At PerlerBeads.net, we are committed to maintaining the trust of our visitors. This document explains our practices regarding the handling of information when you interact with our Perler Bead Pattern Generator and related services.
Operational Data (Non-Personal): To optimize our platform's performance, we automatically monitor technical details such as:
This data is used for analytics and user experience improvement.
Voluntary Information: We do not harvest personally identifiable data. The only personal information we process is what you choose to share with us via direct correspondence (e.g., emailing our support team).
Privacy of Your Original Photos: Your privacy is built into our technology. Image conversion occurs on your local machine. We never upload, view, or store the original photos you use to create your designs.
Optional Public Pattern Sharing: If you explicitly choose Publish and share, we upload only the generated bead-pattern preview—not your original photo—to Cloudflare R2. We create a public, hard-to-guess share URL so Pinterest and people you share the link with can display the pattern. Shared patterns are retained long-term so existing Pins do not break. They are not added to our public sitemap and are not intended to be searchable on our site. To request removal, email support@perlerbeads.net with the shared page URL.
We utilize cookies to deliver a seamless crafting experience:
Saved Preferences: These small files allow the site to remember your selected Grid Sizes, custom Brand Palettes (such as Hama or Artkal), and specific Max Color settings.
Analytics: We use standard industry tools like Bing Webmaster Tools to analyze site traffic and improve our generator's functionality.
Ad Services: Our partners, including Google AdSense, may use cookies to provide relevant advertisements based on your browsing interests.
This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements.
Our tool calculates precise Bead Counts and manages complex Color Distributions (supporting libraries up to 291 shades). This data is generated in real-time within your browser session and is used solely to produce your Print-Ready Blueprints.
While no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security, we implement robust measures to safeguard your interaction with our site. Your original image data never leaves your environment. A generated preview leaves your device only when you confirm the optional public sharing action described above.
Our pages may contain references or links to third-party bead manufacturers or external sites. We do not control their privacy protocols and suggest reviewing their individual policies upon visiting.
PerlerBeads.net is a family-friendly resource, but it is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13. We comply with standard privacy regulations and do not intentionally store data from minors.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy as our features evolve. Any updates will be reflected here with a revised "Last Updated" timestamp.
PerlerBeads.net is operated as an independent online crafting tool and guide library.
If you have questions about this policy, your data, or how advertising technologies are used on this site, please contact us by email and include the page you were using when the issue occurred.
