Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
The short version
tapdot tools run entirely in your browser. Nothing you type, paste, or generate is ever sent to any server. No accounts. No cookies. No trackers. Your data stays on your device — always.
What we collect
Nothing from the tools themselves. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Text you paste into CiteMaker, FlashForge, GradeCalc, BiasCheck, ReadScore, WordCount Pro, LoremCraft, or ThreadCraft is never transmitted anywhere. It never leaves your device.
Anonymous visit counts only. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page visits. No cookies are set and no personal data is collected. Your visit is never tied to your identity. Cloudflare sees only that a page was loaded — not who loaded it, not what you typed, not what you did. You can read Cloudflare's privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
One exception — CiteMaker URL lookup
CiteMaker has an optional feature that fetches a webpage's title and author when you paste a URL. To read that page, the URL you paste is sent through a public proxy service (allorigins.win). This only happens when you choose the URL lookup feature — manual citation entry sends nothing anywhere. If you prefer, use the Manual tab and no network request is ever made.
What we do not collect
- No cookies — none, ever
- No IP addresses stored
- No personal information of any kind
- No cross-site tracking
- No advertising tracking
- No user accounts or sign-ups
- No text, documents, or content you enter into any tool
Local storage
Some tools (FlashForge) save your data to your browser's localStorage so your flashcards persist between sessions. Your dark-mode preference is also stored locally. This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
On-device AI (BiasCheck)
BiasCheck uses your browser's built-in on-device AI (Gemini Nano) when available. The AI model runs entirely on your own machine — the text you analyse is never uploaded. If on-device AI is unavailable, BiasCheck falls back to a simple local word-pattern analysis. Either way, nothing is sent to a server.
