Privacy
What pixl keeps, what it sends elsewhere, and how to delete all of it. Short, because there is not much to say.
What we store
- Your account. A name, an email address, and either a password (stored hashed, never readable by us) or the id Google gives us when you sign in with Google. Nothing else from your Google account is kept: no contacts, no calendar, no files.
- Your show. The projects, layouts, sequences, controllers, shaders and files you make or upload. Audio and pictures sit on a disk attached to the server. This is your work and it is only visible to you and the people you share a project with, except for what you choose to publish to the shared library.
- A session cookie. The one that keeps you logged in. No advertising or tracking cookies, no analytics scripts.
- Server logs. Requests and errors, with IP addresses, kept briefly for keeping the site running.
What leaves the server
Some features call other companies' services, and only when you use them. Writing a shader with the assistant sends your prompt to an AI model provider. Automatic lyric timing sends the audio and the lyrics you paste to a speech-to-text provider. Neither is used for anything but answering that request. Model my house sends the entered address to Photon for an OpenStreetMap address lookup. Coordinates are used to look for KartaView imagery; buildings with linked photographs may also use Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons. The selected address, building outline, and public or uploaded exterior photos are sent to Anthropic to create the draft. Address selections are cached for up to 30 minutes and successful drafts, including their photos, for 10 minutes to recover retries. The saved geometry, address label, and source credits remain in your layout and its saved versions; source photos are not added to the layout. Generation attempts are counted without storing the address or photos in the usage ledger.
Where it lives
The hosted copy runs on Render in the United States. If you would rather keep everything on your own machine, self-hosting exists for exactly that.
Deleting it
Delete your sequences and files from inside the app whenever you like. To delete your whole account and everything in it, open a GitHub issue or write to the address in SECURITY.md, and it will be gone within a few days. Library entries you published are removed with it.
Changes
If this page changes in a way that matters, the change will be noted here with the date. Updated 12 September 2026 to describe house modeling and its source providers.
