Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
Your Privacy Matters
At CleanUpTxt, we take your privacy seriously. Unlike many online tools, we process everything locally in your browser. This means your text never leaves your device, and we never see, store, or transmit any of your data to our servers.
How It Works
All text cleaning operations happen entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. When you paste or type text into CleanUpTxt:
- The text stays in your browser's memory
- No data is uploaded to any server
- All processing is done on your device
- Once you close the tab, everything is gone
Local Storage
We use your browser's local storage to save your last input and preferences. This allows you to return to the page without losing your work. This data:
- Never leaves your device
- Is only accessible by you
- Can be cleared by clearing your browser data
- Is not transmitted to any server
Analytics
CleanUpTxt uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first analytics service that helps us understand which tools are most useful to our users. This service is:
- Cookie-free: No cookies are set on your device
- No personal data: We don't collect IP addresses or track individual users
- GDPR & CCPA compliant: No consent banner required
- Aggregate only: We only see page views, referrers, and device types
Important: Your text content is never tracked or analyzed. Analytics only measure which pages you visit, not what you type.
Local Storage Only
We only use browser local storage for essential functionality:
- Preferences: Dark mode setting, tool options
- Session data: Your text input (stored locally, not transmitted)
This data never leaves your device and can be cleared by clearing your browser's local storage.
Advertising
To keep CleanUpTxt free, we display advertisements from third-party networks (such as Google AdSense). These ad networks may use cookies to show you relevant ads based on your browsing history across websites.
🔒 Your Text Stays Private
Important: Ad networks do NOT have access to the text you process. All text manipulation happens locally in your browser and is never sent to our servers or ad networks.
When we implement advertising in the future, you'll be able to control your preferences through:
- Your browser's "Do Not Track" setting
- Ad network opt-out tools
- Ad blocker extensions (we understand!)
Third-Party Services
CleanUpTxt uses:
- Advertisement networks for displaying ads (if applicable)
- Font providers (Google Fonts) for typography
These services operate under their own privacy policies and do not have access to your text content.
Data Security
Because all processing happens locally in your browser, your data is as secure as your device. We recommend:
- Using a secure, updated web browser
- Keeping your device secure
- Clearing your browser data if using a shared computer
Your Rights
Since we don't collect or store your personal data, there's nothing for us to delete, modify, or export. You're in complete control of your data because it never leaves your browser.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
