Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 2026
This policy explains how this site ('we') handles your data. User privacy is our absolute top priority.
1. Core Data Principle (100% Client-Side Local Processing)
This site is serverless. When you upload images, photos, or avatar QR codes for pixelation or decoding, everything â Canvas sampling, Buffer byte rewriting, audio synthesis â runs right in your browser in real time. We don't have a backend database, and we can't transmit, dump, or store any of your files.
2. Local Storage (localStorage & IndexedDB)
The Voice Lab's Relationship Leaderboard saves your resident roster (up to 15 residents with names, zodiac signs, and personality types) in your browser's localStorage under the key 'lifesimgrid-residents'. Additionally, each studio's History feature stores your recent action records (up to 20 entries per studio, including thumbnails and settings) in your browser's IndexedDB under the database 'lifesimgrid-history'. Both localStorage and IndexedDB data never leave your device â they are not sent to any server. You can clear history at any time by clicking 'Clear All' in each studio's History panel, or by clearing your browser data. No cookies are used for these features.
3. Cookies & Third-Party Ads
To cover hosting and CDN costs, this site may display non-tracking, high-quality tech/design ads via networks like Google AdSense, Carbon Ads, or EthicalAds. These advertisers may use Cookies and Web Beacons to collect non-personally identifiable info (browser type, OS, visit time, etc.) for ad relevance. You can refuse or clear Cookies in your browser settings at any time â this won't affect any core tool features.
4. Third-Party Libraries
This site uses the following open-source JavaScript libraries, all running client-side: jsQR (MIT License, QR code decoding), qrcode (MIT License, QR code generation), JSZip (MIT License, ZIP file creation), and Lucide (ISC License, icons). None of these libraries transmit data externally. Additionally, this site may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Microsoft Clarity to collect anonymized usage data for understanding visitor behavior and improving site performance. These services may use cookies or similar tracking technologies. You can opt out of Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, and you can disable Clarity by adjusting your browser settings. These analytics services are optional and can be disabled without affecting core tool functionality.
5. Children's Privacy
This site is a general-audience tool and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Since no data is collected or transmitted, COPPA and similar regulations are inherently satisfied. If you're a parent and have concerns, rest assured that your child's activity on this site generates zero data footprint.
6. GDPR & CCPA Compliance
Because this site processes all data client-side and does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data, it inherently complies with GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California). There is no personal data to access, export, or delete because we never have it. If you clear your browser's localStorage, all locally stored data (resident roster) is permanently removed.
7. Data Security
Since your data never leaves your device, there's zero risk of server-side breaches. We're committed to keeping our code transparent â review the full data flow anytime in our GitHub repo. The site is served over HTTPS to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks during page delivery.
