1. Introduction
Welcome to Virtual Grid Paper ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any information associated with your use of our online graph-paper drawing application.
2. Information We Collect
Virtual Grid Paper is designed to be client-side first. Most drawing operations, geometry calculations, rendering, and data storage occur locally in your web browser.
3. Information You Provide
When you use Virtual Grid Paper, you create drawings, diagrams, text labels, and geometric shapes. All user-generated content remains stored on your device unless you explicitly choose to export or share your files.
4. Automatically Collected Information
Standard web server logs may automatically record basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and date/time stamps when accessing our web pages.
5. Cookies and Local Storage
We use HTML5 localStorage to preserve your current drawing state, grid preferences, and theme choices (vgp-theme) across browser sessions. This allows you to close and reopen your browser without losing your work. No personal identification data is stored inside these local storage items.
6. How We Use Information
Any technical information gathered is used exclusively to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and optimize the Virtual Grid Paper website performance and user experience.
7. Analytics
Virtual Grid Paper does not currently run third-party invasive behavioral tracking or cross-site fingerprinting scripts.
8. Advertising
We do not display targeted third-party advertising or sell your personal data to ad networks.
9. Third-Party Services
We load web fonts (such as Inter and JetBrains Mono) from public font CDNs (Google Fonts). These services may collect technical request metadata such as your IP address in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
10. Data Retention
Because your drawing data is saved in your own browser's local storage, it persists until you clear your browser cache or reset your local storage data.
11. Data Security
We implement standard security measures, including HTTPS encryption in transit, to protect the transmission of web traffic to and from our site.
12. Children's Privacy
Virtual Grid Paper is a general-audience educational and technical drawing utility. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13.
13. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you have rights regarding access, deletion, and control over any data collected about you. Since drawing data is held locally on your device, you maintain direct control to view or delete it at any time.
14. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party documentation, repositories, or external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any revisions will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
