Your privacy matters to us. This privacy policy explains what data we collect when you use HaooFont, how we use it, and the rights you have under GDPR and UK GDPR. We aim to be transparent and straightforward — no confusing legal jargon, just clear information you can act on.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the EU, EEA, or UK, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:
- Legitimate interests — We process certain data (such as usage analytics, server logs, and security monitoring) because we have a legitimate interest in operating and improving a functional, secure website. We have assessed that these interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
- Consent — For non-essential cookies (such as analytics and advertising cookies), we rely on your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time through our cookie consent banner or your browser settings.
- Legal obligation — In rare cases, we may need to process data to comply with a legal requirement.
5. Cookies and Tracking
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and serve relevant ads.
We use the following types of cookies on haoofont.com:
- Essential cookies — Required for the website to function. These cannot be disabled without affecting core features.
- Analytics cookies — We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about how visitors use our site (pages visited, time on site, traffic sources). This helps us improve the experience for everyone.
- Advertising cookies — We use Google AdSense to display ads. Depending on your preferences, these may be personalized based on your browsing behavior or shown on a non-personalized basis.
When you first visit haoofont.com, our cookie consent banner will ask for your permission before placing any non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time.
For a full breakdown of every cookie we use and how to manage or disable them, please refer to our Cookie Policy page.
6. Third-Party Services
We work with trusted third-party services to operate and monetize haoofont.com. Each provider operates under its own privacy policy and is responsible for how it processes your data.
- Google Analytics — Collects anonymized usage data to help us understand site traffic and user behavior. Google Privacy Policy
- Google AdSense — Serves personalized or non-personalized ads based on your settings and browsing context. Google Advertising & Privacy
- CDN providers — Content delivery networks may process your IP address to route content quickly and efficiently to your location.
We only work with providers who meet appropriate data protection standards.
7. Data Retention
We keep your data only as long as necessary:
- Text input and uploaded images — Not stored beyond your active processing session. Once your result is generated, the input data is gone.
- Analytics data — Retained for up to 14 months, which is the default Google Analytics retention period.
- Server logs — Retained for up to 90 days, then securely deleted.
We do not hold on to data we no longer need.
8. Your Rights (GDPR & UK GDPR)

9. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your data:
- HTTPS/TLS encryption — All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted.
- Regular security updates — We keep our systems and software up to date to address known vulnerabilities.
- Access controls — Access to any personal data is limited to those who need it to perform their role.
- Secure deletion — Data we no longer need is deleted securely.
No system connected to the internet can guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to following good data protection practices and responding promptly to any incidents.
10. International Data Transfers
HaooFont is accessible worldwide, and some of the third-party services we use may process your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom. Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) — approved by the European Commission for transfers to countries without an adequacy decision
- UK International Data Transfer Addendum — for transfers from the UK
- Adequacy decisions — where the destination country has been recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection
11. Children’s Privacy
haoofont.com is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from:
- Children under 16 in the EU/EEA (or the applicable age in their member state)
- Children under 13 elsewhere
If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete that data promptly.
