Privacy Policy

OnlineTextLab (onlinetextlab.com) is the data controller for personal data collected through this website. For privacy questions, data requests, or concerns, contact hello@onlinetextlab.com.

This policy applies to all pages and tools on onlinetextlab.com.

Most OnlineTextLab tools are intended to run locally in your browser. When a tool says it processes in the browser, your pasted text or selected file is handled on your device and is not uploaded by that tool.

Browser processing means the site can provide practical utilities without storing your working text by default. You remain responsible for deciding whether a file or text is appropriate to use in an online tool.

Some file workflows may offer optional server processing for files that are too large or complex for reliable browser handling. OnlineTextLab will not silently upload those files.

Before any optional server upload, the tool will show a notice explaining that the file will be uploaded temporarily, can be deleted immediately after processing, and will be automatically deleted within 1 hour.

Server-uploaded files, when that feature is enabled, are stored in private temporary object storage under random object keys. OnlineTextLab does not create public file URLs for uploaded files.

Temporary file metadata may include a job identifier, original filename, MIME type, file size, creation time, deletion deadline, and deletion status. File contents are not stored in the metadata database.

If you contact OnlineTextLab, we may receive your name, email address, subject, message, and technical details needed to reduce abuse. We use contact information to reply and manage support or privacy requests.

Do not include passwords, private keys, confidential documents, or sensitive personal records in contact messages.

OnlineTextLab may use essential cookies or local storage for basic site behavior, such as remembering interface preferences. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Blocking all cookies may reset preferences or affect optional interface behavior.

OnlineTextLab uses Google Analytics (property G-HFT1NF6W1B) to understand how visitors use the site, including pages visited, session duration, and general traffic patterns. Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish visitors and report aggregate usage data.

Google Analytics does not receive the text you paste into tools or the files you process. To opt out of Google Analytics across all sites, use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

OnlineTextLab uses Google AdSense (publisher ID ca-pub-2848327930847473) to display advertisements. Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings at adssettings.google.com, or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at optout.networkadvertising.org. The tools you use on OnlineTextLab do not share your tool input with any advertising service.

OnlineTextLab does not sell uploaded content or pasted text. Browser-processed content is not stored by default, and temporary server files are not meant for long-term storage.

OnlineTextLab does not log pasted text or file contents as a product feature. Operational logs should avoid user content and focus on service health and abuse prevention.

Use browser-processing tools when you want local handling. For optional server-processing tools, continue only if the temporary upload model is acceptable for your file.

For deletion concerns, use the Data Deletion page or contact OnlineTextLab with enough detail to identify the request.

You have the right to request access to personal data OnlineTextLab holds about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of data we hold, and object to certain types of processing including direct marketing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact hello@onlinetextlab.com. We will respond within 30 days. For advertising preferences, visit adssettings.google.com to manage or opt out of Google personalised ads.

OnlineTextLab may update this privacy policy when practices change or new features are added. The 'Last updated' date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
