Table of Contents
1. Information We Don't Collect
SlugGenius is designed with privacy as a fundamental principle. We want to be explicitly clear about what we do NOT collect:
No Text Content Collection
When you use our text analysis tools (character counter, word counter, text case converter, etc.), the text you input is processed entirely in your browser. We never receive, store, or have access to the content you analyze.
No Personal Information
We don't require accounts, registration, or login. We don't collect names, email addresses, IP addresses, or any other personally identifiable information.
No Usage Data Storage
We don't store logs of which tools you use, how often you use them, or any patterns of usage. There's no database tracking your activity.
2. Local Processing Explained
All SlugGenius tools operate on a client-side processing model:
How It Works: When you visit our website and use any tool, your browser downloads the necessary HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. All text processing happens using JavaScript running locally in your browser.
Technical Implementation: Our tools use vanilla JavaScript and modern web APIs to perform text analysis. No data is transmitted to external servers for processing.
Benefits:
- Privacy: Your text never leaves your device
- Speed: Processing happens instantly without network latency
- Offline Capability: Tools work without internet connection after initial page load
- Security: No risk of data breaches on our servers
4. Third Party Services
External Resources
We use the following third-party services that may have their own privacy policies:
CDN Services
We use content delivery networks (CDNs) for fonts, icons, and CSS frameworks. These services may collect standard access logs.
Services: jsDelivr, Cloudflare
Form Processing (Contact Form Only)
Our contact form uses Web3Forms for form submission processing. Messages you send through our contact form are subject to Web3Forms' privacy policy.
Donation Processing
If you choose to support us via BuyMeACoffee, your interaction is subject to BuyMeACoffee's privacy policy.
Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy policies of each website that collects personal information.
5. Data Security
Security Measures
While we don't collect or store user data, we implement security measures to protect our website and users:
- HTTPS encryption for all communications
- Regular security updates and patches
- Secure hosting with reputable providers
- Minimal codebase with no unnecessary dependencies
Limitations
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect our website, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, especially since security also depends on your device and browser security.
Important: Since all text processing happens in your browser, the security of your text data depends largely on your own device security, browser security settings, and network security.
6. Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
COPPA Compliance: We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Our tools are designed to be safe for users of all ages, but we don't specifically target children.
Parental Control: If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. Since we don't collect personal information, this is unlikely, but we take all privacy concerns seriously.
Educational Use: Our tools are frequently used by students and in educational settings. This use is encouraged, and we maintain our no-data-collection policy for all users regardless of age.
7. Your Rights
Data Subject Rights
Under various privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.), you have certain rights regarding your personal data. Since we don't collect personal data, most of these rights don't apply, but we want to be transparent:
Right to Access
You have the right to know what data we have about you. Since we have no data about you, this request would result in a confirmation of zero data.
Right to Deletion
You have the right to request deletion of your data. Since we have no data to delete, this request is automatically satisfied.
Right to Correction
You have the right to correct inaccurate data. Since we don't collect data, there's nothing to correct.
Right to Portability
You have the right to receive your data in a portable format. We have no data to provide.
Exercising Your Rights
If you have any questions about your privacy rights or believe we might have collected data about you (which we don't), please contact us through our contact form.
