Privacy Policy

How the site tools, analytics, advertising, and hosting handle data.

Last Updated: August 27, 2026Effective: August 27, 2026
Privacy Summary

All cipher and encoding tools run locally in your browser. Text entered into a tool is not uploaded to our servers.

The site does use Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager and displays Google AdSense advertising. Those services may use cookies and process IP addresses, device information, and usage data.

The site is free and has no accounts, login, paid plans, or subscriptions.

1. Information We Handle

Tool input

The tools themselves do not collect or store the text you enter. Processing takes place on your device in your browser, and tool input is not sent to the site server or to analytics.

Analytics, advertising, and logs

Depending on consent and service operation, the site and its service providers may process:

  • IP address and general location derived from it
  • Browser, device, operating system, and language information
  • Pages viewed, referral information, interactions, and timestamps
  • Cookie identifiers and advertising or analytics data
  • Hosting and security server logs

Email

If you contact us, we receive the email address and information you choose to include in your message so we can read and respond to it.

2. How Information Is Used
  • Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website
  • Understand aggregate site usage through Google Analytics
  • Display and measure advertising through Google AdSense
  • Prevent abuse and investigate technical or security problems
  • Read and respond to email sent to us
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager container GTM-KGZZLTF9 loads Google Analytics. Google Analytics may set cookies and process IP address, device, browser, page-view, interaction, and usage information.

Google AdSense Cookies

We use Google AdSense, publisher ca-pub-6660696930590269, to display advertisements. Google may use cookies to:

  • Show relevant ads based on your interests
  • Measure ad performance and effectiveness
  • Prevent fraud and improve ad quality

You can manage optional cookie choices through the site consent controls and your browser settings. Disabling cookies may change analytics or advertising behavior.

4. Service Providers

Google provides Tag Manager, Analytics, and AdSense. Google processes data under its own privacy terms.

5. Data Choices and Rights

You may restrict cookies in your browser or use the site consent controls. Privacy rights vary by location and may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection rights for personal data a provider holds.

Because tool input stays in your browser, we do not have server-side copies of text entered into the tools to retrieve or delete.

Requests concerning data processed directly by Google or Vercel may also need to be directed to that provider.

6. Security, Retention, and International Processing

We use HTTPS and rely on the security controls of our hosting and service providers. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Google and Vercel determine retention for data they process under their services and policies. Email is retained only as needed to handle correspondence and related operational needs.

Service providers may process data in countries other than your own, subject to their applicable safeguards and terms.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when site practices or legal requirements change. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
