What stays in your browser

Visuals are composed directly within your browser.

Your settings (styles, colors, entered text, avatar photo, etc.) are saved in your browser's local storage so they are available for your next visit; they are not sent to ClicShot.

You can delete them at any time using the "Reset all" button or via your browser settings.

Exported images

When you download, copy, or share a visual, information is sent to ClicShot for statistical purposes: the tool and style used, format, dimensions, interface language, and date. This helps track service usage and enables improvements. This data is neither published nor resold.

Retention period: 12 months.

IP address

To prevent abuse, image uploads, webpage captures, and code generation are limited per hour and per visitor. For this purpose, ClicShot records a fingerprint of your IP address: the address is transformed using a hashing function with a secret key and is never stored in plain text.

Third-party services

• Webpage capture (Screenshot tool): the page address you enter is transmitted via API to a service that performs the capture.
• Sample code generation (Code tool): the prompt you enter is transmitted to Mistral AI (France), which generates the code.

Do not include personal data in your prompt. These services receive only the information you enter for the specific feature and process it according to their own terms.

Contact form

When you write to us, we receive your name, email address, phone number (if provided), and your message. This information is used solely to respond to you. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in responding to inquiries received. Retention period: 3 years after our last interaction, followed by deletion.

Audience measurement and cookies

ClicShot uses Matomo—hosted by API Studio on a server located in France—without cookies and with truncated IP addresses. Statistics are anonymous, are not cross-referenced with other data processing operations or shared with third parties, and are retained for a maximum of 25 months.

Legal basis

This data processing is based on the publisher's legitimate interest: operating the service, protecting it against abuse, and improving it.

Your rights

In accordance with the GDPR and the French Data Protection Act (*Loi Informatique et Libertés*), you have the right to access, rectify, erase, and restrict the processing of your data, as well as the right to object to such processing. To exercise these rights, please write to hello@api-studio.fr. You may also lodge a complaint with the CNIL (www.cnil.fr).
