Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 15, 2026
EnigmaEasel (“we,” “our,” or “us”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected when you visit or interact with our website, including our design tools, generators, and blog content.
By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
A. Registration-Free Tool Usage
Most features on EnigmaEasel, including the AI Color Palette Generator, Gradient Builder, and Font Pairing tools, are registration-free. We do not require you to create an account or provide personal details to use our core services.
B. Information You Provide Voluntarily
We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it, such as when you:
Create an optional user account: You may choose to sign up to sync your saved palettes and design preferences across different devices.
Contact us: When you reach out via email or our contact forms.
Submit feedback: When you provide suggestions or report bugs to help us improve the tools.
C. Tool Usage and Local Storage
Our design tools operate primarily on the client side (in your browser). To save your palettes, gradients, and preferences, we use Local Storage or IndexedDB.
Data Location: This data is stored locally on your device.
Server Access: This data is never transmitted to our servers.
Control: You can delete this data at any time by clearing your browser cache or settings.
D. Automatically Collected Information
To maintain site security and improve performance, certain non-personal information is collected automatically:
IP address and browser type.
Device information and operating system.
Pages visited and time spent on the site.
E. Donations and External Payments
We do not sell physical or digital products directly on our servers, nor do we store financial data.
Support Buttons: We use third-party services like Gumroad or Buy Me a Coffee for donations and support.
Payment Processing: All payment transactions occur on these external platforms.
Data Privacy: We do not collect or store credit card numbers, billing addresses, or transaction details. Your interaction with these services is governed by their respective privacy policies (e.g., Gumroad’s Privacy Policy).
2. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we process data based on:
Consent: When you voluntarily email us.
Legitimate Interests: Maintaining site security and analyzing aggregate traffic.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Essential Cookies: For basic site functionality.
Analytics: We may use tools like Google Analytics to understand site traffic.
Advertising: If services like Google AdSense are active, they may use cookies to serve relevant ads based on your visit. You can opt out of personalized ads via Google Ad Settings.
4. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location (GDPR in the EU, CCPA in California), you have the right to:
Access the personal data we hold (e.g., your email communications).
Request the deletion of your data.
Opt out of data collection.
Since we do not store tool-generated data (palettes/gradients) on our servers, requests to “delete my palettes” must be performed by you through your browser’s “Clear History/Cache” settings.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption and secure hosting, to protect the limited information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
6. Third-Party Links
Our website contains links to external sites (e.g., GitHub, Gumroad, design resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party websites.
7. Children’s Privacy
EnigmaEasel is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
