Signature Generator

Privacy

We wrote this policy to explain, without legal padding, how Signature Generator treats information about the people who use the signature generator on generator-signature.com. Everything below applies across the site, from the tool to the help articles.

About us and this policy

generator-signature.com is the home of Signature Generator, a free signature generator that works in your web browser. The operator of the site is responsible for your information, and the quickest way to reach them is by email at [email protected]. Under European data protection law, the operator is the controller of the limited data described below.

What we collect — and what we don't

There are no user accounts on generator-signature.com, so we never ask for your name, a password or payment details. The tool's code runs in your browser, so the values you type into the signature generator stay on your device. Below we list the technical data that is collected through server logs, analytics and advertising, and why.

Local processing

Local storage

Your recent entries are saved in the browser's local storage so they are still there when you come back. It lives only in the browser you used and is never uploaded to us. You can delete it at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings; a private window keeps nothing once it is closed.

Opening files

Opening a file in the signature generator does not upload it anywhere: the browser reads it on your device. We do not receive the file or any part of it.

Cookies and tracking technologies

Cookies, and similar technologies such as pixels and local storage, let a site or the services it uses keep small pieces of data in your browser. The tool works without cookies of its own; those that appear are set by the analytics and advertising partners listed below. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the signature generator will keep working, although ads may become less relevant.

Web server logs

Like nearly every website, the server that hosts generator-signature.com keeps standard access logs. These logs hold the IP address, user agent string, time of access and the address of the page requested. They help us block abuse, fix problems and count traffic.

Visitor statistics

To learn how visitors use generator-signature.com, we rely on two analytics services: Yandex Metrica and Microsoft Clarity. These services record pages visited, time on page, the site you came from, device and browser type and an approximate location based on your IP address. Both include session recording and heatmaps that capture clicks, scrolls and pointer movements, helping us spot confusing parts of a page.

Both services use cookies, and the data they collect is governed by the privacy policies of Yandex and Microsoft. We look at the results in aggregate and do not use them to identify individual visitors.

Ads on generator-signature.com

Signature Generator is free because it shows ads. The ads are supplied by third-party ad networks, which may set cookies and use device data, such as your IP address and browser details, to choose ads and measure how they perform. Where permitted, networks may personalise ads using your browsing on other sites as well as this one.

Your tool inputs are never shared with ad networks, which process their own data under their own privacy terms. To limit ad personalisation, block third-party cookies in your browser or use the opt-out tools at optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.

Why we may process data (EEA and UK visitors)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases:

Your choices and rights

Data protection law in many places gives you rights over your data: access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability and the right to object. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Because we hold very little data and no accounts, we may need details such as your IP address and the approximate time of your visit to find anything relating to you. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the supervisory authority in your country. Requests can be sent to [email protected].

Where data is processed

The services we use, including hosting, analytics and advertising providers, may process data in countries other than your own. Data protection rules in those countries may not be the same as in yours.

Data retention

We keep information only as long as it is needed: server logs are deleted on a rolling basis after a limited period, unless an entry is needed to investigate an attack or abuse. Entries in local storage remain until you clear them. Correspondence is kept while it is needed to answer you and handle any follow-up. Third-party services keep the data they collect for the periods set out in their own policies.

Notice for California residents

California residents have rights under the CCPA and the CPRA: to know what personal information is collected, to have it deleted or corrected, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell personal information in the everyday meaning of the word; no list of visitors is ever traded. Advertising cookies, though, can amount to “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising as California law defines it. You can opt out by turning on the Global Privacy Control signal in your browser, blocking third-party cookies, or contacting us. Using these rights will not change how the site works for you.

Keeping data safe

Connections to generator-signature.com use HTTPS encryption. Access to the server and its logs is limited to the people who run the site. No method is completely secure, but what you enter into the signature generator never reaches our server.

Children's data

Signature Generator is a general-audience site and is not directed to children under 13, or under 16 in the EEA and the UK. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Parents or guardians who think a child has contacted us can ask us to delete that information.

Updates to this policy

We update this page when our practices change, for example when we add or remove a service. The version published here is always the current one.

Contact

You can reach us about anything in this policy at [email protected]. We answer privacy requests within the time limits that apply under data protection law.
