Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 31, 2025

Privacy at a Glance

  • Your data stays in your browser - Everything is stored client-side using IndexedDB
  • No user accounts or tracking - No registration, no login, no user profiles
  • No server-side storage - We don't store your diagrams or data on our servers
  • Anonymous analytics only - Vercel Analytics collects anonymous page views (no personal data)

What We Collect

Nothing by Default

VennMaker does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information or user-generated content to our servers. All your Venn diagrams, labels, and preferences are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage.

Anonymous Web Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics to understand how people use VennMaker. This service collects:

  • Page URLs visited (e.g., homepage, privacy page)
  • Referrer information (where you came from)
  • Country and device type (anonymized)
  • Page load times and performance metrics

No personal information is collected. We don't track IP addresses, user identifiers, or link analytics data to any individual.

How Your Data Is Stored

Client-Side Storage Only

All application data is stored locally in your browser using two technologies:

IndexedDB

Stores your diagram history - a record of all the Venn diagrams you've created or modified. This allows you to view and restore previous versions of your work.

localStorage

Stores your current diagram state and application preferences. This ensures your work is saved automatically and restored when you return to VennMaker.

What this means for you: Your data never leaves your device. We cannot access, view, or recover your diagrams. If you clear your browser data, your diagrams will be permanently deleted.

Your Rights & Control

Since all data is stored in your browser, you have complete control:

Access Your Data

View all stored data via your browser's developer tools (Application → IndexedDB → vennmaker.io)

Delete Your Data

Clear all VennMaker data via browser settings (Clear browsing data → Cookies and site data)

Export Your Work

Use VennMaker's built-in export features to save diagrams as PNG, SVG, or PDF files

No Account Needed

No registration means no personal data tied to your identity

  • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) - No personal data collection or processing
  • CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) - No personal information sale or sharing
  • No data breach notification required - We don't store user data server-side

Technical Details

IndexedDB Schema

VennMaker stores diagram history in IndexedDB with the following structure:

{
  id: number,           // Auto-incrementing ID
  timestamp: number,    // Unix timestamp
  diagram: {
    circles: [...],     // Circle definitions
    labels: [...],      // Labels and text
    // ... other diagram state
  }
}

localStorage Keys

  • vennmaker_current_diagram - Current diagram state (JSON)
  • vennmaker_preferences - Application preferences (JSON)

All stored data is specific to the vennmaker.io domain and cannot be accessed by other websites.
