This is probably the shortest cookie policy you'll ever read — because there's almost nothing to say.
TidyText uses zero cookies.
No tracking. No analytics. No advertising.
There is no consent banner. There is nothing to accept or decline. We don't use cookies at all — not first-party, not third-party, not functional, not essential. Nothing.
TidyText uses your browser's localStorage — a standard browser feature — to remember your settings between sessions. This is stored entirely on your device and is never transmitted to any server.
| Key | What it stores | When deleted |
|---|---|---|
| apiKey | Your AI provider API key (stays on your device only) | When you clear it in settings or clear browser storage |
| provider | Your chosen AI provider (e.g. Gemini, OpenAI) | When you clear browser storage |
| theme | Your dark/light mode preference | When you clear browser storage |
| tone | Your preferred writing tone setting | When you clear browser storage |
localStorage is not a cookie. It doesn't expire automatically, it isn't sent with HTTP requests, and it's scoped entirely to your device and browser.
TidyText loads fonts from Google Fonts. This involves a request to Google's servers, which may log your IP address per their own privacy policy. We load these with rel="preconnect" for performance, but no tracking data is exchanged on our end.
We use no analytics (no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Mixpanel). We use no advertising networks. We use no social tracking pixels.
To remove everything TidyText has stored on your device, open your browser's developer tools (F12), go to Application → Local Storage, and delete the entries for the TidyText domain. Or use your browser's "Clear site data" option in settings.
