Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how TextAgo ("we", "our", or "the site") handles information when you use our free online text tools service.

1. Your Notes Stay on Your Device

TextAgo does not collect, transmit, or store any content you type into the notepad. All notes are saved exclusively in your browser's localStorage — a storage mechanism local to your device and browser. No note data is sent to our servers at any time.

2. Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit TextAgo, our web server and third-party analytics services may collect standard log data, including:

This information is used solely to understand aggregate traffic patterns and improve the service. It is not linked to any personal identity.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous usage statistics. Google Analytics uses cookies to track sessions and page views. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual users. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Google AdSense

We display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies and device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.

5. Cookies

We use a single session cookie to remember your country preference so we can show you the correct language version of TextAgo on your next visit. This cookie contains only a two-letter country code (e.g., "us", "de") and no personal information. Third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) may set their own cookies subject to Google's privacy policy.

6. IP Address and Country Detection

On your first visit, we use a third-party IP geolocation API (ipapi.co) to detect your country and redirect you to the appropriate language version. We do not store your IP address on our servers beyond standard server access logs, which are routinely purged.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We do not share any data with third parties except as described in this policy (Google Analytics and Google AdSense).

8. Children's Privacy

TextAgo is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. Security

Because we do not collect or transmit your notes, there is no risk of your note content being intercepted or disclosed by us. Standard HTTPS encryption protects data in transit between your browser and our servers.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of TextAgo after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new policy.
