Short, because there is not much to say: the conversion happens on your machine, the site counts its visits only if you let it, and the only thing it keeps is the history of your recent charts, if you have an account.
Last updated: 30 September 2026
The whole conversion (the downscale, the colour choice, the DMC thread matching, drawing the chart) runs on your machine, in your browser. No image is sent to a server to be converted, so there is nothing to keep, nothing to analyse and nothing to lose. Cut your connection once the page has loaded and the conversion still works.
Converting a photo, downloading a chart, browsing the gallery: none of it needs an account and none of it is recorded on the server. Your current settings are kept in your browser's local storage, on your device, so your work is still there when you come back — and so are the pieces already shown to you under « More ideas », so the same ones are not offered every time. Clearing the site's data removes them.
Signing in does one thing: it lets you publish to the gallery and comment. Google then passes us your name, your email address and the address of your profile picture. We keep those three, plus the date the account was created, your bio and, if you upload one, your profile photo. Your browser crops it and saves it afresh before sending it, so it arrives without its metadata: no GPS position, no camera model. We ask Google for nothing else and can see nothing else: not your contacts, not your calendar, not your files.
A shared chart, its title, its category, a photo of the finished piece if you add one, your comments, your hearts and your profile photo are visible to everyone, with your name on them. That is what a gallery is. You can delete your own posts and your own comments whenever you like.
The session cookie keeps you signed in. It holds a random token that means nothing anywhere but this site, the page's JavaScript cannot read it, and the database keeps only a fingerprint of that token, so a copy of the database would let nobody sign in as anybody. It lasts 180 days, and expired sessions are deleted. A second, temporary cookie exists for the round trip to Google, to stop anyone signing you in without your knowing. Two measurement cookies join them, but only if you have accepted the audience measurement described just below. No advertising cookie: this site carries no advertising.
The site can count its visits with Google Analytics, and only if you let it. Until you have answered, or if you declined, nothing is loaded: Google's domain is not even contacted. If you accept, two measurement cookies are set (“_ga” and “_ga_…”, thirteen months), and the pages viewed, the kind of device and an approximate location worked out from your IP address go to Google, which is then a recipient of that data. Your photograph is never part of it: the conversion never leaves your browser, and Google sees neither your images nor your charts. As for the rest: no advertising pixel, no social network button, and the fonts are served from this server rather than by Google Fonts. You can change your answer further down this page.
Your account, your profile photo and what you have published stay for as long as you keep them; “Remove my photo”, on your account page, erases the photo at once. The history of your charts is deleted automatically after six months, entry by entry, without asking. Sessions expire after 180 days. Notifications (who commented on your pieces or replied to you) are deleted after 90 days. The measurement cookies, if you accepted them, last thirteen months, and clearing them resets their count. The server logs of the host that runs this site hold IP addresses for a few days, as any web server does, for diagnosis and security.
You can ask for a copy of what the site holds about you, for it to be corrected, or for all of it to be deleted: account, posts and comments. Write to the address below and it will be done. You can also do all of it yourself without writing to anyone: “Delete my account”, at the foot of your account page. It is immediate and permanent. You can also withdraw this site's access at any time from your Google account settings.
