Dive into the data Font Awesome collects about you. Here we explain what we collect and when we collect it. You can also learn about how it's used -
and as importantly, how it's not used. Lastly, let's walk through how you can control and manage this data.
Font Awesome is the company home of
Font Awesome Icons, libraries of free-to-use and paid icons. As a company, Font Awesome publishes icons
on its website, fontawesome.com, as well through
content delivery networks
for use on customers' websites.
Font Awesome sets only its own privacy policy, not the privacy policies of Font Awesome customers, affiliates, or others who use Font Awesome icons.
You should ask all of those involved in administering and hosting websites that you use for their privacy policies.

of the website indefinitely, but those statistics don't include data identifiable to you personally.
Font Awesome collects data about use of its content delivery networks.
Content delivery networks are worldwide networks of computer servers that make sure everyone online can download files quickly from servers near to
them. Font Awesome uses content delivery networks to serve files for its free and Pro icons. Many websites using Font Awesome

To buy licenses and sign up for

Awesome's
payment processors
collect that data on Font Awesome's behalf, and gives Font Awesome security tokens that allow Font Awesome to create charges and subscriptions.
Font Awesome uses your payment card data only to charge for Font Awesome products and services. Font Awesome instructs its payment processors to
store your payment card data only as long as you use paid Font Awesome services.
Font Awesome respects privacy rights under
Regulation (EU) 2016/679 , the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Information that GDPR requires Font Awesome to give can be found throughout these
questions and answers.
Font Awesome does not sell or give information about you to other companies or services. However, Font Awesome does use services from other companies
to provide
fontawesome.com, content delivery networks, and to distribute and develop icons and
software. The companies behind those services may collect data about you on their own, for their own purposes. Some of these services may be used to
collect information about your online activities across different websites. All of these services are based in the United States.
Affiliates are companies or individuals who recommend Font Awesome and refer customers through links that enable us to pay them a sales commission. We
do not share any personally identifiable data about you with affiliates, even if you purchase Font Awesome through an affiliate's link. We provide
affiliates with summary reports of sales and commissions, and a detail report that shows time-stamped log entries of when sales occur.
