Privacy Policy — Your Files Stay on Your Device

The short version: your files never leave your device, this site sets no cookies, and there is nothing for us to hand over because we never receive anything.

Last updated 12 September 2026

Pre-launch draft. The operating entity, its address and the governing jurisdiction are marked TBD and must be completed before this site goes live.

What we collect

Nothing you put into the editor. Videos, images, text, drawings and exported files are processed entirely in your browser and are never transmitted to us or to any third party.

This site has no analytics, no advertising scripts, no social embeds and no fonts loaded from third-party servers. It sets no cookies and uses no tracking pixels.

The code does contain an optional statistics channel, and the switch at the bottom of this page controls it. It is off by default; this build has no endpoint configured, so it sends nothing regardless. If that ever changes, the switch — not an assumption about your consent — is what decides.

What is stored on your device

The editor writes to your browser's own storage so that closing a tab does not destroy your work. Nothing here is readable by us or by any other site.

  • IndexedDB — your current project and its imported media, saved automatically as you edit.
  • Cache Storage — a copy of the pages and scripts you have loaded, kept by the service worker so the editor keeps working offline.
  • localStorage — your theme preference, a licence key if you have activated one, and the statistics switch below.
  • Nothing else. No cookies are set by this site.

How to remove it

Clearing site data for this domain in your browser settings removes everything above, immediately and completely. There is no server-side copy to request the deletion of, because one was never created.

Server logs

The pages themselves are served as static files by a hosting provider, which — like any web server — records standard request data such as IP address and user agent for delivery and abuse prevention. This applies to loading the page, not to anything you do inside the editor.

If a payment provider is used to sell a licence, the transaction happens on that provider's own pages under their privacy policy. We never see or store card details.

Changes to this policy

If this ever changes — for example if optional, cookie-less usage statistics are introduced — the change will be described here with a new date, and anything that leaves your device will be opt-in rather than assumed.

Usage statistics

Off by default, and off right now unless you turn it on. When enabled, GifBench sends the page path, your interface language, a viewport size bucket and the site that referred you — plus a message and stack trace if something crashes. Never a file name, never anything from your project, no identifier that can single you out.

This build has no statistics endpoint configured, so nothing is sent whichever way this is set.
