Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 14, 2026

The short version

Tomodachi Grid runs entirely in your browser. We don't operate a backend that stores your data. Images you upload, layouts you build, and projects you save are kept locally on your device and never sent to us.

What we collect

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how people use the site. GA4 collects page views, browser/device type, approximate country (from IP), referrer, time on page, and basic event data like which buttons were clicked. We've enabled IP anonymisation, so the last octet of your IP is dropped before logging.

We do not collect names, emails, precise location, or any personally identifying information. We do not accept payments. We do not share or sell any data.

Cookies

Google Analytics sets a small number of first-party cookies (typically _ga and _ga_FT06C86WG5) that store an anonymous client identifier. These cookies expire after roughly two years. You can:

  • Block them through your browser's cookie settings
  • Install the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to stop GA on every site you visit
  • Use browser-level Do Not Track or anti-tracking features (the site honours these as best the browser exposes)

Local storage

Several tools save your work to your browser's local storage: your last Grid Maker reference, your Island Planner layout, and similar in-progress projects. This data lives only in your browser. Clearing your browser data removes it. You can also clear it from within each tool.

Third-party services

The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and analytics from Google Analytics — both Google services may receive your IP address as part of standard HTTP requests. We use Cloudflare for hosting and CDN; Cloudflare's privacy policy applies to that layer. The Pixel Art Maker and Grid Maker can optionally route an image URL through the images.weserv.nl CORS proxy when CORS is blocked by the source host — only the URL itself is passed.

If we add advertising in the future, ad networks may set their own cookies. We will update this page and add a consent mechanism if and when that happens.

Email contact

If you email us at support@tomodachigrid.com, we keep that email in our inbox to respond. We don't add you to any list. If you submit a design for the gallery, we'll credit you with the name you provide.

Children's privacy

Tomodachi Grid is suitable for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information through email, contact us and we'll delete it.

DMCA / copyright

Tomodachi Grid is an unaffiliated fan project. If you believe content on this site infringes your copyright, email support@tomodachigrid.com with the URL of the content and proof of ownership. We respond to valid notices within five business days.

Changes

We may update this policy as the project grows (for example, when adding ads). The "Last updated" date at the top will change. For material changes we'll add a notice on the homepage.
