Privacy Policy - notrAIce

🔒 Simple Summary: We collect NOTHING. Your data never leaves your device.

1. Introduction

notrAIce ("we," "our," or "the Software") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data we do and do not collect when you use our privacy tool.

Our core principle: Your privacy is paramount. The Software is designed to run entirely on your device with zero data transmission to external servers.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

The notrAIce application itself collects ZERO data. Specifically, we do NOT collect:

✗ Your text content (original or anonymized)
✗ Your word mappings or replacement settings
✗ Your profile names or configurations
✗ Usage statistics or analytics from the app
✗ Your IP address or location
✗ Your device information
✗ Cookies or tracking data from the app
✗ Personal information of any kind

3. How the Software Works (Privacy Architecture)

100% Local Processing:

The Software runs entirely in your web browser
All text processing happens on YOUR device only
No internet connection is required for the app to function
The Software makes ZERO network requests to any server
Your data never leaves your device through the Software

Local Storage Only:

Your settings are stored in your browser's local storage
This storage is on YOUR device, not on our servers
We cannot access, view, or retrieve this data
Clearing your browser data will delete these settings

4. Website vs. Application

It's important to distinguish between the notrAIce website and the notrAIce application:

Component	Data Collection
notrAIce Application (the HTML file you download)	✅ Collects ZERO data ✅ No tracking ✅ No analytics ✅ Completely private
notrAIce Website (notraice.com)	⚠️ May use basic analytics to count visitors (Google Analytics or similar) See section 5 below

5. Website Analytics (notraice.com Only)

Our website (NOT the application) may use analytics services to understand:

Number of visitors
Which pages are viewed
Download statistics
General geographic location (country/city level)
Browser and device type

Analytics Tools We May Use:

Google Analytics (with anonymized IP addresses)
Plausible Analytics (privacy-friendly alternative)
Simple server logs

Important: These analytics apply ONLY to website visits, NOT to your use of the downloaded application.

6. Third-Party Services

Download Hosting: If we host the download file on third-party services (GitHub, DropBox, etc.), those services may collect basic information about downloads according to their own privacy policies.

Ko-fi Donations: If you choose to support us via Ko-fi, their privacy policy applies to that transaction. We only receive:

Your chosen display name (if provided)
Donation amount
Optional message

Email Support: If you email us for support, we will have access to:

Your email address
The content of your message
Any information you choose to share

We will never sell, share, or use this information for marketing purposes.

7. AI Platform Privacy

Important Notice: When you use the anonymized text with third-party AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.), those platforms have their own privacy policies and data handling practices.

notrAIce is designed to protect your privacy BEFORE data reaches these platforms, but:

We have no control over how AI platforms handle your data
We are not affiliated with any AI platform
You should review their privacy policies separately
The anonymization quality depends on your mappings

8. Data Storage and Security

Browser Local Storage:

Your settings are stored using browser local storage
This is a standard web browser feature
Data stays on your device permanently (until you clear browser data)
Other websites cannot access notrAIce's local storage
We recommend NOT using private/incognito mode if you want to save settings

No Cloud Backup:

We do not provide cloud backup of your settings
This is intentional for privacy protection
You are responsible for backing up important configurations

9. Children's Privacy

notrAIce does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. The Software is designed for general use and does not collect personal information from anyone, regardless of age.

10. Your Rights and Choices

Regarding the Application:

✅ You have complete control - all data is on your device
✅ Delete settings anytime by clearing browser data
✅ Stop using the Software anytime by deleting the file
✅ No account to delete - nothing is stored on our end

Regarding Website Analytics:

Use browser extensions to block analytics (uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger)
Enable "Do Not Track" in your browser settings
Use private/incognito mode when visiting the website

11. International Users

Since the Software runs entirely on your device, there are no international data transfers. Your data stays in your country, on your device.

12. GDPR Compliance

For users in the European Union:

✅ We collect no personal data through the Software
✅ No data processing agreements needed
✅ No data subject access requests necessary (we have no data)
✅ Right to erasure: simply delete the Software

Website analytics may be subject to GDPR. We use anonymized data collection where possible.

13. CCPA Compliance

For users in California:

We do not sell personal information
We do not collect personal information through the Software
Website analytics data is anonymized and not sold

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Software after changes constitutes acceptance.

Since the Software collects no data, policy changes typically only affect website analytics practices.

15. Open Source Transparency

The notrAIce application is open-source. You can:

Inspect the code yourself (it's in the HTML file)
Verify that no data is being transmitted
Review exactly how local storage is used
Confirm there are no hidden tracking mechanisms

Bottom Line:

🔒 Your data stays on your device. Always.
