What happens in your browser

You do not need an account to use this site. Emoji searches, message decoding, combination decoding, platform-slang filtering, aesthetic generation, and text-to-emoji conversion currently run in your browser. Text pasted into these tools is not sent to our server or saved by the features. The full emoji explorer downloads a locale-specific static Unicode catalog from this site and filters it on your device.

The Play area stores your streak, best score, and last-completed date in localStorage on your device. You can remove them by clearing this site’s browser data. LocalStorage is not a cookie, but it is described here for transparency.

Information that may reach us

EmojiMeanings is hosted and deployed through Netlify. Netlify may process routine request and server-log information such as IP address, browser or device type, requested URL, date, and error information to deliver, secure, and maintain the site. Netlify controls its own processing and retention under its published policies.

If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address and message. It is used to respond, investigate a correction, and protect the service. Do not include private chat content or sensitive data.

Advertising technology

The site may load Google advertising verification technology and publishes an ads.txt entry for the site owner’s Google publisher account. An ads.txt entry authorizes a seller account; it does not mean that an advertisement was displayed and it does not itself store data in the visitor’s browser.

When the AdSense loader is requested, Google may receive routine connection and request data such as the IP address, browser or device information, referring page, requested resource, and time of the request. Google controls its processing under its own policies. EmojiMeanings does not currently run a separate analytics product.

Advertising cookies and personalized advertising are not activated by EmojiMeanings unless ad serving is enabled and the consent and privacy controls required for the visitor’s region are in place.

Your choices, children, and updates

You can clear local game data in your browser, decline to send a contact message, or ask about information you previously sent. Depending on your location, you may also have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing.

The site is designed for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information. Contact us if you believe a child provided personal data.

This policy will be revised if the contact, analytics, advertising, or consent setup changes. Material changes will be reflected in the updated date on this page.
