Overview
SVG Editor (svgeditor.co.uk) is a free, open-source, browser-based SVG editor. We are committed to respecting your privacy. This policy explains what information is collected when you use the site, how it is used, and what choices you have.
Because SVG Editor runs entirely in your browser, the vast majority of your data never leaves your device. We do not require accounts, collect personal information, or upload your files to any server.
Information We Collect
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-3DSBLVFLPW) to collect anonymised usage data. This helps us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. Google Analytics collects information such as:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Approximate geographic region (country or city level, not precise location)
- Browser type, operating system, and screen resolution
- Referral source (how you arrived at the site)
This data is aggregated and anonymised. We do not use Google Analytics to identify individual visitors, and IP anonymisation is enabled.
Local Storage
SVG Editor uses your browser's localStorage to save your theme preference (light or dark mode). This data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party.
Information We Do Not Collect
SVG Editor is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect:
- Personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number
- Account credentials — there are no user accounts or sign-up forms
- Files you create or edit — all SVG processing happens entirely in your browser
- File uploads to any server — your work stays on your device
Cookies and Tracking
Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique visitors and track sessions. These cookies (typically named _ga and _ga_<container-id>) are small text files stored in your browser. They contain randomly generated identifiers and expiration timestamps — they do not contain personal information.
SVG Editor itself does not set any additional cookies beyond those used by Google Analytics.
Data Storage
Your SVG projects and editor state are stored using IndexedDB, a browser-based database that lives entirely on your device. Your theme preference is stored in localStorage. Neither of these are transmitted to any server.
This means your work is private by default. If you clear your browser data, your locally stored projects and preferences will be removed. We recommend exporting any important SVG files to your computer.
Third-Party Services
SVG Editor uses a small number of third-party services:
- Google Analytics — for anonymised usage statistics, as described above.
- Google Fonts — the fonts used on this site (DM Sans, Space Grotesk, JetBrains Mono) were originally sourced from Google Fonts but are now self-hosted at build time. No requests are made to Google Fonts servers when you visit the site.
- GitHub — the source code for SVG Editor is hosted on GitHub. Visiting the GitHub repository is subject to GitHub's privacy policy.
Open Source
SVG Editor is fully open source. You can review the complete source code, including how analytics is implemented, on our GitHub repository:
github.com/Bytes-Reality/Simple-SVG-Editor
Transparency is a core value of this project. If you have concerns about how data is handled, the codebase is available for inspection.
Children's Privacy
SVG Editor is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the site does not require accounts or collect personal data, there is minimal risk. If you believe a child has somehow provided personal information through the site, please contact us so we can address the concern.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in the site or in applicable regulations. When we make changes, we will update the date at the bottom of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
