BeforeYouDraw was built with privacy as a core feature, not an afterthought. Below is a plain-language summary followed by the full policy.
Photos you upload are processed entirely in your browser. They never leave your device. We don’t store them. We don’t train models on them. We don’t see them.
BeforeYouDraw is operated by Tokarz Studio (the “Studio,” “we,” or “us”), a sole proprietorship based in Fairport, New York, USA. Contact: hello@beforeyoudraw.com.
None. Photos are processed entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript and WebAssembly (MediaPipe Face Mesh). They are not uploaded to any server. They are not sent over the network. They exist only in your device’s memory while the app is open and are discarded when you close the tab or refresh the page.
If you contact us by email at hello@beforeyoudraw.com, we receive your email address and the contents of your message. We use this information only to respond to you. We do not currently operate a marketing email list. If a marketing list is added in the future, this policy will be updated and any signup will be opt-in.
We use a privacy-respecting analytics service (currently Plausible Analytics; subject to change) to understand how the site and app are used. This service does not use cookies, does not track users across sites, and does not collect personally identifiable information. The data collected includes page views, referring sites, browser, operating system, country (not city), and screen size.
If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the contents of your message. We use this information only to respond to you.
The BeforeYouDraw site does not use tracking cookies. The app may use browser local storage to remember preferences such as your last-used Approach or paper choice. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.
The app loads MediaPipe Face Mesh from a content delivery network (jsDelivr). When the app loads, your browser makes a request to jsDelivr to download the model files. jsDelivr’s privacy practices are governed by their own policy. We do not control or have access to logs from this service.
We use Google Fonts to load the typefaces used on this site. When you load a page, your browser makes a request to Google Fonts. Google’s privacy practices are governed by their own policy.
BeforeYouDraw is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@beforeyoudraw.com and we will delete it.
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, or port your data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@beforeyoudraw.com.
BeforeYouDraw is operated from the United States. If you are accessing the site from outside the US, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when changes were last made. Material changes will be communicated through the website or email.
