Effective date: May 24, 2026
Neon Cursor ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit neoncursor.com or use the Neon Cursor browser extension, and how that information is used.
1. Information we collect
Automatic data
When you visit our website, our servers and analytics providers may automatically record:
- Your IP address and approximate geographic region
- Browser type, operating system, and device class
- Pages you view, the date and time of access, and the referring URL
- Anonymous interaction events such as cursor downloads or ratings
Ratings
When you rate a cursor, we store the rating value together with a one-way SHA-256 hash of your IP address and user agent. We use this hash only to prevent duplicate votes; it cannot be reversed to identify you personally.
Browser extension
The Neon Cursor extension stores your cursor selections and preferences locally in your browser via the standard chrome.storage API. This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functional and to understand how visitors use it. The main categories are:
- Essential cookies — required for basic site functionality (for example, remembering your theme preference).
- Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to give us aggregated statistics about traffic and engagement.
- Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense and its partners to serve and measure ads. Google may use this information to personalise the ads you see, including across other sites.
You can disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings, or manage Google's ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com.
3. Third-party services
The following third parties may receive information about your visit:
- Google Analytics — anonymised usage statistics. See Google's privacy policy.
- Google AdSense — serves advertising on the site. Google's ad partners may set cookies to personalise ads.
- Chrome Web Store — handles installation and updates of our browser extension. Google's terms apply to the install process.
4. How we use your information
We use the information described above to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website and extension
- Prevent abuse such as duplicate ratings or malicious uploads
- Understand which content visitors find useful
- Serve relevant advertising via Google AdSense
We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.
5. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. You can exercise these rights by contacting us at contact@neoncursor.com.
EU and UK visitors are protected under the GDPR; California residents under the CCPA. We will respond to verifiable requests within the timeframes those laws require.
6. Children's privacy
Neon Cursor is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
7. Data security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), restricted server access, and regular software updates. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review the policy periodically.
