Short version: The text you enter into our tools is never sent to any server, stored, or seen by anyone. It stays entirely in your browser. We show adverts and use Google Analytics — both use cookies, which you can opt out of.
Who we are
ProseCraft.net is a free suite of writing analysis tools operated as an independent website. For questions about this policy, contact us at hello@prosecraft.net.
Information we do NOT collect
The text you paste or type into any of our tools (readability checker, passive voice detector, word counter, reading time calculator) is processed entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. This text is never transmitted to our servers, never stored, and never accessible to us or any third party.
Information we do collect
We collect limited data to operate the site and understand how it is used:
- Usage data via Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site — which tools are used most, how long visitors stay, and where traffic comes from. This data is aggregated and anonymous. Google Analytics uses cookies to track sessions.
- Advertising data via Google AdSense: We display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to show you relevant ads based on your browsing history and interests. This is subject to Google's own privacy policy.
- Server logs: Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) automatically records standard server log information including IP addresses and browser types. These logs are retained for a short period for security and operational purposes.
Cookies
We use the following types of cookies:
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics): Help us understand site usage. You can opt out at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Advertising cookies (Google AdSense): Used to serve personalised advertisements. You can manage your ad personalisation settings at adssettings.google.com.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Doing so may affect how some features of the site function but will not prevent you from using the tools.
Third-party links and affiliate links
Our site contains links to third-party websites (such as Grammarly and ProWritingAid). Some of these are affiliate links, marked with "Sponsored link" or similar disclosure. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you. We only link to products and services we believe are genuinely useful to our visitors.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing personal information.
Your rights under UK GDPR
If you are located in the United Kingdom or European Union, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- The right to access data we hold about you
- The right to request deletion of your data
- The right to object to processing of your data
- The right to data portability
- The right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
As we collect minimal personal data (primarily through cookies which you can control), most of these rights are best exercised through your browser and Google's privacy settings. For any other requests, contact us at hello@prosecraft.net.
Children's privacy
Our tools are commonly used in educational settings. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The tools themselves process no personal data — only the text entered, which never leaves the user's browser.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
