Privacy
Jabbertoon is made so that children, and everyone else, can use it without giving us anything. This notice says exactly what happens to data when you use the site. It is in effect from 2 October 2026.
The short version
No account and no sign-up. Nobody is asked for a name, an email address, an age or a password.
No cookies, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking scripts.
Nothing you make is uploaded. Your characters, moves, lines and recordings stay in the browser on your device.
There is no gallery, no chat and no comments: nothing anyone makes is shown to anyone else by us.
What stays on your device
Microphone recordings and the lines you type stay on your device. The free voices are made inside your browser.
Your work in progress is saved in the browser's own storage on your device, so it is there when you come back, and only there. We cannot see it, and it is never sent to us.
To remove what this site saved in your browser, your characters, moves and drafts, open Clear my things from this browser in the studio. It asks first, then deletes them.
You can also clear the site's data in your browser's settings. If you save a cartoon to a file, the file is yours, on your device.
Share links
A share link carries your move or character after the # sign. Browsers never send that part of a link to a server, so nothing is stored by us when you share.
A share link is a copy of your work written into the link itself. Anyone you send it to can open it, so share links the way you would share the work itself.
Server logs
Like every web server, ours writes a line to its log for each request. The line holds the IP address the request came from, the time, the request itself (the address asked for, with anything after a ? in it, but never the part after a #), the answer's status and size in bytes, the referring page (the page whose link led there, when the browser sends it), and the browser's name (its user agent). We use the logs to keep the site safe, and once a day a script counts from them which search-engine and AI crawlers came and how many visits arrived by a link from an AI assistant's site, such as chatgpt.com or perplexity.ai. Its report keeps totals, never an IP address or anything about one person's visit. A log line is kept for at most about two months, then deleted.
The logs stay on our server and are not shared with anyone else. There are no names, accounts or messages in them, only the technical details every web request carries.
Other hosts the pages contact
The studio and the block editor load some free, open code from cdn.jsdelivr.net, and the voices load a voice model from huggingface.co, which sends its large files from Hugging Face's download servers under hf.co. The other pages load nothing from anywhere but jabbertoon.com.
| Host | Why |
|---|---|
cdn.jsdelivr.net | A free public library of open-source code. The studio and the block editor load the blocks (Blockly), the voice engine (kokoro-js), the face and avatar maker (DiceBear) and the emoji pictures (Microsoft Fluent Emoji) from it. No content page loads anything from it. |
huggingface.co | Where the free voice model (Kokoro-82M, about 92 MB) is published. The studio downloads it from there the first time you make voices. |
hf.co and every name under it | Hugging Face's download servers. When the studio asks huggingface.co for the voice model's large files (the model and the voices), huggingface.co sends the browser on to a server under hf.co (on 2 October 2026 from the US, us.aws.cdn.hf.co; the first part of the name can change with where you are). A web filter should allow hf.co and every name under it. |

These outside hosts receive the ordinary details of a web request (an IP address and the browser's user agent) when your browser fetches something from them, as with any website. We do not send them anything about you or your work.
The tools for AI assistants
The tools for AI assistants, at jabbertoon.com/mcp and jabbertoon.com/api, read what they are sent, answer and forget it, all but report_problem. Their log keeps only which tool was used, by which door, whether it worked and how long it took.
One tool, report_problem, is how an AI assistant tells us something is wrong, and it keeps what it is sent: the kind of problem, what it is about, a short note and the tool call that went wrong, which can hold a program (up to 4,000 characters), are saved on our server for the people who run Jabbertoon to read. Any email address in it is removed first. A report is kept until we delete it.
Children
Jabbertoon is made for children to use. It never asks anyone, child or adult, for a name, an email address, an age, a photo or a password. It has no accounts, chat, comments or gallery, and what a child makes stays on their device, so there is nothing for a parent or a school to set up before a child uses it.
The one thing our server does receive from every visitor, as every web server does, is the log line described under "Server logs" above, with every detail listed there, the IP address, the page asked for and the page that linked to it among them. The US children's privacy rule (COPPA) counts an IP address as personal information. We use these lines only to keep the site working and secure and to count, in totals, the search engines and AI crawlers that visit and the visits that arrive from AI assistants' sites, which is the support of a site's own operations that the rule allows without a parent's consent. We never use them to identify, contact, profile, track or advertise to anyone, and each line is deleted after about two months.
If you are a parent or a school and want to know about, or ask us to delete, the log lines from a child's visits, or you believe we hold any other information about your child, write to us at the address below and we will look at once.
