Your information

How we handle your data

This policy covers browsing, local accounts, newsletter signup, and font downloads. It stays short so you can find the part that matters.

We do not sell data

Personal information is never sold. Sharing is limited to hosting, legal requests, and links you choose to open.

Guest data stays here

Saved fonts and a local profile live in your browser. Clearing site data on this device removes them.

Privacy Policy

freefontdesigners.com (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is a free font catalog for designers. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you visit our website, create a local account profile, subscribe to email updates, or download fonts. By using the site, you agree to this policy.

01

Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to run the catalog, remember your preferences on this device, and send updates you asked for.

  • Account details you type locally in Profile (display name). Guest sessions are stored in your browser, not in a user database.
  • Newsletter email if you subscribe in the footer.
  • Usage data such as pages viewed, search queries, and download requests, collected through standard server and analytics logs.
  • Cookies and similar technology for site function, language, and remembering UI state. You can Decline extras, Accept All, or choose Optional cache in the banner and Cookie settings.

02

How We Use Your Information

We use information to operate and improve freefontdesigners.com.

  • Provide the catalog, search, and font downloads.
  • Remember saved fonts and download history on this device.
  • Send newsletter messages if you opted in.
  • Detect abuse, debug errors, and keep the service available.
  • Understand which typefaces and pages are popular so we can improve the library.

03

Sharing of Information

We do not sell personal information. We share data only in these cases:

  • Infrastructure providers that host the site, database, and file storage (for example Supabase).
  • Email delivery if a newsletter service is connected later.
  • When required by law, or to protect the site, designers, or other users.
  • Designer donate or commercial-license links that you choose to open — those sites have their own policies.

04

International Users and Third-Party Services

The site may be hosted and accessed from more than one country. Preview and webfont delivery can involve third-party infrastructure. When you leave freefontdesigners.com for a designer’s website, Fontspring, Google Fonts, or another vendor, their privacy terms apply.

05

Security of Your Data

We use HTTPS, access controls on private font files, and least-privilege keys for public catalog reads. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Do not upload secrets into profile fields. If you believe your information was exposed, contact us using the details in section 9.

06

Children's Privacy

freefontdesigners.com is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided an email through the newsletter form, contact us and we will delete it.

07

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold, or to stop newsletter mail. Guest profile and saved-font data live in your browser — clearing site data on this device removes them. For newsletter email stored on our servers, use the contact address in section 9.

08

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the site grows. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the new policy.

09

Contact

Questions about privacy, data, or this policy: email hello@freefontdesigners.com or use the Contact page. We will respond as soon as we reasonably can.

10

GDPR Privacy

If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we process personal data on these bases: consent (newsletter), legitimate interests (running a public catalog, security, and aggregated usage), and contract (providing downloads you request). You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability, and you may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. We keep newsletter addresses until you unsubscribe, and server logs for a limited operational period. International transfers use providers with appropriate safeguards.

11

Cookies and device cache

A banner lets you Decline optional storage, Accept All, or choose Optional cache. Essential storage (sign-in session, security, and this choice) always stays on. Recommended Optional defaults are Performance cache and Preferences on, Analytics off. Change this later from Cookie settings in the footer.

  • Essential: required to run the site and remember your cookie choice.
  • Performance cache (recommended): catalog and font-preview cache, plus Start Creation uploads on this device.
  • Preferences (recommended): saved fonts, download history, guest profile, and studio tour progress on this device.
  • Analytics (optional): anonymous usage. Off unless you turn it on or tap Accept All.
