Privacy Policy

Overview

MegaText.org is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. The short version: the tools you use process data locally in your browser, and we do not collect, store, or transmit any input you provide to our tools.

Information We Do Not Collect

All developer tools on MegaText.org run entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. When you use any tool on this site — whether formatting JSON, generating a password, hashing text, or converting between formats — your input data is processed locally and is never transmitted to our servers or any third-party servers. We have no access to your tool inputs, outputs, or clipboard contents.

Information We Do Collect

Like virtually all websites, we collect standard web analytics data when you visit MegaText.org. This may include:

• Pages visited and time on page
• General geographic location (country/city level, derived from IP address)
• Browser type and version
• Referring website
• Operating system

This data is collected in aggregate and is used solely to understand which tools are popular and how to improve the site. It is not used to identify individual users.

Cookies

MegaText.org uses a small number of cookies and browser storage items:

• Theme preference — We store your dark/light mode preference in localStorage so it persists between visits. This data never leaves your browser.
• Analytics cookies— If Google Analytics is enabled, Google may set analytics cookies as described in Google's privacy policy.
• Advertising cookies— Google AdSense may set cookies for ad personalization. You can opt out through Google's Ad Settings.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. Google Analytics collects information about website usage. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Advertising

MegaText.org displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.

Data Retention

Because we do not collect personal data beyond aggregate analytics, we have no personal data retention policy to speak of. Analytics data is retained by Google according to their data retention settings (typically 14 months by default).

Children's Privacy

MegaText.org is a developer utility site not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of MegaText.org after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
