Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 10, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to the ASCII ↔ Text Converter, a simple, open-source, client-side web utility. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding any information related to your use of the tool. We are deeply committed to user privacy and operate on a strict zero-data-collection model. Because the entire application runs exclusively in your browser, we never collect, store, transmit, or process any personal data or input content.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect any of the following:

  • Personal Identifiable Information (PII) — names, email addresses, IP addresses, or any identifiers
  • Usage or Analytics Data — no tracking of visits, session duration, clicks, or behavior
  • Input Content — ASCII codes or text you enter is processed only locally in your browser and never leaves your device
  • Device or Browser Information — no logging of user-agent strings, screen resolution, location, or hardware details

All conversion logic (using String.fromCharCode and charCodeAt) executes entirely client-side. There are no servers, APIs, or external endpoints involved.

3. How the Tool Operates

When you use the converter:

  • All processing happens in your browser’s JavaScript engine
  • Any text you type or paste remains in memory only for the duration of your session
  • Copy-to-clipboard functionality uses the browser’s native Clipboard API
  • The page may use temporary browser memory, but nothing is persisted after refresh or tab closure

This architecture guarantees complete data isolation — your content is never exposed to us or any third party.

4. Third-Party Services & CDNs

We use Bootstrap via public CDN for styling. CDNs do not receive or store your input data. No analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts are included. The tool is fully static and hosted on GitHub Pages.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

No cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, or any tracking technologies are used. The application is completely stateless.

6. Data Security

Since we collect nothing, there is no data to secure on our end. We recommend you:

  • Use up-to-date browsers with good security defaults
  • Avoid pasting highly sensitive content into any web tool (even client-side ones)
  • Clear your clipboard after copying results if needed

7. Children’s Privacy

The tool is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly process data from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy occasionally. Updates will appear here with a new effective date. Continued use constitutes acceptance of changes.

By using the ASCII ↔ Text Converter, you acknowledge that no personal data is ever collected. Your privacy is protected by design.
