Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-22

UARTSIFARTSI ("the site") is a public, community-named enumeration of small black-and-white pixel images. This policy explains what we collect and what you can do about it. Plain language first, legalese only where it has to be.

What we collect

• Account email. If you sign in, we store the email address you use so we can send magic-link sign-in messages and associate your names and favorites with you.
• Content you submit. Names you attach to images, favorites you save, browse-state preferences (grid size, k, filter, jump divisor).
• Moderation reports you file, so we can act on them.
• Request metadata for abuse prevention. Short-lived IP-derived counters used for rate-limiting anonymous discovery calls. We do not build a browsing history from these counters and they age out automatically.
• Error diagnostics. Uncaught errors may be reported to our hosting provider to keep the site working. We do not attach your email or IP to these reports.

Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics, an independent European service hosted in the EU. It counts page views and a few site actions (an image named, a share opened, a donation link clicked) so we know which parts of the site are useful. It is:

• Cookie-free — it stores nothing in your browser and needs no consent banner.
• Free of personal data — no IP address is stored, no persistent identifier is created, and nothing can be traced back to you or followed across other sites.
• Aggregate-only — we see totals, not people. No individual browsing history exists.
• Served from our own domain, so no request from your browser goes to a third party.
• Switched off entirely if your browser sends "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control — the script is never even loaded.

Our statistics are public: anyone can view them at plausible.io/uartsifartsi.org. Plausible's own data policy explains their side. Because no personal data reaches them, there is nothing about you for them to process.

What we do not collect

• No advertising trackers or ad-network cookies.
• No Google Analytics, no ad-tech, no data brokers.
• No cross-site profiling or fingerprinting.
• No selling or sharing of data with anyone, for any purpose.
• No payment information — donations to UNICEF happen entirely on UNICEF's own site.

How we use it

• To let you sign in and to attribute your submissions to you.
• To display community-submitted names publicly on each image.
• To honor moderation reports and remove disallowed content.
• To prevent abuse of unauthenticated endpoints.

What is public

Names you submit are shown publicly on the image they name. Your email address, your favorites, and your browse-state are never shown to other visitors.

Retention

• Account data: kept until you delete your account.
• Submitted names and moderation reports: kept indefinitely as part of the site's public record, unless removed by moderation or by your deletion request.
• Rate-limit counters: automatically deleted on a short rolling schedule.

Third parties

• Hosting & database — Lovable Cloud provides authentication, database, storage, and edge runtime. Data lives on their infrastructure.
• Email delivery — Sign-in and notification emails are sent by our email provider on our behalf.
• Analytics — Plausible Analytics (EU-hosted) receives anonymous, aggregate page-view counts. No personal data is shared with them, so there is nothing about you in their systems.
• Donations — The UNICEF donation button links out to UNICEF. We do not receive donation details.

Your rights

If you are in the EU/EEA, UK, or a jurisdiction with equivalent rules (including California under CCPA), you can:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct anything inaccurate.
• Delete your account and associated personal data.
• Export the data associated with your account.
• Object to processing and withdraw consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, sign in and use the export / delete affordances on your account page, or contact us through the channels on the about page. We respond within 30 days.

Children

The site is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU/EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
