Privacy Policy

What runs where

The Service is fully client-side. The face detection (Google MediaPipe FaceLandmarker, running as WebAssembly), the glasses placement, the canvas animation, and the GIF encoding (gif.js running in Web Workers) all execute inside your browser tab. Your photos never leave your device. There is no upload endpoint, no backend processing, and no cloud storage of images.

What gets logged

Two third-party services touch your request, and neither one captures the content of your work on this site:

• Cloudflare sits in front of the site for caching, DDoS protection, and TLS termination. It records standard request metadata (IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp) for security and rate limiting. It does not see your uploaded photos because those never leave your device.
• Google AdSense serves the single ad on the page. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads. AdSense doesn't see your photos either — it only knows you loaded the page.

Beyond that, no application-level analytics, no tracking pixels, no Google Tag Manager, no first-party server logging of your interactions with the tool. The page is a static HTML file plus a WASM model.

Cookies and ad personalization

Google AdSense and its partners may set cookies to serve relevant ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings, or visit aboutads.info for industry-wide opt-out tools. Cloudflare may set cookies for bot detection and rate limiting.

Data we do not collect

• We do not require accounts, logins, or registration.
• We do not store your uploaded photos — they exist only in your browser's memory.
• We do not run any first-party analytics or tracking on your activity in the tool.
• We do not sell, share, or transfer any personal information.

Self-hosting

If you would rather not have any third party in the loop, you can run this site yourself. The full source is at github.com/schwarztim/deal-with-it — clone, serve the static index.html from any web server (or even file://), and you have a fully offline meme generator.

Children

This Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

If you are in the EU/EEA, UK, or California, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information held about you. Because this Service does not maintain user accounts and does not store uploaded photos, the personal information held is limited to the standard request metadata noted above.
