Privacy policy

Last updated: 8 July 2026

Your text stays on your device

Every translator on CipherPad runs entirely in your browser. The text you type is encoded and decoded locally by JavaScript on your own device. It is never sent to us, never uploaded to a server, and never stored. When you close the tab, it is gone.

What we do and do not collect

We do not collect the content you translate. We do not require an account, and we do not ask for personal information to use any tool on the site.

Like most websites, our host may keep basic, aggregate server logs (such as page addresses and rough timing) to keep the site running and secure. These do not contain the text you type into any translator.

Cookies and storage

CipherPad itself stores one thing on your device: your light or dark theme preference, kept in your browser's local storage so the site remembers your choice. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

Advertising and analytics

CipherPad may show ads served by third-party advertising networks (for example Google) to help keep the site free. When advertising is enabled, those networks and any analytics tools used alongside them can set cookies or use similar technology to select and measure ads, understand aggregate traffic, and prevent fraud. If you are visiting from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you will be shown a consent banner and asked for your choice before any non-essential cookies are set or personalized ads are shown. You can decline and still use every translator on the site. None of this changes how the translators themselves work: the text you type is still encoded and decoded locally in your browser and is never uploaded to us.

The embeddable widget

The widget follows the same rule. Text typed into an embedded widget is processed in the visitor's browser and is not sent to us.

Contact form

The contact page sends your name, email address and message to us so we can reply. It is the only way to reach us; we do not publish an email address. That information is used only to answer your message.

Changes

If the way the site works changes in a way that affects your privacy, including turning on advertising or analytics, the date above will be updated and this page will describe it accurately.
