Privacy Policy
At TXT File (“TXT File,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be handled when you visit and use txtfile.site (the “Website”) and its online text-file tools.
By using the Website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Enter Into Our Tools
When you type, paste, edit, or open text using our tools, that content is processed by your browser for the purpose of providing the requested functionality.
For the core client-side TXT tools, your text is processed locally in your browser. We do not intentionally collect, upload, or store the text you enter on our servers as part of the normal file-generation process.
Your files are generated by your device and downloaded directly to your device.
1.2 Files You Open
If you use a feature that allows you to open or drag an existing TXT file into the editor, the file is processed by your browser to provide the requested editing or viewing functionality.
We do not intentionally upload the contents of that file to our servers as part of the normal client-side workflow.
1.3 Locally Stored Information
Some features may use your browser’s local storage or similar browser-based storage technologies to remember information such as drafts or tool preferences.
For example, automatic local drafts may allow text to remain available in your browser after you close and return to the page.
This information is stored on your device or within your browser environment rather than being intentionally transmitted to our servers for storage.
You can generally clear locally stored website data through your browser settings.
1.4 Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, our Website may be hosted on infrastructure or use third-party services that automatically process limited technical information when you visit.
Depending on the services enabled on the Website, this may include information such as:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type
- Operating system
- Referring or exit pages
- Approximate geographic information
- Date and time of access
- Pages or resources requested
- Basic diagnostic and security information
This information may be processed by our hosting provider, security services, analytics providers, advertising partners, or other technical service providers where applicable.
2. How We Use Information
Information that is legitimately available to us may be used to:
- Operate and maintain the Website
- Provide and improve our tools
- Monitor website performance
- Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, or security issues
- Diagnose technical problems
- Understand general website usage
- Maintain website security
- Display advertising where applicable
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not use the text you enter into the core TXT file generator to create a personal profile about you.
3. Your Text and File Contents
Your text is intended to remain on your device during the normal client-side operation of our core tools.
When you create a TXT file, your browser assembles the file locally and provides it to your device for download.
We do not intentionally transmit the contents of your text to our servers for the purpose of generating the file.
However, no website or internet service can guarantee absolute security or privacy under every circumstance. Your browser, device, operating system, extensions, networks, or other third-party software may independently collect or process information.
You should therefore avoid entering highly sensitive information into any online service unless you understand and accept the associated risks.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
TXT File may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies.
These technologies may be used for purposes such as:
- Website functionality
- Remembering preferences
- Security
- Analytics
- Understanding website traffic
- Advertising and measurement
Some cookies may be placed by third-party service providers, such as analytics or advertising providers.
For more information about cookies and how they may be used on the Website, please see our Cookie Policy.
5. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services to operate, secure, analyze, advertise, or improve the Website.
These services may process certain technical information according to their own privacy policies.
Examples may include:
- Website hosting providers
- Content delivery or security services
- Analytics services
- Advertising networks
- Consent-management services
- Other technology providers necessary to operate the Website
Third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies where permitted.
We do not control the privacy practices of third-party services. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies if you have questions about how they process information.
6. Advertising
TXT File may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising networks.
Advertising providers may use cookies, identifiers, or similar technologies to provide, measure, personalize, or limit advertisements, depending on applicable settings and consent requirements.
The advertisements displayed on the Website are provided by third parties, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of individual advertisers.
If advertising is enabled on the Website, additional information about advertising cookies and technologies may be described in our Cookie Policy.
7. Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the Website.
Analytics information may include general information about visits, pages viewed, devices, browsers, geographic regions, and website interactions.
Analytics providers may process this information according to their own privacy policies.
Where required by applicable law, appropriate consent mechanisms may be used before placing non-essential analytics cookies.
8. Data Sharing
We do not sell or intentionally disclose the text you enter into our client-side TXT tools.
We may share or permit access to limited information with service providers that help us operate the Website, such as hosting, security, analytics, advertising, and technical providers.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:
- Comply with applicable law or legal process
- Protect our rights or property
- Investigate suspected abuse or security incidents
- Prevent fraud or other unlawful activity
- Protect the safety of users or the public
- Facilitate a business transfer, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
9. Data Retention
Because the core TXT file creation process operates locally in your browser, the text you enter for that functionality is not intentionally stored on our servers.
Information collected automatically through hosting, analytics, advertising, security, or other third-party services may be retained according to the applicable service provider’s policies and our legitimate operational requirements.
Information stored locally by your browser may remain there until you clear the relevant website data, depending on your browser and device settings.
10. Children’s Privacy
TXT File is a general-purpose website and is not specifically directed toward children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable privacy laws.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us and you would like us to review the situation, please contact us.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have certain privacy rights under applicable law.
These may include rights to:
- Request access to personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of certain information
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Request information about how your data is processed
- Exercise certain rights regarding cookies or targeted advertising
The availability of these rights depends on applicable law and the circumstances of the processing.
Because our core TXT creation functionality is designed to operate locally, we generally do not possess the text you enter into the editor.
To make a privacy-related request, contact us using the information provided on our Contact page.
12. International Visitors
TXT File may be accessed by users around the world.
Depending on the hosting, analytics, advertising, security, or other services used by the Website, information may be processed in countries other than the country where you live.
Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards will be used for applicable international data transfers.
13. Security
We take reasonable measures intended to protect information that we control.
Our client-side architecture is also designed to reduce the need to transmit the contents of your text to a server during normal TXT file creation.
However, no method of transmission, storage, or electronic processing can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own device, browser, accounts, and network connection.
14. External Links
The Website may contain links to third-party websites or services.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of external websites.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Website, our services, technology, applicable laws, or our privacy practices.
When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this page.
You should periodically review this page for the latest information.
