Your signs and messages
We do not collect or store the messages you type. A sign's text and settings are kept in the address bar after
the # — the URL fragment — which browsers do not send to web servers. When you share a sign, the
link itself carries it; we host no copy.
"My signs", your last sign and your Pro licence are saved in your browser's local storage on your device. Clear them any time by deleting signs in the list or clearing this site's data in your browser. Exported GIFs and videos are made on your device and never uploaded.
Advertising and consent
The free site shows Google AdSense ads on the editor, template and article pages — never on the full-screen sign, and never for Pro users. Google may use cookies or similar identifiers to serve and measure ads. Ad code is loaded only after Google's consent message (Privacy & messaging, a Google-certified consent management platform) has recorded your choice where consent is required, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. The same tool shows the opt-out choices required by some US state privacy laws. Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Analytics
We count visits and a few events (opening a sign full screen, sharing, exporting, buying Pro) with Plausible
Analytics, which uses no cookies and does not collect personal data or track you across sites. The address it
receives never includes the part after #, so it never sees your message.
Pro payments
Pro is sold by Lemon Squeezy as merchant of record. The licence itself is covered by our terms of use. Lemon Squeezy processes your payment and email address under its own privacy policy and sends you a licence key. To activate Pro, your key is sent once to our server, which checks it with Lemon Squeezy and keeps no record of it; the key is then stored in your browser.
Hosting and logs
Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (such as IP address, page requested and time) for security and reliability, for a limited period. These logs never contain your sign's text.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
