Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-01-14 · Last reviewed: 2026-08-10

This Privacy Policy describes how MakeIcon ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the service at makeicon.online. By accessing or using the service, you agree to the practices described here.

Your Icon Designs Stay in Your Browser

MakeIcon is a client-side tool. The icon generator runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. We do not upload, store, or process your icon designs or the images you export on our servers. Your artwork never leaves your device.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to operate the service, improve performance, and understand usage. This includes basic usage metrics (such as page views and export events) and technical data (such as browser type, device characteristics, and approximate location). We do not require you to create an account to use the service, and we never collect your icon designs.

Cookies and Analytics

We use Google Analytics (a service provided by Google LLC) to measure how the site is used and to improve it. Google Analytics places a cookie on your device and records aggregated data such as pages visited, how long you stay, and whether an export was completed. Google may use this data as described in Google's own privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy .

You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting the tool by installing Google's browser add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout . You can also block cookies through your browser settings.

How We Use Information

We use the information described above to operate, maintain, and improve the service, diagnose issues, and understand user needs. We do not sell personal information. We do not use your icon designs for any purpose.

Data Retention

We retain aggregated, de-identified analytics data for as long as it is useful for improving the service. Because the tool is client-side and we do not store your designs, there are no user-generated files to delete on our side.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under data protection laws such as the GDPR (Europe) and CCPA (California). These include the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of personal data we hold about you, and the right to object to processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information from unauthorized access or disclosure. The site is served over HTTPS and delivered through Cloudflare's network. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Children's Privacy

The service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last reviewed" date. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
