Privacy Policy
Effective date: June 3, 2026
Hoek (the “Service”) respects your privacy and complies with applicable laws. The Service has no sign-up or login, and everything you make — fonts, stickers, signatures, text emoticons — is generated in your browser and is not stored on our servers. This policy explains what information the Service handles and how.
1. What we collect and how
The Service does not ask for or store direct personal information such as your name, contact details, or account. The letters and drawings you make on the canvas, and any text you enter, are processed only momentarily to generate fonts and images, and are not retained on our servers after the result is returned to you.
As part of normal web server operation, access logs (IP address, browser type, time of access, and requested path) may be recorded automatically. These are standard server records used to keep the Service stable and to prevent abuse.
For advertising and analytics, the third-party tools described below may collect some information via cookies (see sections 2 and 3).
2. Cookies and third-party advertising (Google AdSense)
The Service may display ads served by third-party vendors, including Google. These vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits.
Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads based on your visit to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings (https://www.google.com/settings/ads), and opt out of third-party advertising cookies at https://www.aboutads.info.
You can refuse or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies does not affect the core features of the Service (drawing, generating, and downloading).
3. Analytics (Google Analytics)
To improve the Service, we may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics. These tools use cookies to collect aggregate statistics — such as pages visited, time on page, and approximate region — anonymously, without identifying you personally.
You can opt out of analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
4. Retention
Content you submit for generation is discarded immediately after processing and is not retained. Server access logs are kept only as long as needed for operational and security purposes, then deleted.
Information collected by third-party tools (Google) is retained and used according to those vendors’ own policies.
5. Sharing and processors
We do not sell or arbitrarily share your personal information with third parties. Advertising and analytics cookie collection is carried out through the Google services above, and each vendor’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) also applies.
6. Your choices
Because the Service does not store identifiable personal information, there is no separate stored data to access, correct, or delete. For advertising and analytics cookies, you remain in control through the opt-out methods in sections 2 and 3 and your browser’s cookie settings.
For any privacy-related questions or requests, please use the contact below.
7. Children’s privacy
The Service does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 14. We encourage guardians to ensure children do not provide identifying information.
8. Changes to this policy
This Privacy Policy may be revised as laws or the Service change. When it changes, we will post the updated effective date on this page.
