Introduction

We take your privacy seriously. This explains how we handle your data when you use the City Boy meme generator.

Our Privacy-First Approach

The meme generator is built with privacy as a core principle. Here's what makes us different:

  • No Meme Upload: All meme creation happens directly in your browser. Your memes never leave your device.
  • No User Accounts: We don't require registration, so we don't collect or store personal account information.
  • No Watermarks: We don't add watermarks or tracking pixels to your memes.
  • No Cloud Storage: Your memes are not stored on our servers.
