CREOVLY
Privacy ArchitectureLast Updated: November 1, 2026

Privacy Policy

At Creovly, privacy is not an afterthought or a compliance disclaimer—it is the foundational engineering principle of our software. We believe your creative assets, channel drafts, and income projections belong exclusively to you.

1. 100% Client-Side Processing Architecture

Unlike traditional creator SaaS platforms, all file processing tools on Creovly (including the YouTube Thumbnail Compressor, Thumbnail Resizer, Logo Background Remover, Shorts Safe Zone Checker, and Title Checker) execute entirely inside your local web browser session using modern Web APIs (HTML5 Canvas, File API, Web Workers, and local JavaScript threads).

  • Your uploaded images, graphics, and thumbnail artwork are processed entirely in-memory and are never transmitted to any Creovly server, cloud storage, or external database.
  • Calculated financial models, RPM estimates, and scenario figures remain solely in temporary browser memory.
  • No media files, raw video assets, or photographic uploads are ever logged, cached, or retained on servers.

2. Information We Do and Do Not Collect

No Account Required: You do not need to register an account, authenticate via Google or YouTube OAuth, or provide personal payment credentials to use Creovly tools.

Voluntary Contact Communications & Email Processing: When you use our Contact page, the form formats your inquiry into an email draft in your local email application addressed to support@creovly.com rather than automatically submitting data to a website database. Delivery is not completed until you explicitly press “Send” in your email client. When you send an email to us, your message, sender address, and any optional information (such as your channel handle) are routed through and retained by standard email infrastructure—both by your email provider and by Creovly’s email service provider (inbox servers)—strictly so our team can read and answer your communication. Creovly does not store contact submissions in browser localStorage or on web application servers, and we never sell, rent, or distribute contact details to third-party data brokers or marketing vendors.

3. Local Browser Storage Inventory

To provide a seamless creator experience without requiring cloud logins or user accounts, Creovly utilizes standard browser localStorage on your physical device. We strictly disclose all stored keys below:

creovly-studio-draft-v1

Used in Publish Studio. Saves your project metadata (video title, description text, targets, and packaging settings) locally on your physical device only when you explicitly select “Save draft” (or press Ctrl+S / ⌘S). Publish Studio does not automatically save every edit as you type; saving is an intentional creator action. Binary image files are never stored in localStorage. You can reload your saved project with “Load saved draft” or delete it permanently using “Remove Saved Draft”.

creovly-checklist

Used in the Pre-Publish Checklist. Saves checked verification milestones so your workflow status is preserved across visits. You can reset this at any time using the “Reset Checklist” button.

creovly-theme

Stores your light or dark display preference (light or dark) to prevent screen flickering between page navigations.

creovly-consent

Stores your analytics cookie preference (granted or denied) in compliance with Google Consent Mode v2.

All stored browser data remains exclusively on your personal device and is never transmitted to Creovly servers. You can clear all items at any time through your web browser’s site settings or privacy options.

4. Web Analytics & Active Consent Handling

To monitor technical performance, diagnose broken tools, and understand aggregate creator traffic, Creovly utilizes Google Analytics 4 (Measurement ID: G-0JBY0X9MY4).

Creovly implements Google Consent Mode v2 in Advanced Consent Mode:

  • Default State & Declined Consent (Cookieless Measurement): By default—and whenever you explicitly choose “Decline Analytics”—analytics_storage is set to denied. In this state, Google Analytics does not set or read analytics cookies (such as _ga or _ga_*) on your browser. Under Google’s Advanced Consent Mode architecture, Google Analytics transmits aggregate, cookieless measurement pings (beacons) with IP masking enforced. These pings allow Google to model high-level site traffic and platform health without establishing a persistent cross-session identifier or tracking your device across visits.
  • Granted Consent: If you explicitly click “Accept Analytics” or enable analytics below, analytics_storage is updated to granted. Google Analytics then writes first-party cookies (_ga and _ga_*) to maintain continuous session analytics, distinguish repeat visits, and evaluate tool retention metrics.
  • Consent Revocation & Cookie Purging: You may revoke or modify your consent decision at any time using the control panel below. Revoking consent immediately resets analytics_storage to denied, purges active _ga, _ga_*, _gid, and _gat cookies from your browser, and persists your preference locally under creovly-consent.

All analytics measurements collect only technical telemetry (such as browser family, device category, referring URLs, and visited routes). We never collect creator identities, channel credentials, financial calculations, or uploaded media assets.

Your Current Consent Status

Status: Default (Denied until explicitly chosen)

Changing your preference to “Decline Analytics” updates Google Consent Mode v2 to denied, immediately purges any active Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*) from this browser, and restricts traffic signals to cookieless pings.

You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by adjusting your browser cookie settings or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Advertising & Google AdSense Disclosures

To keep Creovly tools free and accessible for creators worldwide, we may display third-party advertisements served by Google AdSense and its advertising partners. In accordance with Google advertising policies, we disclose the following:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to Creovly and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting www.aboutads.info.
  • For more information on how Google uses data when you use partner sites, visit Google’s Advertising Technologies Policy.

Consent Management Notice: For visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, advertising will comply with Google’s EU User Consent Policy using a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) integrated with the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) upon ad deployment.
