About This Application
Cylinder Text Animation ("the application") is a browser-based tool for creating and previewing animated text on a cylinder. The application processes text and settings locally and does not require an account or any other personal information.
Information and Data We Process
The text, animation settings, font choices, and images you select (whether used in place of text or as borders) are used to render the animation in your browser and are not sent to us or to any third party. The application does not collect names, email addresses, account details, location data, or device identifiers.
Saved Presets
If you save a preset, its settings and any selected images, including an image used in place of text or a border image, are stored in your browser's local storage on this device. This data remains under your control: you can delete a preset in the application or remove all application data through your browser's site settings. Presets are not synchronized or transmitted to us.
Installed Fonts
When you choose to load installed fonts, the application uses your browser's Local Font Access capability to read and display installed font family names. The list is processed in your browser and is not sent to us. The application does not read or upload the font files themselves through this feature. Font access is optional and depends on browser support and permission.
Cookies, Analytics, and Third Parties
The application does not use cookies, tracking technologies, advertising, or analytics scripts. It does not sell or share your animation, text, settings, presets, or uploaded images, and does not send them to a server or third party.
Hosting and Network Connections
When online, the application requests suggested web fonts from Google Fonts. Google may receive ordinary request information, such as your IP address and browser details, and its own privacy practices apply. This font request can also occur when the application is opened as a local file. When the application is loaded from a website, that website's host may separately receive ordinary HTTP request information for the requested page and other technical information included in browser requests. Local file use does not involve a hosting provider. These providers' information handling is governed by their own privacy practices, which are outside this policy. Neither request includes your animation, text, settings, presets, or uploaded images.
Data Security and Retention
The last-used settings, including any selected image used in place of text or as a border, are retained in browser local storage automatically. Saved presets, including their images, remain there until you delete them or clear the site's data. JSON exports are created only when you request them and include any selected images. Because processing is local, we do not maintain a copy of your application data.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes to the application or applicable requirements. The revised policy will be included with the application and identified by its updated date.
