Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 28, 2025

At Email Signature Maker, your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our free online email signature maker tool.

The short version: We don't collect, store, or upload your signatures. Everything happens in your browser.

Information We Collect

Personal Data: We do not collect any personal information from you. We don't require account registration, email addresses, names, or any other identifying information to use our signature generator.

Signature Data: Your signatures are created entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. We do not upload, transmit, or store your signatures on our servers. When you create a signature:

  • All drawing, typing, and image processing happens locally in your browser
  • No signature data is sent to our servers
  • Your signature never leaves your device unless you choose to download it
  • When you close your browser or navigate away, your signature is automatically deleted

How Your Data is Processed

Our signature generator is a client-side application, meaning all processing happens directly in your web browser:

  • Drawing signatures: Canvas API renders your drawing locally in your browser
  • Typing signatures: Text and fonts are processed using JavaScript in your browser
  • Uploading images: Image files are read and processed entirely in your browser using the FileReader API
  • Downloading signatures: PNG images are generated client-side and downloaded directly to your device

Because all processing occurs in your browser, you maintain complete control over your signature data. We have no access to it, cannot see it, and cannot store it.

Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies to ensure the website functions properly:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for basic functionality like maintaining your session while you use the tool
  • No Tracking Cookies: We do not use cookies to track your behavior, build profiles, or target you with advertising

You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, though this may limit some functionality of the website.

Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following third-party services:

  • Google Fonts: We load signature fonts from Google Fonts to provide you with beautiful typography options. Google may collect technical information about font requests. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Web Hosting: Our website is hosted on secure servers. The hosting provider may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, browser types, access times) for security and performance purposes.

We do not share any information with third parties for marketing purposes. Any data collected by third-party services is governed by their respective privacy policies.

Google AdSense and Advertising

To keep our service free for everyone, we display advertisements through Google AdSense. This section explains how advertising works on our website and what data is collected.

How Google AdSense Works

Google AdSense is an advertising service provided by Google LLC. It uses cookies and similar technologies to display personalized advertisements based on your browsing activity across the web.

Data Collected by Google AdSense

When you visit our website, Google AdSense may collect the following information:

  • Cookies and Identifiers: Google uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites on the internet
  • Device Information: Type of device, operating system, browser type, and screen resolution
  • Browsing Data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, links clicked, and referral sources
  • Location Data: Approximate geographic location based on your IP address
  • Ad Interaction Data: Whether you click on, view, or interact with ads displayed on our site

Cookies Used by Google AdSense

Google AdSense uses several types of cookies, including:

  • DoubleClick Cookie (IDE): Used to serve personalized ads and track ad performance
  • NID Cookie: Contains a unique ID Google uses to remember your preferences
  • DSID and FLC Cookies: Used to track conversions and measure ad effectiveness
  • Test Cookies: Used to check if cookies can be set on your browser

These cookies may remain on your device for varying periods, from session-only to up to 2 years, depending on the cookie type.

Purpose of Ad Personalization

Google uses the collected data to:

  • Display advertisements that are more relevant to your interests
  • Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
  • Prevent fraudulent clicks and protect advertisers
  • Provide aggregated reports to advertisers about ad performance
  • Improve ad quality and user experience

Your Advertising Choices

You have several options to control advertising personalization:

Opt Out of Personalized Ads

Visit Google's Ads Settings to control ad personalization. You can turn off personalized ads while still seeing ads based on general factors like the website content or your approximate location.

Manage Cookie Settings

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. However, note that blocking all cookies may affect your ability to access certain features of our website. See our Cookie Policy for more information.

Industry Opt-Out Tools

Use industry-provided tools like the NAI Opt-Out Tool or DAA Opt-Out Tool to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies.

Browser Privacy Features

Modern browsers offer privacy features like "Do Not Track" signals, incognito/private browsing modes, and ad-blocking extensions that can limit advertising tracking.

Third-Party Ad Networks

Google AdSense may work with other advertising networks and third parties to display ads. These partners may also use cookies and similar technologies. Each partner has their own privacy policy governing their data collection and use.

Children's Privacy and COPPA

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Google AdSense has been configured to serve non-personalized ads only when we detect users may be under the age requirement. Parents can learn more about how Google handles children's data at Google's Family Link.

GDPR and Privacy Rights

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), Google AdSense operates in compliance with GDPR. You have rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right to Access: Request access to personal data Google has collected about you
  • Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data
  • Right to Object: Object to processing of your personal data for advertising
  • Right to Data Portability: Request a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise these rights with Google, visit Google's Privacy Controls.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

  • Right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold
  • Right to delete personal information held by businesses
  • Right to opt-out of the sale of personal information
  • Right to non-discrimination for exercising CCPA rights

Google provides California residents with information about data practices and privacy controls at Google Privacy & Terms.

More Information

Data Security

Because our signature generator is entirely browser-based, your security is primarily in your hands:

  • No Server Storage: Since we don't receive or store your signatures, there's no risk of server-side data breaches affecting your signatures
  • HTTPS Encryption: Our website uses HTTPS to ensure secure communication between your browser and our servers
  • Local Processing: All signature creation happens on your device, protected by your own security measures
  • No Account Database: We don't maintain user accounts, so there's no database of user information that could be compromised

We recommend using up-to-date browsers and operating systems, and maintaining good security practices on your device to protect your locally-generated signatures.

Children's Privacy

Our service does not require any personal information and does not collect data from users of any age. While we don't specifically target children under 13, the tool is safe for all ages to use since no personal information is collected or stored.

Parents and guardians can feel confident that children using our signature generator are not providing any personal information to us.

Your Privacy Rights

Because we don't collect or store your personal data or signatures, many traditional privacy rights don't apply. However:

  • Right to Access: There's no data to access because we don't store anything about you
  • Right to Deletion: Your signatures are automatically deleted when you close the browser or navigate away
  • Right to Portability: You can download your signatures as PNG files and use them wherever you like
  • Right to Object: Since we don't process your personal data, there's nothing to object to

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes:

  • We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy
  • For significant changes, we may display a notice on our homepage
  • Your continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
