1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Personal information you voluntarily disclose to us

In Short: We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and Services, when you participate in activities on the Services or otherwise when you contact us.

The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the Services, the choices you make and the products and features you use. The personal information we collect may include the following:

• Contact Information: Such as your name and email address, primarily when you use our contact form.
• Message Content: Any information you choose to include in the subject line and body of your messages when you contact us.

All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

Information automatically collected

In Short: Some information — such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit our Services.

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location information (derived from IP address), information about how and when you use our Services and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.

The information we collect automatically includes:

• Log and Usage Data: Log and usage data is service-related, diagnostic, usage and performance information our servers automatically collect when you access or use our Services and which we record in log files. This log data may include your IP address, device information, browser type and settings, and information about your activity in the Services (such as date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages and files viewed, searches and other actions you take such as which features you use), device event information (such as system activity, error reports (sometimes called 'crash dumps') and hardware settings).
• Device Data: We collect device data such as information about your computer, phone, tablet or other device you use to access the Services. This may include your IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, approximate location, browser type, hardware model, Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, operating system and system configuration information.

Text Processed by Our Online Tools

In Short: We prioritize your privacy. The text you input into our online editing tools is processed for functionality and is generally NOT stored or logged by us.

The core functionality of Text-Edit.Online involves processing text that you, the user, input into our various tools (e.g., Case Converter, Word Counter). This text is processed by scripts running either directly in your browser (JavaScript-based tools, where applicable) or on our secure servers (PHP-based tools) solely to perform the requested operation and deliver the output to you.

We do not permanently store, log, share with third parties, or use for any other purpose the specific textual content you process through these tools. Once the operation is complete and the result is displayed, the input text is typically discarded from server memory (for server-side tools) or remains within your browser session (for client-side tools) until you close the page or navigate away. Your privacy regarding the content you edit is of utmost importance to us. However, please be aware that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and you use our tools at your own discretion.

2. HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We process your information for purposes based on legitimate business interests, the fulfillment of our service to you, compliance with our legal obligations, and/or your consent.

We use personal information collected via our Services for a variety of business purposes described below:

• To provide and maintain our Services: Including operating the tools and features of the Site.
• To respond to user inquiries and offer support: We may use your information to respond to your direct inquiries and solve any potential issues you might have with the use of our Services.
• To send administrative information: We may use your contact information to send you information about changes to our terms, conditions, and policies, if necessary.
• To protect our Services: We may use your information as part of our efforts to keep our Site safe and secure (for example, for fraud monitoring, spam prevention, and investigating suspicious activity).
• For internal analytics and reporting: To understand how our Services are used, identify usage trends, determine the effectiveness of our content, and to evaluate and improve our Site, tools, content, and your overall experience. This data is typically aggregated and anonymized.
• To comply with legal obligations: We may process your information where we are legally required to do so.
• To serve advertisements: We use Google AdSense to display ads on our site. This involves the use of cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites.

3. WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?

In Short: We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services (like advertising via Google AdSense), to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

We may process or share your data that we hold based on the following legal bases:

• Consent: We may process your data if you have given us specific consent to use your personal information for a specific purpose (e.g., for cookies related to personalized advertising, as managed by Google AdSense and your browser/cookie settings).
• Legitimate Interests: We may process your data when it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests (e.g., operating our site, displaying advertisements to support our free services).
• Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.
• Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

More specifically, we may need to process your data or share your personal information in the following situations:

• Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense): We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our Site. Google's use of advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
  • Alternatively, users can opt out of some third-party vendors' uses of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices or www.youronlinechoices.eu (for users in the EEA/UK).
  You can find more information on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
• Analytics Providers: We may use server logs and basic analytics for understanding site traffic and improving user experience. This data is generally aggregated and does not personally identify you. If we implement third-party analytics services like Google Analytics in the future, this policy will be updated to reflect that, including how data is collected and how users can opt-out.
• Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company. In such cases, we will make efforts to ensure the receiving party respects your personal information in a manner consistent with this policy.

4. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

In Short: Yes, we and our third-party service providers (like Google AdSense) use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and store your information, primarily for advertising purposes and essential site functionality.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. We and our third-party service providers use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to:

• Enable certain functions of the Services (e.g., PHP session cookies may be used for features like our contact form to prevent abuse, if applicable, and are typically essential for site functionality and deleted when you close your browser).
• Provide personalized and non-personalized advertising (via Google AdSense and its partners).
• Understand how our Services are used (e.g., through aggregated data from advertising cookies, and potentially analytics cookies in the future).
• Improve your user experience.

Specifically for Google AdSense:

As mentioned above, Google AdSense uses cookies to help serve the ads it displays on our Site. When users visit our Site and either see or click on an ad, a cookie may be dropped on that end user's browser. The data gathered from these cookies will be used to help AdSense publishers better serve and manage the ads on their site(s) and across the web.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of many third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices/.

For more information about how Google uses cookies in advertising, please visit Google's Advertising Cookie Policy. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, Google will serve non-personalized ads by default unless consent for personalized ads is obtained. Even non-personalized ads use cookies for purposes such as frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, and to combat fraud and abuse.

Your Choices Regarding Cookies:

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of some of our Services (e.g., ads may become less relevant, or some site features might not work as intended).

To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

5. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). For instance, information submitted via our contact form may be retained for a reasonable period (e.g., up to 12 months after the inquiry is resolved) to allow us to address your inquiry and for our internal record-keeping, but not indefinitely.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

6. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of appropriate technical and organizational security measures.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. These measures include using HTTPS/SSL encryption for data transmission, regular software updates on our servers, and limiting access to personal data to authorized personnel only where applicable. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

7. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under the age of 13 (or a higher age of consent as required by applicable law, e.g., 16 in the EEA/UK).

Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EEA/UK, or other applicable age of consent). We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under this age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction) or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than the applicable age has been collected without verifiable parental consent (where required), we will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under the applicable age, please contact us immediately at contact@text-edit.online.

8. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: Depending on your location (e.g., EEA, UK, California), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information under applicable data protection laws.

In some regions (such as the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), and California), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; (iv) if applicable, to data portability; and (v) in certain circumstances, the right to object to the processing of your personal information. To make such a request, please use the contact details provided in the "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" section below.

If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information (for example, consent for personalized advertising cookies), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note however that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

If you are a resident in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en (for EEA) or https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/ (for UK).

9. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

10. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: Yes, if you are a resident of California, you are granted specific rights regarding access to and control over your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the "Shine The Light" law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided below.

Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to:

• Request to know what personal information we have collected about them, including the categories of personal information, the sources from which it is collected, the purposes for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
• Request the deletion of their personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
• Opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" (for cross-context behavioral advertising) of their personal information. Text-Edit.Online does not "sell" personal information in the traditional sense of exchanging it for monetary consideration. However, the use of advertising cookies by third parties like Google AdSense might be considered "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CPRA. You can exercise control over such cookies as described in Section 4 ("DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?") or by visiting the opt-out links provided (e.g., Google Ads Settings, DAA, NAI).
• Not be discriminated against for exercising their CCPA/CPRA rights.
• Correct inaccurate personal information that we have about them.
• Limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information (if we were to collect any, which we currently do not anticipate for our core services).

If you are a California resident and wish to exercise these rights, please contact us. We will respond to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days, as required by law. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

11. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?

In Short: Yes, we will update this notice as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws and to reflect any changes in our practices.

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy, and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy notice, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes on our Site or by directly sending you a notification if we have your contact information and are permitted to do so. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
