Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the Textavia website, tools, and Textavia browser extensions (the Service). It does not cover third-party websites you may visit via links from Textavia.

Textavia includes both in-browser tools and server-side tools. Each tool page displays a short processing note (for example: Processing: in-browser).

• In-browser tools: your text/data is processed locally in your browser. The tool does not send your input to our servers.
• Server-side tools: you upload a file to our server so we can process it (for example, image conversion and resizing). The converted output is returned to you.

If you prefer not to upload files, use tools that say Processing: in-browser.

Important: avoid uploading sensitive files to server-side tools. If you need an offline workflow, use local software instead.

When you use a server-side tool, the Service receives your uploaded file and processes it to produce the requested output. Textavia is designed to process these requests without intentionally storing your file after the conversion completes.

Like most websites, our hosting provider and infrastructure may generate operational logs (for example, request metadata) for reliability and security purposes.

We use analytics and diagnostics to understand usage at a high level (for example: which tools are used most and how the site performs) and to improve reliability. We currently use Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity (session replay and heatmaps), Umami, and Vercel Analytics.

• These tools may collect usage data such as page views, interactions, session replay or heatmap signals, device and browser information, and approximate location derived from IP address.
• Depending on configuration, analytics tools may use cookies or similar technologies. You can reduce collection by using browser privacy controls, blocking scripts, or using an ad-blocker.
• We may use aggregated analytics to make product decisions (for example: which tools to improve).

If you have questions about data handling, see the Contact section below.

Textavia uses Grow by Mediavine, an audience engagement tool that provides features like content bookmarking and email subscriptions.

• Grow may set first-party cookies and use local storage to remember your preferences and measure content engagement.
• If you choose to create a Grow account or subscribe through a Grow feature, the email address you provide is processed by Mediavine to deliver that feature.
• Mediavine acts as the provider of this service; see the Mediavine privacy policy for details on its data practices.

Some tool pages let you mark the page as helpful or not helpful. If you vote, we store a small feedback record so we can show aggregated “people found this helpful” counts.

• We store the tool identifier (the tool URL slug) and whether your vote was helpful or not helpful.
• We set an anonymous session cookie to avoid counting repeated votes from the same browser as multiple people.
• We do not store your tool input along with your vote.

You can clear cookies in your browser settings to reset the session identifier.

Textavia may store small pieces of information in your browser (local storage or session storage) to improve UX.

• Theme preference (light/dark)
• Optional tool preferences

You can clear local storage via your browser settings. Clearing it may reset preferences.

Text Replacer: Find & Replace Anywhere is a Chrome extension that finds and replaces text across the active web page. The extension processes page text, form values, search terms, replacement text, and match results locally in Chrome to provide this feature.

• Textavia does not receive your page text, search terms, replacement text, form values, URLs, saved searches, history, templates, or extension preferences.
• Saved searches, history, templates, and preferences are stored in Chrome local extension storage on your device.
• The extension uses active tab access after you open it on a page. Optional site access is requested only when you grant it for a specific site.
• The extension does not use extension data for advertising, does not sell or share extension data, and does not allow humans at Textavia to read extension data.

The use of information received from Chrome extension permissions adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

The Service uses cookies and similar technologies in the following categories:

• Strictly necessary: the anonymous session cookie used to de-duplicate helpful votes.
• Preferences: theme and tool settings stored in local storage, and Grow engagement preferences.
• Analytics: cookies or identifiers set by the analytics tools listed above, depending on configuration.
• Advertising: cookies and similar technologies used by Mediavine and its partners to serve, target, and measure advertisements, subject to consent where required.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect features such as vote de-duplication or saved preferences.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with similar data protection laws, we process personal data on these legal bases:

• Legitimate interests: operating, securing, and improving the Service (for example, aggregated analytics and operational logs).
• Consent: where required, such as for personalized advertising or non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Restrict or object to processing
• Receive a portable copy of data you provided
• Lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in the Contact section. Data may be processed on servers in the United States and other countries; where required, transfers rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA) gives you the right to:

• Know what categories of personal information we collect and why
• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
• Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights

We do not sell personal information for money. Mediavine and its partners may process personal information for interest-based advertising in ways that may be considered “selling” or “sharing” under the CCPA. Where applicable, use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link available on the Service to opt out.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in the Contact section. We will verify requests and respond within the timeframes required by law.

• Files uploaded to server-side tools are processed for the conversion and are not intentionally stored after it completes.
• Operational logs generated by our hosting infrastructure are retained for short periods for reliability and security.
• Analytics data is retained according to each provider’s configured retention period.
• Helpful-vote records are retained as aggregated counts tied to a tool, not to you.

We take reasonable measures to protect the Service. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The Service is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the Last updated date at the top of this page.
