Privacy

This page explains the current data practices for Rotware's website and browser-based meme tools.

What Rotware collects

You can browse public pages and use the basic editor without creating a Rotware account. The site records limited product and performance events through Vercel Analytics so the project can understand which pages help people find templates and complete an export.

These events may include a page type, template slug or sanitized template name, editor format, export profile, result count, sanitized internal-search text, and Core Web Vitals such as LCP, INP, and CLS. Search terms are trimmed, shortened, and obvious email addresses and phone numbers are redacted before the event is sent. The SEO events are not designed to send caption text, uploaded image contents, or private query strings.

Rotware also uses PostHog for product analytics: page views, the product events above, meme exports (which tool and file format, not the meme itself), and account sign-ups. PostHog stores a first-party cookie and local storage identifier to group a visit. If you sign in, events are linked to your Rotware account ID; your email address and name are not sent to PostHog.

On the meme editor, GIF, video, filter, AI generator, and tools pages, PostHog may record a session replay so the project can see how people use the editors. A replay captures page layout, clicks, scrolling, and low-resolution snapshots of the editor canvas, which can include the meme you are making and its captions. Typed form fields such as email and password are masked before anything leaves the browser. Other pages are not recorded.

Rotware may also receive ordinary technical information from hosting, security, analytics, and advertising providers, such as a browser, device, approximate location, IP address, and request timing. Those providers process information under their own policies and contracts.

Advertising cookies and third parties

Rotware may load Google AdSense on public pages only after the visitor allows advertising services and the deployment has enabled the advertising flag. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar identifiers to serve and measure ads. Advertising cookies can be used for contextual or personalized advertising depending on the settings available for the visitor and the publisher account.

Read How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services, manage personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings, or use the controls available through the relevant ad or browser. Google's publisher privacy guidance explains the disclosures required for AdSense.

Depending on the feature you use, the application can also request media or processing services such as Cloudinary, Giphy, Replicate, or other providers configured by the project. A provider is contacted only when the relevant feature requires it; review that provider's privacy and terms pages before submitting material you do not own.

Your images and content

The basic image editor is designed to process ordinary edits in the browser. Some advanced or animated features can upload media to a configured processing service so that a file can be converted or downloaded. Do not upload confidential, sensitive, or third-party material unless you have the permission and rights needed for that feature.

Rotware does not promise permanent storage for generated files, temporary jobs, or third-party media. Keep a local copy of anything important, and do not assume that a public template or image is copyright-free or commercially licensed. The original creator's rights, licence terms, and the rules of the platform where you share the result still apply.

AI meme generation

When you use the text-to-meme feature, Rotware uses Better Auth and Google, Apple, or email sign-in to identify your account, then sends your prompt and a limited set of reviewed template instructions to the configured AI model provider. A paid credit balance is required for AI meme generation; browsing templates and using the basic editor remain available without an account. Do not enter confidential, identifying, or sensitive personal information.

Generation records, captions, and hosted output images are associated with your authenticated account, excluded from search indexing, and scheduled for deletion after 72 hours. Editor AI actions and generated memes cost 1 credit each. Prompts are not published as public pages.

Choices and questions

You can choose “Continue without advertising” in Rotware's preference prompt, block or delete cookies through your browser, use available Google advertising controls, and enable your browser's Do Not Track preference. Rotware's analytics boundary drops page views, product events, session replays, and deferred Web Vitals when the browser reports Do Not Track. Browser settings may affect editor preferences and the availability of some features.

For a data question, correction request, or removal concern, use the Rotware contact page or reach out through @fardeentwt on X or the public GitHub repository. Include enough context to identify the request, but do not send passwords, payment details, or unnecessary sensitive information.

This disclosure describes the current product implementation and is not legal advice. Applicable privacy, cookie-consent, children's privacy, and data-rights obligations depend on where the site and its visitors operate. The site owner should review those obligations and configure a Google-certified consent-management platform before enabling AdSense for visitors in regions where consent is required; this local preference gate is not a substitute for that regional compliance setup.
