What we collect
Just the photo you upload to generate a preview, and — only if you message us on Etsy — whatever you choose to share there. No account, no email collection, no payment details ever touch this tool (checkout happens entirely on Etsy).
With your permission we use Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel (from Facebook) to count visits and see which pages are useful. They set cookies in your browser and report figures like page views, rough location and how you arrived. Neither is given your photo, your design or anything you type here — only the page address and standard browser signals. You can block or clear those cookies in your browser settings without affecting the generator.
The Meta Pixel is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. and is covered by Meta’s privacy policy. Google Analytics is covered by Google’s privacy policy.
Tracking cookies stay off until you accept them, and you can change your mind at any time:
Separately from those tools, and regardless of your cookie choice, the page keeps anonymous counts of how far people get: whether someone tried to upload a photo, how far the page was scrolled, and whether the silhouette and line-art previews were shown. This uses no cookie and no identifier that outlives your browser tab, is never joined to a photo or a design, and records nothing finer than a day — so it cannot recognise you on a return visit or follow you to another site. Those records are deleted after 30 days.
How your photo is used
Your photo is processed by an AI image model (via Replicate, a US-based provider) to generate line art, and by a background-removal step, to produce your keychain preview. It is not used for anything else and is not shared beyond what's needed to generate your design.
Photo metadata (EXIF, including GPS location if your phone records it) is always stripped from the stored copy on our server. For larger photos, your browser also resizes the image before it's even sent — so for those, that metadata never leaves your device in the first place.
How long we keep it
- If you never order: your uploaded photo is deleted after 30 days.
- If you order: the normalized/prepared version of your photo and the generated line art are kept as the permanent record of what was engraved, tied to your Design ID.
Your design link
Each generated design gets a permanent, unguessable link
(/d/<id>) so you can find it again and use it to order.
It isn't listed publicly or indexed anywhere.
Requesting deletion
Message us on Etsy with your Design ID and we'll delete your photo and design on request, order or no order.
