2. Data We Collect
2.1 Text You Type in the Tool
We do not collect, store, or transmit any text you enter into the composer, emoji inspector, hashtag analyzer, or any other input field on this site. All character counting, grapheme segmentation, facet parsing, and thread splitting is performed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. Your drafts never leave your device.
2.2 Server Access Logs
When you visit this website, our hosting provider automatically records standard server access logs. These may include:
- Your IP address (anonymized after 24 hours)
- The page URL you requested
- Timestamp of the request
- Browser User-Agent string
- HTTP referrer URL (the page you came from)
This data is used solely for security monitoring and is not linked to personal identities. It is automatically deleted within 30 days.
2.3 No Analytics Platform
We do not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Hotjar, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party analytics or advertising SDK. We do not create advertising profiles or sell data to any third party.
3. Cookies
This website sets no cookies โ not even session cookies. There are no preference cookies, tracking cookies, or advertising cookies. Because we set no cookies, no cookie consent banner is required under the EU ePrivacy Directive for functional cookies.
Your browser's localStorage and sessionStorage are not used by this site.
