Wplace provides pixel-art tools and related services, including photo-to-pixel conversion ("wplace pixel"), pixel editing ("wplace paint"), workflow automation ("wplace script"), and community integrations (including the wplace discord and optional wplace bot). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Data Storage and Security

We take security seriously. We apply encryption in transit (TLS), access controls, least-privilege principles, and regular reviews. However, no system is 100% secure; transmission and storage risks remain on the Internet.

• Service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics, payments) under contractual confidentiality and security obligations.

Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than your own. Where required, we implement safeguards for cross-border transfers.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide the services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary by data type.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise your rights, contact us at the email below.
