2. Data we collect

2.1 Data you provide

All text formatting happens entirely in your browser. Text you type or paste into our tools is never transmitted to our servers. We do not store, log, or process any text you enter.

If you use the contact form, we collect your email address and message content solely to respond to your enquiry. This data is not used for marketing and is deleted once your enquiry is resolved.

When you visit our site, our hosting provider may collect standard web server logs, including:

  • IP address (anonymised)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and timestamps
  • Referring URL

This data is retained for up to 30 days for security and performance monitoring purposes and is then deleted automatically.

We use privacy-first analytics to understand which pages are most useful. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised — we cannot identify individual visitors. No personally identifiable information is collected. Analytics cookies, if any, are described in our cookie policy.
