🔒 Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

At Emoji Picker Hub, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website at emojipickerhub.com.

📊 Information We Collect

Emoji Picker Hub is designed with privacy in mind. We are a client-side web application, which means most functionality happens directly in your browser without sending data to our servers.

💾 Local Storage

We use your browser's localStorage to enhance your experience. This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. Local storage is used for:

• Favorite emojis — Your starred emojis for quick access
• Recent history — Recently copied emojis
• Saved combos — Your custom emoji combinations
• Theme preference — Light or dark mode setting
• App settings — Other personalization options

You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or site data. This will reset your preferences to default.

📈 Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This helps us improve the user experience and identify technical issues. Google Analytics collects:

• Pages visited and time spent on site
• Device type and browser information
• General geographic location (country/city level)
• Referral sources (how you found us)

This data is aggregated and anonymized. We cannot identify individual users from this information. You can opt out of Google Analytics by using a browser extension like Google Analytics Opt-out.

🍪 Cookies

We use minimal cookies necessary for our analytics service to function. We do not use:

• Advertising cookies
• Third-party tracking cookies
• Social media tracking pixels

🔗 Third-Party Services

Our website may contain links to external sites (such as social media platforms where you might paste emojis). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics — Website analytics
• GitHub Pages — Website hosting
• Emojibase — Emoji data and definitions

👶 Children's Privacy

Emoji Picker Hub is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). Since we don't collect personal data from any users, this naturally extends to children as well.

🔐 Data Security

Since we don't collect or store personal data on our servers, there's no user database that could be compromised. Your favorites and preferences exist only in your browser's local storage on your device.

Our website is served over HTTPS to ensure secure communication between your browser and our servers.

🌍 International Users

Emoji Picker Hub is accessible worldwide. Regardless of your location, we apply the same privacy standards to all users. We comply with applicable privacy laws including GDPR for European users and CCPA for California residents.

📝 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any significant changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
