Privacy

Short version: your voice and your face never leave your computer. We only store pictures you choose to turn into an OBS link.

Microphone

Lip sync reads your microphone's loudness in the browser (Web Audio). No audio is recorded, stored or sent anywhere.

Camera

Face tracking runs Google's MediaPipe Face Landmarker in your browser. Camera pictures are processed on your device and never uploaded. When you first turn it on, the browser downloads the MediaPipe runtime from jsDelivr and the face model from Google's storage. While it runs, MediaPipe itself sends anonymous usage statistics to Google (odml.pa.googleapis.com), as Google ships it.

Pictures you upload

Pictures you drop into "Your own PNGTuber" stay in your browser. Only when you click Make OBS link are they uploaded (up to four images and the name you typed) so the link can show them. Anyone with the link can see those pictures. The browser that made the link can delete them with Delete my uploaded pictures. Don't upload pictures you don't have the right to use.

Live link

While a link is open in OBS, this tab sends the character's pose (head angles, mouth openness) about 20 times a second through our server to that OBS page. It is passed along, not stored. The room key in your link is random and kept in your browser.

Cookies and tracking

No ads, no analytics cookies. The site remembers a few settings (sensitivity, your room key, your last link) in your browser's local storage. To see which steps work and where people get stuck, the pages send anonymous usage events to our own server (for example "microphone turned on", "OBS link made", how long a model took to load): a random visit id, the page, your browser type, screen width, country and where you came from. Never what you say, type or upload, your pictures or your email. Your IP address passes through only as a rate-limit key and is never stored. We don't send anything if your browser asks not to be tracked (Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control). The OBS page sends nothing. When it's switched on, upload abuse protection uses Cloudflare Turnstile. Signing in sets one session cookie.
