PRIVACY
Your image stays under your control
The current maker works without an account and does not send your source image to an image-processing server.
Your current project and saved patterns
The current image and settings are kept in this tab’s session for language switching. Up to 24 completed bead grids (without original photos) are saved in this browser’s local storage and shown in My patterns. They remain until removed or site storage is cleared; they are not a cloud backup.
Clear when you are done
Clear project removes the current image and pattern from this browser session. Remove saved grids separately in My patterns, or clear this site’s browser storage. Downloaded files remain on your device.
Anonymous website statistics
We use self-hosted Umami to count visits and recent active visitors without analytics cookies. We record public page paths, referring domains, browser language and screen size. Page titles are replaced with our site name; query strings, URL fragments, account pages and verification links are excluded. We do not send photos, patterns, form entries or account identifiers to Umami.
Free-download allowance
To count free downloads, we use a browser identifier cookie lasting up to 400 days and send a pattern hash to the server to recognize repeat downloads. We do not send your source photo or the full pattern grid. Signed-in downloads also count toward your account allowance.
Accounts are optional
An account is needed to subscribe to Pro. We store your email, a salted password hash when set, your download allowance and subscription status. Verification emails are delivered by our shared Golden Dawn transactional mail service. Waffo handles payments and does not share your card number with us. Email support@perlerbeadideas.com for account deletion.
