Privacy

# Your pictures stay on your device

In short: Puzzle Dotter collects nothing about you or your children. Pictures are processed in your browser and never uploaded.

## Pictures

When you choose, drop or paste a picture, your browser reads it and a background worker inside the same browser tab processes it. The picture is not sent to any server, not stored, and not shared with anyone. It is gone when you close or reload the page. Downloads are made in your browser too and go straight to your own device.

## Children

Children may colour, draw and solve the printouts, and sometimes use the tools themselves, so the site is built to collect nothing: there are no accounts, no forms that send information, no cookies, no adverts and no tracking.

## What is stored in your browser

Only two optional settings, saved in your browser's local storage on this device and never sent anywhere:

| Key | What it holds | When it is saved |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `puzzledotter-theme` | `light` or `dark` | When you pick Light or Dark with the theme button. Choosing Auto removes it. |
| `puzzledotter-paper` | `a4` or `letter` | When you change the Paper setting in any tool. |

To clear them, delete this site's data in your browser's settings (often under Privacy or Site settings), or use a private window, where nothing is kept after you close it.

## Visit counts

The site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which Cloudflare adds to every page, to count page views. It does not use cookies, does not track you across other sites, and never receives what you type, paste or drop into the tools.

## Links to other sites

The footer and the home page link to other websites, including CleanTempMail and WebTraceCheck. Their own privacy policies apply once you visit them.
