and other links may take you to third-party websites or applications. Those services may collect information when you visit or interact with them. Their privacy practices are not controlled by this Policy, so you should review their policies before using them.

5. How and Why We Use Information

We process information only as reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide, operate, maintain, and secure the Service
  • Load the avatar generator and deliver website assets
  • Remember settings and improve usability
  • Measure aggregate traffic and performance
  • Diagnose technical issues and prevent misuse
  • Respond to messages and support requests
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on providing the Service you request, our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the Service, your consent where requested, and compliance with legal obligations.

6. Sharing and Disclosure

We may share limited information with service providers that support hosting, content delivery, analytics, security, and communications. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, investigate abuse, protect users or the public, or defend our rights.

We do not sell or rent personal information. If the Service or its operation is transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or asset sale, relevant information may be transferred subject to appropriate safeguards.

7. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including support, security, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. Retention periods vary by data type and provider. Technical logs are generally retained for a limited operational period, while support correspondence may be kept longer when needed to resolve an issue or maintain records.

Because generated avatars are processed locally, we do not maintain a server-side library of avatars created through the public generator.

8. Data Security and International Processing

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we handle. No online service, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Our service providers may process information in countries or regions other than your own. Where required, we take reasonable steps to use providers and safeguards consistent with applicable privacy law.

9. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction on certain personal information, or to object to or withdraw consent for certain processing. These rights may be subject to legal exceptions.

You can also:

  • Manage cookies and site data in your browser
  • Avoid using third-party share links
  • Contact us to ask a privacy question or make a request

We may need enough information to verify and process a request. You may also have the right to contact your local data-protection authority.

10. Children's Privacy

Square Face Generator is a general-audience creative tool and is not designed to collect personal information from children.

Children under 13 should use the Service only with the consent, supervision, and guidance of a parent or legal guardian. Because the generator requires fine motor control and an understanding of interactive controls, it is not recommended for children under 3.

Parents and guardians should help children avoid sharing personal information through email, share links, or other external services. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes to the Service, our practices, or applicable requirements. We will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date. Material changes may be communicated through an additional notice when appropriate.
