RuledPaperPrivacy policy for RuledPaper
Short version: the paper generator runs in your browser and RuledPaper does not need to know who you are. Here is everything we do store, and why.
Who is responsible
The controller of personal data on this site is Scentro, the operator of RuledPaper. Contact: hello@ruledpaper.net.
The paper generator
Templates are drawn on your own device. Your settings are not sent to us when you change them. When you download or print a template, your browser sends us the paper type and its settings (for example “Letter, 7.14 mm, blue”) so we can count how often each setting is used and show the most popular ones. This counter stores no IP address, no cookie and nothing that identifies you. To prevent abuse, the server keeps the requesting IP address in memory for one minute to limit the number of requests; it is never written to disk.
Storage in your browser
We use your browser's local storage, not cookies, to remember your preferred units (mm or inches), the settings you choose to save, your light or dark theme choice and your analytics choice. This data stays on your device; you can clear it at any time in your browser settings. See the cookie policy.
Google Analytics (only with your consent)
If you click “Accept” on the consent banner, we load Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager to learn which pages and templates are used. Google sets cookies and processes your IP address and device information for this purpose; Google may process data outside your country. If you click “Reject”, nothing from Google is loaded. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time from the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
Blog comments
If you comment on an article, we store the name you give, your comment and a one-way hash of your IP address that we use only to stop spam. Comments are public. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in running a discussion without spam (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Ask us and we will delete your comment.
If you email us, we use your address and message only to reply, and delete them when the conversation is finished.
Server logs and hosting
Our hosting and content delivery providers (Cloudflare and our server provider) process technical data such as IP addresses to deliver the site and protect it from attacks. These logs are kept for a short time and are not used to identify visitors.
Your rights
You can ask for access to, correction of or deletion of your personal data, object to its processing, or withdraw consent, by emailing hello@ruledpaper.net. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.
