Plain language, no legal filler

Privacy Policy

This page explains, in plain language, what happens when you search, browse and copy emoji on this site, what this site collects when you simply visit it, and who to contact with questions. The short version: the emoji keyboard itself works entirely inside your own browser, nothing you search for is sent to a server, and this site does not use tracking cookies.

The Emoji Keyboard Itself Collects Nothing

Searching, filtering by category, and previewing skin tones all run as plain JavaScript in your own browser. When you type into the search box, the results are filtered on your device and shown to you immediately. Nothing you search for is sent to a server, stored in a database, or visible to us in any form.

The only thing saved locally is your "Recently copied" emoji list, kept in your browser's own storage (localStorage) purely so it's still there the next time you visit. That list never leaves your device, is never transmitted anywhere, and can be removed at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.

What This Site Collects When You Simply Visit It

Like almost every website, basic technical information passes through our hosting provider automatically as part of serving pages, such as your approximate region (derived from network routing, not GPS), the page requested, and standard technical request headers. This is normal web server operation, not something specific to this site, and it is not linked to anything you search for or copy.

This site does not currently run any third-party analytics or visitor-counting service. What it does record is a small anonymous engagement signal per page visit, sent directly to this site's own server: for example, roughly how long you stayed on a page, how quickly you started interacting with it, or whether you used the tool. This has no cookie, no account, and no way to trace it back to a specific person, and it exists only to help us understand whether a page is actually useful, not to count visitors or track anyone individually. There is no advertising tracking pixel, no cross-site tracking cookie, and no sale of visitor data to third parties.

Feedback and Contact

If you use the thumbs-up or thumbs-down feedback control on this site, an anonymous rating is recorded for that page, with no personal information attached and no way to trace it back to you individually.

If you email us at contact@emojifree.xyz, we naturally receive whatever information you choose to include in that email, such as your email address and the content of your message. That information is used only to reply to you and is not added to any marketing list or shared with third parties.

See the emoji keyboard for the tool this policy covers, and how to copy and paste emoji for how it's typically used.

Data Retention and Your Choices

Because the emoji keyboard itself never transmits what you search for, there is no server-side copy of it to retain or delete in the first place. The only data point that could exist is the local "Recently copied" list described above, and you control that directly: clearing your browser's cookies and site data for this domain removes it completely, with no need to contact us first.

Engagement signal numbers are retained for a limited reporting window and are not tied to an individual visitor identity, so there is no per-person record to request or delete. If you emailed us directly, that message sits in a normal email inbox like any other message you send someone, and you can ask us to delete a specific email exchange at any time using the same contact address.

Your Rights Under GDPR, CCPA and Similar Laws

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under a privacy law such as the EU/UK GDPR or the California CCPA, including the right to know what personal data is held about you, the right to ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and the right to object to certain processing. Given that this site collects no personal data through the emoji keyboard itself and no advertising trackers, in practice the only personal data that can exist is whatever you voluntarily sent in an email. Any such request can be sent to contact@emojifree.xyz and will be honored without requiring an account, a login, or a fee.

Children's Privacy and Third-Party Links

This site is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age, through the emoji keyboard. A handful of pages on this site link to other pages within the same site; those internal links stay entirely within this domain. If an external link is ever added, it will be to reputable, publicly documented sources, and this policy only covers this site, not any third-party destination a visitor chooses to click through to.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes in a way that affects what data is collected, this page will be updated and the date below will change. Checking back here occasionally is the simplest way to stay current, since there is no account or email list to notify separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you store what I search for on the emoji keyboard?

No. Searching and filtering happen entirely in your browser. The only local record is your recently-copied emoji list, saved in your own browser's storage so it's there next time you visit, and it never reaches a server.

Do you use cookies?

This site does not set tracking cookies. It records a small anonymous engagement signal per page visit, such as roughly how long you stayed or whether you used the tool, sent directly to this site's own server, not an aggregate visitor-counting service and not an individual profile of you.

Do you sell or share visitor data?

No. There is no advertising tracking pixel, no data broker relationship, and no sale of visitor information to third parties.

How do I contact you about a privacy question?

Email contact@emojifree.xyz. We read every message sent there.

Is this the same as an Impressum?

No. An Impressum is a specific legal disclosure required for websites operating in the German market. This is an English-language site with no German-market presence, so a plain privacy policy is the appropriate page here instead.

Do I have GDPR or CCPA rights here even though the tool collects nothing?

Yes, those rights still apply to you generally, they simply have little to act on in this case since the emoji keyboard itself does not collect personal data. If you ever emailed us directly, you can ask for that specific email to be deleted at any time using the same contact address.

Is this site safe for kids to use?

The tool itself is a simple copy-paste utility with no accounts, no chat, and no data collection, so there is nothing here that specifically targets or profiles children. It is not, however, designed or marketed as a children's product.
