Privacy

VectorBench has no accounts, no ads and no ad trackers. This is everything it stores and why.

When you vote

We set one cookie, vb_voter, holding a random ID that lasts a year. It’s how a vote is counted once and how we avoid dealing you the same pair twice. With each vote we store that ID, the pair you saw, your answer and how long you took.

We also store a scrambled form of your network address. It can’t be turned back into the address, and we use it only to limit how fast one visitor can vote or submit.

When you submit a drawing

We store the SVG, the model you named, and the X or Discord name you chose to add, along with the same scrambled network address. If your drawing joins the arena, the drawing and that name are public. Leave the credit off and nothing identifies you.

Page views

We count which pages are opened each day and which site sent the visitor. The count has no cookie and no visitor ID, and nothing is counted if your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal. We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which measures visits and page speed without cookies and without following you to other sites.

On your device

Your browser keeps a tally of how many votes you’ve cast, to show on the vote page. It never leaves your device.

Who else handles it

Cloudflare hosts the site, so every request passes through its network and it keeps its own short-lived logs. If we turn on a bot check for the submit form, it’s Cloudflare Turnstile. We don’t sell or share anything with anyone else.

Having something removed

Email us with the reference you were given when you submitted and we’ll remove the drawing or just the credit. To drop your voter ID, clear this site’s cookies.
