Who we are
Shiftext ("we", "our", "the site") is a free collection of online text transformation tools available at shiftext.com. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us via our contact page.
What data we collect
Text you enter into the tools: None. All of our tools operate entirely in your browser using JavaScript. When you paste text into a tool, it is processed locally on your device and the output is displayed in your browser. No text is transmitted to any server, logged, stored, or seen by us at any point.
Personal information: We do not ask for, collect, or store any personal information (name, email address, IP address, etc.) unless you voluntarily submit the contact form. If you use the contact form, the information you provide (your name, email address, and message) is used solely to respond to your enquiry.
Cookies and local storage
localStorage (our own): Shiftext uses your browser's localStorage to save your preferences — for example, remembering which tool you last used so the nav can highlight it on your next visit, or saving any per-tool settings you've changed. This data stays entirely on your device and is never transmitted anywhere. You can clear it at any time via your browser settings (usually under "Site Data" or "Cookies and Storage").
Advertising cookies (Google AdSense): When Shiftext carries advertising, it will be served via Google AdSense. If AdSense is active, Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your interests and prior visits to sites that use Google's advertising services. Those cookies are set by Google, not by Shiftext. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or by using the NAI opt-out tool.
We do not use any other advertising networks, analytics platforms, or tracking scripts.
Third-party services
When Shiftext carries advertising, the only advertising service used will be Google AdSense. If AdSense is active, Google's use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to Shiftext and/or other websites. Google's Privacy Policy applies to their services.
Shiftext is hosted on a static content delivery platform. Your browser connects to our CDN host's servers to download the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files that make the site work — this connection may involve your IP address being logged by the hosting provider in standard server access logs, as is normal for any website. We do not access or process these logs for user tracking purposes.
Children's privacy
Shiftext's tools are general-purpose text utilities suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If the site carries advertising, parental guidance is advised for younger users. If you believe a child has submitted personal information via our contact form, please contact us so we can delete it.
Your rights
Because we store no personal data about visitors (beyond what the contact form collects if you use it), there is typically nothing to access, correct, or delete. If you have submitted a contact enquiry and wish to have that data removed, please email us and we will delete it.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right under GDPR to access, rectify, or erase personal data we hold about you. As noted above, we hold minimal data, but you may contact us at any time to exercise these rights.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of Shiftext after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how we handle data, please contact us.
