Privacy Policy
Last updated October 26, 2026
Overview
MockFold is a browser-based packaging mockup editor designed to help designers turn packaging artwork and dielines into realistic 3D mockups.
We respect your privacy and aim to collect only the information reasonably necessary to operate our service, manage subscriptions, improve the user experience, and communicate with our customers.
Your creative files remain on your device. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
