Privacy Policy

ValoArt is a fan-made website for Valorant chat ASCII art. You can browse arts, generate banners, and paint on a canvas without creating an account. This policy explains, in plain language, what we collect and what we do not.

What we do not collect

We do not require an account, an email address, or a login to use ValoArt. We do not ask for your name, address, or payment details, and we do not sell personal data to anyone.

What we do collect

Analytics

We use Rybbit analytics (hosted at stats.zruvix.com) to understand which pages are visited and how the site is used, so we can improve it. Rybbit is designed to be privacy-friendly and does not require an account from visitors. Analytics data is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.

Copy counts

When you copy an art, a banner, or a canvas design, we increment a single global counter for that item (for example, “art-1: 1 copy”). This counter is stored in a database and is shared by all visitors. It is not tied to you, your device, or your account. It only records that a copy happened, not who copied it.

Local storage in your browser

Some features store data only in your own browser, not on our servers:

• Canvas arts you publish are saved in your browser's session storage so they can be shown at the top of the Arts page during that session.
• If our copy-count service is unreachable, a fallback copy count may be kept in your browser's local storage. It is never added to the global total.

Clearing your browser's site data will remove these local items. They are not sent to us except as described above.

Cookies

ValoArt itself does not set advertising cookies. Analytics and hosting services may use cookies or similar storage to count visits and keep the site working. You can block cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work for browsing and copying arts, although some counts may not be recorded.

Third-party services

ValoArt is hosted on Vercel, uses Rybbit for analytics, and uses a Neon Postgres database for global copy counts. Those services process data only as described above and under their own privacy policies. ValoArt does not control their internal data handling beyond the settings we use.

Children's privacy

ValoArt is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.

Contact

If you have questions about this policy, or you own an art in the gallery and would like it removed, please open an issue on the ValoArt GitHub repository at github.com/muse-codez/valoart, or contact us via ruvix.lol.
