Privacy and Cookie Policy
arabicfont.net collects as little data as it can: no account, no sign-up, and we do not record who downloads what. This page explains what we process, why, for how long, and how to exercise your rights.
Who is responsible
Advance Web SARL, Djerba, Tunisia, the publisher of the site (see the legal notice). For any question about your data: contact@advance-web.net, or the contact page.
What we process
| When | Data | Why, and on what basis | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| You send the contact form | name, email, subject, message, requested font and sample link | to reply to you (legitimate interest) | 24 months, then deleted automatically |
| You post a comment | name, email (never shown), IP address, browser, text | to publish and moderate comments (legitimate interest) | as long as the comment is online |
| You rate a font | a fingerprint computed with a secret key from your IP address and browser; the IP address itself is never stored | to count one vote per person (legitimate interest) | 25 months |
| You download a font or follow a store link | a daily total per font, with nothing about you | catalog statistics (no personal data) | 25 months |
| You visit a page | server logs: IP address, date, page requested | security and troubleshooting (legitimate interest) | 12 months at most |
| Personalized ads | Google advertising cookies and identifiers | to fund the site (your consent, where it is asked) | see the cookie table |
What you type in the Arabic keyboard is never sent to the site. It stays in your browser, where the keyboard keeps your draft.
Who receives data
- Hetzner Online GmbH, our host, stores the site’s data on its servers in Germany, inside the European Union.
- The Advance Web team accesses it from Tunisia to run the site and answer messages.
- Google, for advertising (see below).
- Gravatar (Automattic, United States) shows commenters’ profile pictures from a hash of their email address, under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework; your browser contacts its servers on pages with comments.
We do not sell any data. Contact messages are read only by the Advance Web team.
A link to a paid font goes through a redirect on our site, then to the seller. Once you are on the seller’s site, the seller or its affiliate network may set its own cookies, and its own privacy policy applies.
Google ads
The site is funded by Google AdSense ads. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a banner asks for your choice before any personalized ad is shown. If you decline, Google shows non-personalized ads, with cookies limited to fraud prevention and ad measurement. Google may process data in the United States under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. More details: how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
The legal pages and the contact page show no ads.
Cookies and local storage
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| FCCDCF, FCNEC | Google (consent banner) | remember your cookie choice | up to 13 months |
| __gads, __gpi, IDE | Google AdSense | serve and measure ads, personalized only if you agreed | up to 13 months |
| comment_author_* | arabicfont.net | remember your name and email for your next comment, if you tick the box | 1 year |
| af-rating:* (local storage) | arabicfont.net | show the rating you gave a font | until you clear it |
| afKb* (local storage) | arabicfont.net | remember your word choices, settings and current draft in the keyboard | until you clear it |
Local storage stays on your device; the site does not read it remotely. On a shared computer, clear the keyboard text when you are done. The site’s fonts are served from our own servers, with no call to a third-party font service.
You can change your choice at any time with the “Manage cookies” button at the bottom of every page, including this one. You can also clear cookies and local storage in your browser settings.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct, delete or port your data, and object to its processing. Email contact@advance-web.net with the address you used on the site; we reply within one month at most.
These rights come from Tunisian Organic Law No. 2004-63 of 27 July 2004 on personal data protection and, if you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, from the GDPR or its UK equivalent. You can also complain to your data protection authority, such as the ICO in the UK, the CNIL in France or the INPDP in Tunisia.
