We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data.

3. Hosting

This website is hosted by Vercel Inc., 440 N Baxter St, Coppell, TX 75019, USA. When you visit our website, certain information is automatically stored in server log files that your browser transmits automatically. This includes:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • IP address of the accessing device
  • Time of the server request

Data transfer to the USA is carried out on the basis of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the stable and secure provision of the website).

4. Local storage (localStorage)

We use your browser's localStorage to save the following settings locally on your device:

  • Theme preference (light/dark) — to display your preferred view
  • Colour palette — custom colours in the editor

This data is stored exclusively in your browser and is not transmitted to us or any third parties. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a user-friendly presentation).

5. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We have activated IP anonymisation. This means that your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Opt-out: You can prevent data collection by Google Analytics by downloading the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

For more information, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy.

6. Vercel Analytics

This website uses Vercel Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookieless web analytics service provided by Vercel Inc., 440 N Baxter St, Coppell, TX 75019, USA. Vercel Analytics does not use cookies and does not collect personal data that could identify individual visitors. The following aggregated data is collected:

  • Page URL and referrer URL
  • Browser and operating system
  • Device type
  • Country of origin (derived from IP address, which is not stored)

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in analysing website usage to improve our services).

Data transfer to the USA is carried out on the basis of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. For more information, please refer to the Vercel Privacy Policy.

7. Editor usage statistics

When you use the in-browser editor to load an SVG/SVGHMI file or export a .svghmi file, we log an anonymized event to our own server (Upstash Redis, hosted in the EU) so that we can measure aggregate usage of the editor. The following data is stored:

  • Event type (upload or export) and server-side timestamp
  • A random session identifier (UUID generated in your browser, kept only in sessionStorage and discarded when you close the tab)
  • On upload: the file extension (.svg or .svghmi), file size in bytes, and a SHA-256 hash of the file name (the original name is never stored)
  • On export: the number of bindings, a count per binding type, and the SHA-256 hash of the exported file name
  • The time between upload and export within the same session (to measure editing duration)

We do not store IP addresses, user agents, or the SVG content itself. Because file names are hashed, we cannot recover them. Your session UUID is not linked to any other identifier.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in measuring product usage to improve the editor).

8. Newsletter / mailing list

If you subscribe to our newsletter or join our waitlist, your email address will be used to send you information about DynSVG, product updates, and launch notifications. We use the service Brevo (Sendinblue SAS), 106 boulevard Haussmann, 75008 Paris, France for delivery.

9. SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
