Our gradient generation tools operate entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. We do not require you to create an account, provide personal information, or submit any data to our servers to use our tools. Any gradient configurations, color selections, or CSS code you generate remain on your local device and are not transmitted to us.

If you choose to contact us through our contact form, we may collect your name, email address, and the content of your message solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry.

  • Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience and analyze site usage (see Section 3 below)
  • Analytics Data: We use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our site, which pages are most popular, and how users navigate through our tools

4. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services that collect, monitor, and analyze user behavior to help us improve our service:

4.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our site, which pages they visit, and what other sites they used before coming to our site. We use this information to improve our website and tools. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our site, not your name or other identifying information. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4.2 Google AdSense

We may display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

4.3 Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to external websites (such as MDN Web Docs, Dribbble, and Awwwards) for educational and inspirational purposes. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the limited information we collect. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Since our tools operate client-side and we don't store your gradient configurations or personal creative work, your data remains on your device under your control.

6. Children's Privacy

Our website and tools are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete such information.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

  • Access: You have the right to request information about the personal data we hold about you
  • Correction: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Deletion: You have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions

11. International Users

Our website is hosted in the United States. If you access our site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated. Data protection laws in the United States may differ from those in your country of residence.

By using our website, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States and its use as described in this Privacy Policy.

12. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no industry consensus on how to respond to DNT signals. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or other mechanisms that provide the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services.

Summary: We respect your privacy. Our tools work in your browser, and we don't store your creative work. We use analytics and advertising services to keep our tools free. You can contact us anytime with privacy questions or concerns.
