1. 100% In-Browser Client-Side Processing

At PixelCraft Engine (https://pixelartvillage.org), we prioritize your privacy. All image pixelation, color palette quantization, dithering algorithms, and canvas editing take place 100% inside your web browser using HTML5 Canvas API and client-side JavaScript.

Your uploaded images, photos, logos, and graphics are NEVER transmitted to, stored on, or processed by any external server or backend database.

2. Analytics & Tracking Technologies

To analyze web traffic, optimize site performance, and improve user experience, we utilize standard web analytics tools:

• Google Analytics (GA4): Collects anonymized usage statistics such as page views, country location, browser type, and duration of visit.
• Meta / Facebook Pixel: Measures conversion events and effectiveness of social media campaigns.
• Cookies & Local Storage: Small text files saved in your browser to remember your tool preferences (e.g., zoom level, grid line visibility).

3. Advertising Networks (Google AdSense)

We may display third-party advertisements via Google AdSense to support our free web tools. Google and its ad partners use cookies (such as the DART cookie) to serve ads based on user visits to this and other websites.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at google.com/settings/ads.
