Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 2025

Welcome to Font Detector. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use fontdetector.org and its font identification services. If you have questions, contact [email protected].

1. Information we collect

  • Images you upload: Images containing text that you provide for font identification and recognition analysis.
  • Usage and device data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, time on page, referral source, and related technical information.
  • Analysis results: Font names, styles, similar-font suggestions, and other results returned by the service.
  • Support communications: Messages and contact details that you send to our support email.

2. How we use information

  • Provide and improve the Font Detector service, including font-identification quality.
  • Process font-recognition requests and return matching results.
  • Maintain security, analytics, reliability, and service performance.
  • Respond to support requests and communicate important service updates.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

3. Image storage and retention

Images uploaded for font detection are processed for the requested analysis and are not intended to be permanently stored on our servers. Images may be temporarily cached while processing and are automatically deleted after processing. We do not build a permanent database of user-uploaded images.

4. Legal bases for EEA and UK users

  • Legitimate interests, such as providing the font detector service, protecting security, measuring usage, and improving the service.
  • Consent where required, including for certain cookies or marketing-related processing.
  • Legal obligations, such as fraud prevention, record keeping, and compliance.

5. Sharing and disclosure

  • Service providers: Cloud hosting, AI processing, analytics, logging, and other providers only as needed to operate the service.
  • Legal requirements: Lawful requests, enforcement of rights, and prevention of harm or fraud.
  • Business transfers: A merger, acquisition, financing, or asset sale may involve a transfer of information with appropriate notice.
  • No marketing sale of uploads: We do not sell or share your uploaded images or font-identification results with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

6. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Uploaded images are deleted after processing, while limited usage or security logs may be retained for security, legal, and compliance purposes.

7. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise applicable rights, contact [email protected].

8. Children's privacy

The service is not intended for children under 13, or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information during font identification and service operation. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International transfers

Information may be processed or stored in data centers outside your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

11. Cookies and Google products

We use necessary cookies for site functionality and may use analytics or advertising cookies to understand usage and support the service.

Google and other third parties may place or read cookies, use web beacons, process IP addresses, or use other identifiers when their products provide analytics or serve ads on this site. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services in the Google partner sites policy.
