We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Website. Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other websites to provide you with relevant advertisements.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our Website and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

5. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Client-Side Processing

All content processing (such as Markdown rendering, word counting, and other conversions) happens entirely within your browser. The data you input into our tools is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

This client-side processing approach means:

• Your content remains private and is never sent to our servers;
• You can use our tools even when offline (once the page has loaded);
• Processing speed depends on your device's capabilities rather than server response times.

Our Services are not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take necessary actions.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
