Privacy

MC Painting Maker is a free, browser-based tool. This page explains in plain words what happens to your data when you use it, no legal filler.

Who runs this site

Fabrizio La Rosa, Belgian VAT BE1031214819, based in Ghent, Belgium. You can reach me by opening an issue on the project repository or by writing to the email below.

What I do NOT collect

No tracking or advertising cookies.
No Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or advertising trackers.
No accounts, no logins.
No newsletter, no mailing lists.
No image uploads. Your pictures never leave the browser.

What I measure, and how

To know how many people use the tool and which pages get traffic, I use Simple Analytics, a European service (Netherlands) built specifically not to profile anyone. What it collects:

Number of visits per page.
Which site you came from (referrer), if any.
Country, device type, browser, in aggregate form.

What it does NOT collect:

No cookies.
No ID or fingerprint that follows you across sessions or sites.
No stored IP address.
No personal data.

That's why the site has no consent banner: there's nothing to ask your permission for.

A technical note: even if you have Do Not Track turned on in your browser, visits still get counted. The DNT signal asks not to be profiled; here there's no profiling to turn off, so excluding privacy-conscious readers would skew aggregate numbers.

On top of page views, the same Simple Analytics pipeline receives a small set of aggregate counters of in-app actions, with no user identifier attached:

Number of paintings added to a project, with the source channel (drag-and-drop, in-app Add images button, system share sheet, system file association).
Number of .mcaddon archives built locally and number of paintings per archive.
Number of JSON project exports and imports, each with the painting count.
Generic failure counters for build and import (categorical reason tag only, no error messages, no filenames).
PWA installability availability and PWA install completion events.

These counters carry no user ID, no session ID, no IP, no fingerprint, no filenames, and no image content.

Cloudflare in front of the site

The site sits behind Cloudflare as a reverse proxy for global speed and abuse protection. Cloudflare sees your IP address necessarily and keeps standard access logs for technical and security purposes. It doesn't use cookies for profiling, except rarely in anti-bot scenarios with very short-lived technical cookies.

What stays on your browser

MC Painting Maker is built to run entirely on your machine. Everything you do here lives in your browser:

The images you import, their names, canvas sizes, and transforms.
Pack metadata: name, namespace, version, icon, creative group.
The UUIDs assigned to your pack.

All of this is stored in localStorage so you can pick up where you left off when you reopen the tab. It never leaves your browser. It doesn't reach me, or any third party, or any external service. The .mcaddon archive is also built locally in your browser and downloaded directly; no upload happens at any step.

You can wipe everything by clearing the site's storage in your browser settings, or by removing the paintings one by one from the sidebar.

If you write to me

There's no contact form on this site. To report bugs, request features, or ask questions, open an issue on the GitHub repository. For anything private, write to . Messages land in my personal email and are used only for replying, with no forwarding, list additions, or secondary uses.
