Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 13, 2026

Printable Grid Paper is designed with a privacy-first architecture. We do not require accounts, we do not create personal profiles, and we minimize data collection to what is technically necessary to operate and maintain this free service.

1. Your Settings Stay in the Link

When you customize paper parameters such as grid spacing, line color, or paper size in our generator, your selections are encoded directly into the web address query string.

We do not store your customized settings in tracking cookies or browser local storage. When you bookmark or share a link, your exact configuration opens for anyone using that link without reading any client-side stored data.

2. Pageview Analytics

We use Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure overall site traffic and understand how visitors discover and use our templates. These tools collect aggregate statistics such as page views, visitor country of origin, browser type, and referrers. We use this data to improve template variety and site performance.

Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to record interaction data. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing your visits by disabling cookies in your browser or by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

3. Information You Provide to Us

If you contact us via email or submit a message through our contact form, we collect the information you choose to provide (such as your name, email address, and message content). We use this information solely to review, respond to, and resolve your inquiry. We do not sell, rent, or trade your contact information to third-party marketing brokers.

4. California Consumer Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have specific rights regarding their personal information:

  • Right to Know: You may request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal data collected.
  • Right to Delete: You may request deletion of your personal data collected by us.
  • No Sale or Sharing of Personal Information: We do not sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

To exercise your rights, please submit a request through our contact page. We will respond within 45 days.

5. European Privacy Rights (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  • The right to restrict or object to the processing of your data.

Our legal basis for collecting aggregate analytics and maintaining website security is our legitimate interest in providing a reliable, free online utility.

6. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union).
