Privacy Policy
MyArtPDF is a local-first tool for artists. This page explains what data is collected, how it is used, and the choices you have.
1. Data controller
MyArtPDF is an independent project created and maintained by a single person. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach out at:
2. Local-first studio and portfolio data
MyArtPDF is designed as a local-first tool. When you use the studio (browser or desktop app), your data stays on your device:
- Artwork images and metadata (title, medium, year, dimensions).
- Artist CV, biography and statement text.
- Project structure and export settings.
This information is stored in your browser (for example using local storage or IndexedDB) or in the local storage of the desktop app. It is not uploaded to a MyArtPDF server and there is no automatic cloud sync.
You can export this data yourself as a .myartpdf file and keep it
on your own devices or backups.
3. Email waitlist and updates
If you choose to leave your email address to be notified at launch or to receive occasional project updates, your email will be processed by a third-party email provider (for example ConvertKit).
The email address you provide is used only to:
- Send launch notifications and important updates about MyArtPDF.
- Occasionally ask for feedback or invite you to try new versions.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in each email.
4. Analytics
MyArtPDF may use a privacy-friendly analytics service (such as Cloudflare Web Analytics) to understand how many people visit the site, which pages are viewed, and general usage trends.
These analytics:
- Do not use invasive tracking or fingerprinting.
- Do not collect individual browsing histories.
- Provide aggregated, non-identifying statistics.
5. Donations and payments
If you choose to support MyArtPDF via Ko-fi or another donation platform, your payment is processed by that external service. MyArtPDF does not have access to your full payment details (such as card numbers).
The donation platform may share limited information, such as your name, username or message, if you choose to provide it. This information is used only to acknowledge and manage support for the project.
6. Cookies
The MyArtPDF site aims to avoid marketing cookies and invasive trackers. If cookies are used, they are limited to technical purposes (for example, remembering basic preferences) or to privacy-friendly analytics as described above.
7. Legal basis and data retention
When applicable under your local law (for example under the GDPR in the EU), the main legal bases for processing data are:
- Consent – when you explicitly provide your email address to join the waitlist or receive updates.
- Legitimate interest – for using minimal analytics to understand how the site is used and improve it.
Email addresses are kept for as long as the project runs or until you unsubscribe. Aggregated analytics data may be kept longer for statistical purposes.
8. Your rights
Depending on your country, you may have rights over your personal data, such as the right to access, correct or delete it. If you have any questions or requests, you can contact: hello@myartpdf.app.
9. Changes to this policy
This privacy policy may be updated occasionally as the project evolves. When that happens, the “last updated” date will be changed.
Last updated: November 2025.
