Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 12, 2026. Your privacy is our priority.

At Text to Handwriting, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of information when you use our online text-to-handwriting conversion tools, signature generators, and related services.

1. Client-Side Processing (Zero Uploads)

The core architecture of Text to Handwriting is designed to be **entirely client-side**. This means:

  • No Text Uploads: Any paragraphs, letters, or assignments you type or paste into our editor are processed directly in your web browser. We never upload your text to external servers.
  • No Image Uploads: When you insert custom diagrams, drawings, or background paper images, the file reading and canvas composition happen locally using your browser's APIs (FileReader, HTML5 Canvas). No images are saved or transmitted to our servers.
  • No Signature Uploads: Handwritten signatures drawn on the canvas or typed signatures remain fully isolated within your browser's local sandbox memory.
  • Local PDF Compiler: Compiled PDFs and ZIP packages are generated locally using pdf-lib and JSZip directly inside your browser window.

2. Information We Collect

Although we do not upload or monitor your documents, we may collect minimal data to maintain page performance and support basic site operations:

  • Usage Statistics: We may use basic, privacy-friendly analytics to count page views and gather aggregate traffic details (such as browser type, operating system version, and general geography) to optimize site styling and loading speeds.
  • Local Storage: We may use your browser's local storage to save your editor configuration settings (such as default font size, margin width, line spacing, and pen color) for convenience when you return to the page.

3. Cookies and Advertising Technology

Cookies are small data files stored on your device when you visit websites. We use cookies, local storage, and related web technologies to optimize your experience:

  • Functional Local Storage: Remembers your editor configuration, selected handwriting font, page size, margin offsets, and pen color so you do not have to reconfigure them on every visit.
  • Third-Party Advertising Cookies: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites on the Internet.
  • Performance Analytics: Aggregates anonymized performance metrics to ensure fast canvas compilation speeds across mobile and desktop devices.

4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Disclosures

We monetize our free educational tools using Google AdSense. In compliance with Google Publisher Policies, please note the following required disclosures:

  • DART Cookie Usage: Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve targeted advertisements to users based on their visits to Text to Handwriting and/or other websites on the Internet.
  • Opting Out of Personalized Ads: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative Consumer Opt-Out Page.
  • Third-Party Vendors: Third-party ad networks and ad servers may also set cookies to measure ad performance and personalize content. We have no direct control over cookies set by third-party advertisers.

5. GDPR and International User Rights

For visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland:

  • Right to Consent: You have the right to accept or decline non-essential advertising cookies via our interactive Cookie Preference banner.
  • Data Minimization: Because all document processing, font rendering, and PDF exports are processed locally in your browser sandbox, no personally identifiable document content is stored on our servers.
  • Data Access & Portability: Any content created on our site remains entirely on your local machine and can be exported or deleted at your discretion by clearing your browser cache.

6. CCPA / CPRA Compliance (California Residents)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have specific rights regarding their personal data:

  • No Sale of Personal Information: We do not sell, rent, or trade user document data, handwriting signatures, or personal content.
  • Opt-Out Rights: You can opt out of third-party interest-based advertising cookies using the opt-out links listed above in Section 4.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to align with evolving web standards and ad network requirements. Changes will be published directly on this page with a revised effective date.
