Introduction
Symbol Aesthetic, at symbolaesthetic.id, is a free website for browsing and copying Unicode symbols. There is no account system. Copying a symbol happens in your browser.
This policy describes the information the site actually uses, the information we do not collect on purpose, and how advertising would work if Google AdSense is turned on. Publishing this page does not mean an advertising network has approved the site.
If you email info@symbolaesthetic.id, that message is a direct email to us. The Contact Us form does not save a copy on the website.
Information We Collect
Information you send by email
If you write to info@symbolaesthetic.id, we receive whatever you include, such as your name, email address, subject, and message. We use that message to reply, fix a problem, or consider a business inquiry. We do not add it to a user account, because the site does not have accounts.
Information stored in your browser
On the homepage, the site can save a few preferences in your browser’s local storage. That storage stays on your device. We do not receive it on a server. It may include:
- Your language choice, English or Indonesian.
- Your light or dark theme choice.
- Symbols you mark as favorites.
- Symbols you recently copied, so the homepage can show them again.
You can remove this information by clearing site data for symbolaesthetic.id in your browser. Category pages, tool pages, and this policy page do not require an account to view.
Technical information handled by the host
Like most websites, the service that hosts Symbol Aesthetic may keep short-lived connection logs, such as an IP address, browser type, date, and the page requested. Those logs are used to deliver the pages and to protect the site. We do not use them to build a marketing profile, and we do not sell them.
Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not ask for a password, phone number, payment card, or government ID. We do not run a checkout. We do not sell personal information.
The contact form is not a database. Choosing Send Message opens your email application. If you do not send the email, we do not receive the message. We do not place our own analytics tag on these pages, and we do not currently embed Google AdSense ad code.
How We Use Information
We use information only for the reasons below:
- To show the website and the symbol tools.
- To remember the homepage preferences described above, on your device.
- To read and answer email you send us.
- To look into copyright, security, or misuse reports.
- To keep the site available and to understand a technical problem you report.
- To show and measure ads if we later enable an advertising service, as described below.
We do not use your email address for a mailing list unless you ask us to contact you about that topic.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
A cookie is a small text file a site or service can store in your browser. Symbol Aesthetic’s own pages do not set a first-party cookie for accounts or tracking. The homepage uses local storage, which is similar browser storage and is described above.
Your browser may also store cookies set by another service if that service is loaded on a page. Today, these pages do not load an advertising or analytics script. If we enable Google AdSense later, Google and its partners may set cookies then. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking them may change how ads appear. It does not stop you from copying symbols.
Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies
Symbol Aesthetic may use Google AdSense to show ads and help pay for the website. At the time of this policy, AdSense ad code is not installed on the pages. This section explains what happens if we enable it, so the disclosure is ready and accurate.
When AdSense is active, Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads, to limit how often you see an ad, and to measure whether an ad was viewed or clicked. Google’s description of advertising cookies is published at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. How Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
We do not receive the contents of Google’s advertising cookies as a file we store. Google processes that information under its own policies. We may see aggregated reports, such as how many ads were shown, if AdSense provides them.
Third-Party Advertising Partners
If ads are enabled, Google may work with other advertising companies to deliver or measure them. Those companies can use cookies or mobile identifiers only as allowed by Google’s program and by the consent choices you make where consent is required.
We do not give those partners a list of names or email addresses, because we do not keep that kind of list. An advertiser does not get the symbols you copy unless you yourself paste them somewhere else.
Google Advertising and Personalized Ads
Personalized ads are ads chosen using information about your activity, such as earlier visits to websites that use Google advertising. Non-personalized ads are still served with cookies in many cases, but they are not tailored in that way. Google explains the difference in its ad settings and advertising policies.
You can review and change your Google ad settings at adssettings.google.com. Industry opt-out pages include aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.eu. Those pages are run by third parties.
Consent where it is required
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, local rules generally require consent before cookies are used for personalized advertising. Before we serve personalized ads to visitors in those regions, we will use a Google-certified consent management platform so you can accept or refuse that use.
A consent tool is not shown on the site today, because advertising scripts are not loaded. Visiting Symbol Aesthetic is not treated as consent for personalized ads. If a consent message is added later, your choice will be stored by that tool so you are not asked on every page, and you will be able to change it.
Analytics and Website Performance
We do not currently install Google Analytics or another analytics product. Copying a symbol, searching the library, and using the text, nickname, and combiner tools are handled in your browser.
If we add a privacy-respecting measurement tool later, we will update this policy before using it to describe what it measures and whether it uses cookies. Ordinary hosting logs, described above, may still exist so the site can be served and protected.
Third-Party Links
The footer links to our profiles on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Reddit, and X. Those sites have their own privacy policies and may set their own cookies after you leave Symbol Aesthetic. A symbol you paste into another app is then handled by that app, not by this website.
If ads are enabled, an ad may also link to an advertiser. We do not control that destination.
Data Security
We do not store a visitor database on the website. Email you send is kept in our mailbox and is protected by the email provider’s ordinary safeguards. No method of sending email or browsing the web is perfectly secure. Please avoid sending passwords or payment details. We do not need them.
Data Retention
Homepage preferences remain in your browser until you clear them or until the browser removes site data. We do not keep a server copy of favorites or recent symbols.
Emails are kept long enough to answer you, to keep a record of a copyright or security report, and for ordinary correspondence. We delete or archive messages when they are no longer needed for those purposes. Hosting logs follow the hosting provider’s retention schedule.
Children’s Privacy
Symbol Aesthetic is a general website about text symbols. It is not directed to children under 13, or under 16 where that higher age applies. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child sent us personal information, email info@symbolaesthetic.id and we will delete that message if we can identify it.
User Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to object to or restrict certain uses, and to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. You may also have the right to opt out of sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information.
Because the site does not keep user accounts, the information we can actually look up is usually an email you sent us. Browser preferences stay on your device, and you can delete them there. To make a request, email info@symbolaesthetic.id with the address you used and what you want us to do. We may need to confirm that the request comes from you. We will respond within a reasonable time.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy when the site changes, for example if advertising or a consent message is added. The new version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Please check this page when you return. If a change would apply to email you already sent us, we will not use that older message for a new purpose that this policy did not allow.
Contact Information
Privacy questions can be sent to info@symbolaesthetic.id or through the Contact Us page. You can also read About Us and the Terms of Use.
