Privacy policy
No accounts and no sign-up, and the text you repeat never leaves your browser. This page explains what the website itself receives and how Google Analytics and Google AdSense use cookies on this site.

Who we are
Text Repeater ("we", "us") runs the website at text-repeater.dev. We are responsible for the personal data described on this page. You can reach us at support@text-repeater.dev.
Your text stays in your browser
Every tool on this site, including the text repeater, the text editor, the online notepad, the text to PDF converter, the text reverser, the case converter, the invisible character tools, and the fancy text generator, runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript. The text you type, paste, or open, and anything the tools make from it, including PDF files, are never sent to us or to any other server.
The text repeater, the text to PDF converter, the text reverser, the case converter, the invisible character tools, and the fancy text generator don't store your text anywhere, not even in your browser, so it's gone when you close or reload the page. The text editor can keep a draft, and the online notepad keeps your notes, on your device, as described below.
- Paste reads your clipboard only when you press it, and your browser may ask for permission first. What it reads goes into the text box, like anything you type.
- Copy writes the result to your clipboard only when you press it.
- Download .txt creates the file,
repeated-text.txt, on your device. Nothing is uploaded to make it.
Because your text never reaches us, we can't see it, keep it, or recover it for you.
Text editor drafts
While Keep a draft in this browser is turned on in the text editor, the text and the file name are saved in your browser's localStorage as you type, so they're still there when you come back. The draft stays on your device and is never sent to us. The editor also remembers its view settings, such as word wrap and text size, in the same way.
- Turning the option off deletes the draft immediately.
- Clearing this site's data in your browser settings deletes the draft and the settings.
- Anyone who uses the same browser profile can see the draft, so turn the option off on shared computers.
Files you open in the editor are read by your browser on your device, and downloads are created there too. Nothing is uploaded to open or save a file.
Online notepad
The online notepad saves your notes in your browser's localStorage as you type, together with which note you had open, so they're still there when you come back. Notes stay on your device and are never sent to us.
- Deleting a note removes it from this browser straight away.
- Clearing this site's data in your browser settings deletes every note. Private or incognito windows delete them when they close.
- Back up all and Download create files on your device; Import reads files on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
- Anyone who uses the same browser profile can read your notes, so delete them on shared computers.
Text to PDF
The text to PDF converter builds the PDF in your browser. To do that, your browser downloads font files and the code that writes PDFs from this site. Those requests contain no part of your text. Files you open are read on your device, and Print / Save as PDF uses your browser's own print dialog.
The converter remembers your page settings, such as page size, margins, and font, in your browser's localStorage so they're ready next time. It doesn't save your text, title, or file name.
What reaches our hosting provider
Text Repeater is a static website hosted on Cloudflare. As with any website, when your browser loads a page, Cloudflare receives normal request details such as your IP address, browser type, the time, and the page requested. These are needed to deliver the page, and they never include the text you type into the tool.
We never ask for your name, email address, or an account, because none of it is needed.
What we keep
Your text: not stored by us. It never leaves your browser, and we keep no history of what you've repeated or written. The only copies kept anywhere are the optional text editor draft and your notepad notes, both on your own device.
Operational logs: short-lived. Our hosting provider may keep brief technical logs (for example, errors and request metadata) to keep the service running and to stop abuse.
Your settings: on your device only. Light or dark mode, the text editor's view settings, and the text to PDF page settings are saved in your browser's localStorage and never sent to us.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a service from Google, to understand how the site is used: which pages are visited, how people arrive, which features they use, and roughly where and on what kind of device. It helps us fix problems and decide what to improve.
- Google Analytics uses cookies such as
_gaand_ga_<ID>to tell visits apart. They expire after up to two years. - Google receives your IP address to estimate your general location. Google says Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses.
- Google Analytics records the address of each page you view, but never the text you type into the tools, because they never put that text in a page address.
- We keep Google Analytics data for no more than 14 months and don't use it to identify you.
Google explains how it handles this data in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. You can block Google Analytics on every site with Google's opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising
Text Repeater is free because it shows ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see them, measure their performance, and prevent fraud.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or to other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- Other ad technology providers and ad networks may also serve ads here and use their own cookies. Where a consent message is shown, it lists them.
You can opt out of personalized advertising:
- for Google, in Google's Ads Settings;
- for many other vendors, at www.aboutads.info, or at www.youronlinechoices.eu if you're in Europe.
If you opt out, you'll still see ads, but they won't be based on your interests. Google describes its advertising cookies in How Google uses cookies in advertising.
Your cookie choices
In the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland, we ask for your consent before analytics or advertising cookies are used. The consent message is provided by Google, a certified consent management platform. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time with the Privacy and cookie settings link at the bottom of the page. If you decline, you may still see non-personalized ads, which can use cookies only where the law allows it, for example to limit how often an ad is shown or to prevent fraud.
In US states with privacy laws, showing ads based on your activity on other sites can count as "selling" or "sharing" personal information. You can opt out with the Do not sell or share my personal information link shown to visitors in those states, or by turning off personalized ads in Google's Ads Settings.
Everywhere, you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The text repeater keeps working without them.
Who else is involved
Cloudflare hosts this website and processes requests on our behalf as an infrastructure provider. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Google provides Google Analytics and Google AdSense, described above. See Google's privacy policy.
Our fonts are served from this site, not from a third party.
Legal bases
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on:
- legitimate interests to run the website, keep it secure, and reply to your emails;
- your consent for analytics and advertising cookies and for personalized ads, where consent is required. You can withdraw it at any time.
International transfers
Cloudflare and Google may process data in countries other than yours, including the United States. They rely on recognized safeguards for these transfers, such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.
If you contact us by email, your address, your message, and anything you include, such as sample text for a problem report, are handled by your email provider and ours. We keep that correspondence only as long as needed to reply, look into a report, or meet legal obligations. Please don't send passwords or unnecessary sensitive details.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you, or get a copy of it;
- have it corrected or deleted;
- object to or restrict how we use it;
- withdraw consent you have given;
- opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising;
- complain to your local data protection authority.
We have no accounts or profiles and never receive the text you repeat, so we usually hold very little about you. Cookie data is held by Google; the tools above let you control it directly. For anything else, email support@text-repeater.dev. We'll respond within the time required by law, and we won't treat you differently for using your rights.
Children
Text Repeater is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.
Changes
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, the date at the top of the page will change too.
