Privacy policy for Codex Pets.

Information you type into the tools

Manifest text, prompt fields, and custom spritesheet URLs are handled in your browser for the current session. This site does not send that form content to an application database.

Local package inspection

The local ZIP checker reads your selected package in a browser worker. It does not upload the ZIP or save its contents to local storage. Cancelling, choosing another file, or leaving the page stops the worker. Package inspection results are masked from Clarity recordings.

External spritesheet URLs

If you paste an external spritesheet URL into the preview tool, your browser requests that image from the URL you supplied. That external host may receive normal request information such as IP address, user agent, and referrer behavior controlled by the browser.

Saved pets and recently viewed pets

The Gallery stores your saved pets and recently viewed pet list in this browser's local storage so you can return to them later. These lists persist between visits on the same browser; they are not synced to an account. Clear site data for codexpets.org in your browser to remove both lists. Saving or opening a pet can also send an interaction event to our analytics services as described below.

Clipboard behavior

Copy buttons attempt to place generated text on your clipboard. If the browser denies clipboard permission, the site falls back to showing a manual-copy status instead of storing the text elsewhere.

Hosting logs

Our hosting provider processes web requests and may keep standard server logs for security, abuse prevention, and reliability. Requests can include your IP address, requested URL, browser type, and timestamp.

Analytics and site reliability

We use Google Analytics to understand page visits and actions such as opening a pet or copying a setup prompt. We use Microsoft Clarity to understand aggregate interaction patterns such as navigation friction and scroll behavior. These services may receive page URLs, referrers, browser and device details, approximate location derived from an IP address, identifiers, and interaction events. Tool form content is not intentionally included in analytics events.

Advertising and Google data use

Codex Pets currently uses a Google AdSense account verification tag; it does not load the AdSense advertising script or display Google ads. If advertising is enabled in the future, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, and other device or browser identifiers to deliver, measure, limit, and personalize ads where permitted. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services on the Google partner sites page.

Consent and advertising choices

There is currently no on-site advertising consent message or advertising preference control. Before enabling Google ads for visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we will need to provide the required consent controls and update this policy. Browser settings can block or delete cookies and site storage. These settings do not provide an on-site opt-out from all analytics requests.

Questions and rights requests

For a privacy question, correction request, or concern about information sent through this site, use the contact page and identify the page and issue without including sensitive personal information.
