Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 16, 2026.

DataMasker is designed as a privacy-first, client-side application. Your source text is processed locally in your browser and is not transmitted to our backend. We only collect limited analytics and usage information to understand product performance and improve the experience.

1. Information We Process

• Input data: Text entered into the masking tool is processed locally in the browser and is not sent to our servers.
• Analytics data: If you consent to statistics cookies, we collect aggregated usage data such as visited pages, interactions, browser type, device type, and approximate location.
• Technical metadata:Standard request metadata may be processed by infrastructure providers for security and service delivery.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use a consent banner that lets you choose cookie categories:

• Essential cookies:Required for core functionality and consent storage. These cannot be disabled in the banner.
• Statistics cookies:Used only after consent to enable analytics (for example, Google Analytics).
• Marketing cookies:Reserved for optional marketing features, and only active if enabled by you.

3. Legal Basis

Where applicable under GDPR or similar laws, we rely on:

• Consent for non-essential cookies and analytics processing.
• Legitimate interests for security, abuse prevention, and service reliability.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited analytics or technical data with trusted service providers strictly for hosting, analytics, and security operations under appropriate safeguards.

5. Data Retention

Since input text is processed locally, we do not store your masking input on our backend. Analytics providers may retain aggregated or pseudonymous usage data according to their retention settings.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to withdraw cookie consent at any time.

7. Children's Privacy

This service is not directed to children under 13 (or a higher age threshold where required by local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above.
