Privacy
In force since 2026-08-05.
The short version: we keep your email address so your account and credits have an owner, and we keep the art you upload so we can turn it into a font and so you can change that font later. We do not sell any of it, and we do not train models on your images.
Who is responsible
vanBerloDevelopments, at Maasboulevard 299, 5237 WT 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, is the controller of the personal data described here. Full company details are on the legal page. For anything about your data, email sam.vanberlo@vanberlodevelopments.com.
What we collect, and why we are allowed to
| What | Why | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Your email address | To create the account your credits belong to, and to send you your font. | Performance of the contract you asked for |
| Art you upload | To generate the character set, and to keep with the font so you can change it later. It is the input to the thing you asked for, and the only copy of it. | Performance of the contract |
| The fonts and files we generate | So they are in your account when you come back for them. | Performance of the contract |
| Payment details | To take payment. Card numbers go to our payment provider and never reach our servers. | Performance of the contract, and a legal duty to keep the records |
| Product news and offers | Only if you tick the box. It is never a condition of getting your font. | Your consent, which you can withdraw at any time |
Marketing is separate from delivery on purpose. Making your account and sending you the font you just made is service, and it happens whether or not you want to hear from us again. The box for news and offers is unticked, and ticking it is not required for anything.
Who else touches it
Running this service means other companies process some of your data on our behalf. They act on our instructions and may not use it for their own purposes.
| Who | What they do | Outside the EEA? |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication and hosting (Google Cloud and Firebase) | holds your account, your uploaded art and the fonts made from it | Yes |
| Payments (Stripe) | takes the payment and holds the card details, which never reach us | Yes |
| AI processing providers | turn your uploaded art into a character set | Yes |
| Email delivery (Resend) | sends the welcome message that carries your font and verifies your address | Yes |
| Visitor analytics (Firebase Analytics, by Google) | counts visits, and stores an identifier on your device to do it | Yes |
| Error tracking (Sentry) | records technical errors so we can find out what broke, and for whom | No |
Data that leaves Europe
Some of the companies above are based outside the European Economic Area, so your data is transferred there. Those transfers rely on the safeguards the law provides for them, which for our providers means the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision covering the country in question. You can ask us which applies to a particular provider and we will tell you.
We do not train on your art
Your uploads are used to make your font and nothing else. They are not used to train models, ours or anybody else's, and they are not sold, licensed or shared for advertising. This is also written into the licence, which is the version that binds us.
How long we keep it
| What | How long |
|---|---|
| Your account and email address | until you delete the account |
| Art you upload | kept with the font it made, so you can edit that font later; deleted with your account |
| Fonts you generate | for as long as your account exists; deleted with it, files included |
| Payment and invoice records | 7 years, because Dutch tax law requires it |
Deleting your account does not delete the invoices. Dutch law requires business records to be kept for seven years, and that duty outlives a request to erase, so those records stay while everything else goes.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, object to what we are doing with it, or take it elsewhere. Email sam.vanberlo@vanberlodevelopments.com and we answer within a month. If you have consented to marketing, you can withdraw that at any time without giving a reason, and it does not affect anything else.
If you think we have handled your data badly, you can complain to us first, and you can complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) whether or not you come to us first.
Cookies, and how we count visits
We count visits using Firebase Analytics (Google), which stores an identifier on your device. Nothing is measured until you say yes, saying no is one click and costs you nothing, and you can change your mind at any time.
Your theme choice is remembered in your own browser and never leaves it. When you sign in to the app, a cookie keeps you signed in, which is the kind of cookie that needs no permission because without it the thing you asked for does not work.
Because our analytics store something on your device, you are asked before anything is measured, and nothing is measured if you say no. You can change that answer whenever you like, right here:
We also record technical errors, so that when something breaks we find out from the software rather than from you. Those reports are about what the code did, and we configure them not to carry the contents of your uploads.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects you, we say so rather than quietly editing the page. The date at the top is the one to check.
