Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Animdock. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you visit our website and tell you about your privacy rights.
2. Information We Collect
When you use our application to sign in using Google Auth, we collect only the minimum necessary information to create and maintain your account. This includes your email address and basic profile information (such as your name and profile picture).
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information solely to provide you with the Animdock service, authenticate you into our platform, and save your preferences and templates securely. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Google Data Usage
Animdock's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We only request basic profile access for authentication purposes.
5. Data Security and Deletion
Your data is stored securely. If you wish to delete your account and all associated data, you can contact us at any time, or use the clear data options provided within the platform.
6. Cookies and Analytics
animdock.com, Animdock Stock (stock.animdock.com) and Animdock Tools (tools.animdock.com) use Google Analytics to understand how the sites are used (for example, which pages and templates are visited) so we can improve them. Google Analytics sets cookies. In the EU/EEA, the UK and Türkiye, or if your country can't be determined, it only runs if you accept them in the cookie notice; if you reject, it is never loaded and the site works exactly the same. In other countries it runs without the notice, and you can turn it off. The country comes from our hosting provider, Cloudflare, and is not stored for this decision. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer.
On Animdock Tools, Google Analytics also records when a finished file is downloaded: only which tool was used and the output type (for example, PDF). Your files, their names and their contents are never sent.
We may advertise Animdock Tools on Google. If you arrive by clicking one of those ads, Google Analytics can store a click identifier in a cookie (named _gcl_…) so that we can see how many ad visits led to a tool being used. This follows the same cookie choice as Google Analytics above, and rejecting deletes these cookies. We do not use it for remarketing or personalized advertising.
Both animdock.com and Animdock Stock (stock.animdock.com) also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first service from our hosting provider that counts page views, the pages visited, the referring site and the visitor's country and device type as anonymous totals. It does not use cookies or local storage, does not fingerprint your device and does not track you across sites or visits, so it needs no consent. This data is used only to see which pages are useful and to improve Animdock, and it is not shared with any other third party.
Apart from that, the site only stores what it needs to work in your browser's local storage (such as your light/dark theme and the projects you save in the editor). These never leave your device.
7. Anonymous Search Data (Animdock Stock)
When you search on Animdock Stock (stock.animdock.com), we record the search words anonymously: only the words themselves, the media type you searched in, the day of the search, how many results it found, whether the search was typed into the search box or picked from the suggested searches, and the country you searched from (a two-letter country code provided by our hosting network, Cloudflare). We do not record your IP address, city, device, browser, cookies or anything else that could identify you, and searches are stored only as daily totals per search term, never as a history of individual visitors.
This data is used solely to improve the Animdock Stock library — for example, to see which images people look for and which searches find nothing yet. It is completely anonymous and is never shared with, sold or given to any third-party person or organization.
In the same anonymous way, animdock.com and Animdock Stock count page views as daily totals per site, page and country (the two-letter code from Cloudflare). To show how many people are on the sites right now, each open browser tab sends a short signal when a page opens and every few minutes while it is visible, with a random identifier that is kept only in that tab's session storage (not a cookie) and deleted from our side a few minutes after the tab is closed. No cookies are used for this, and we never store your IP address, device, browser or anything that links these counts to you. Item view and download counts on Animdock Stock are kept as plain totals per file.
