1. The short version

  • Text you paste into the tool is processed locally on your device and is never sent to, stored on, or logged by our servers.
  • We do not require an account, and we do not ask for personal information to use the tool.
  • Like almost every website, some limited technical data is handled by our hosting provider and any third-party services described below.

2. The text you paste

The cleaning happens in your browser using JavaScript that runs on your own computer or phone. When you paste text and choose an action, the transformation is performed on the page itself. The content never leaves your device, is never transmitted over the network to us, and is discarded as soon as you close or reload the page. We have no ability to see, save, or recover anything you paste.

3. Information we collect

We do not directly collect personal information through the tool. However, two ordinary categories of data may be handled on our behalf:

  • Server and access logs. Our hosting provider may automatically record standard request data — such as IP address, browser type, referring page, and time of access — for security and reliability. This is typical of all web hosting and is not linked to the content you paste.
  • Analytics (if enabled). We may use a privacy-respecting analytics service to understand aggregate, anonymized usage (for example, how many people visit a page). [If you use Google Analytics or similar, name it here and link its policy.]

4. Cookies

The tool itself does not require cookies to function. Cookies or similar technologies may be set by third-party services such as analytics or advertising, as described below. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.

5. Advertising

This site may display ads served by Google and other third-party vendors.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.

[This section applies once advertising is active on the site. Keep it published for your AdSense review; update the wording if your ad setup changes.]

6. Third-party services

  • Hosting. The site is served by a third-party static-hosting provider, which processes basic request data as described in section 3.
  • Web fonts. Page typography is loaded from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address when the font files are requested. If you prefer to avoid this, the fonts can be self-hosted — see the note we left for the site owner.

7. Children's privacy

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Your choices and rights

Because we do not collect personal information through the tool, there is generally nothing for us to access, correct, or delete on your behalf. You can manage cookies and advertising preferences through your browser and the opt-out links above. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA; to ask about these, contact us using the details below.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be reflected here, so it is worth checking back periodically.
