Privacy — Gnomad Webcanvas
Version: 0.1.0-beta.2 (alpha)
Last updated: June 2026
Summary
Gnomad Webcanvas is local-first. Your code stays on your device unless you explicitly export, save to disk, or share a URL. There is no Gnomad-operated backend collecting editor content in v0.1.
What we collect
| Data | Collected by app? | Sent to Gnomad? |
|---|---|---|
| HTML/CSS/JS source | Stored locally | No |
| Project metadata | localStorage (web) | No |
| Open file paths | Desktop memory only | No |
| Usage analytics | Not implemented | No |
| Crash reports | Not implemented | No |
Where data lives
Web mode
- localStorage in your browser — project index and code
- URL hash when sharing — encoded in the link you copy
- Clearing browser data removes saved projects
Desktop mode
- Files you save — wherever you choose via Save dialog
- localStorage may still persist project index inside the WebView
- No automatic cloud sync
Third-party services
| Service | When used | Data shared |
|---|---|---|
| CDN providers | User enables libraries (Tailwind, GSAP, etc.) | Browser fetches scripts from cdnjs, jsdelivr, etc. |
| Google Fonts | User selects font pairing | Browser fetches font files |
| Monaco CDN | Editor loading | Fetches editor assets |
| GitHub | Downloading releases | Standard GitHub download logs |
We do not control third-party CDN logging. Disable libraries if offline or privacy-sensitive.
Share links
Share encodes your full project into the URL hash (#...):
- Hash is not sent to servers on navigation (fragment stays client-side)
- Anyone with the link can decode the project
- Do not share URLs containing secrets or private data
Your choices
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Use web mode in private browsing | No persistence between sessions |
| Export ZIP | You control where the file goes |
| Desktop Save | You control file location |
| Clear site data | Removes localStorage projects |
Children
Gnomad Webcanvas is a developer tool, not directed at children under 13.
