The short version
The text, data and files you use with our tools are processed entirely in your browser. They are never uploaded to our servers, and we cannot see them.
Data you enter into tools
Every tool on TextToolbox runs locally with JavaScript. Whatever you type, paste or drop into a tool stays on your device. Some tools offer to remember your settings or text (for example “Keep my text” in the Word Counter); that information is stored only in your browser’s local storage and can be removed by clearing your browser data.
Information stored in your browser
We use your browser’s local storage for conveniences: your light or dark theme, tools you save to “My Tools”, recently used tools, and tool settings. This information never leaves your device and is not used for tracking.
Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, which pages are visited and how the site performs. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type. It does not receive the content you enter into tools. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising
TextToolbox is funded by advertising served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Children
TextToolbox is a general-audience site and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
