Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 21, 2025

At Special Characters (specialcharacters.ai), we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information when using our service.

🔐 1. Information We Collect

We keep data collection to an absolute minimum. Our goal is to provide a fast, simple, and privacy-respecting tool. However, certain technical data may be collected automatically:

Non-personal information such as:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Screen resolution
- Device type
- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring URL
Cookies (if used):
- We may use cookies to remember your recently used special characters for convenience (stored locally in your browser only).
- These cookies do not track you across other sites and are never used for advertising.

We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as name, email address, phone number, or IP address for identification purposes.

🛡️ 2. How We Use Your Information

The minimal data we collect is used solely for:

Improving website performance and user experience
Debugging and optimizing features
Understanding aggregate usage patterns (e.g. popular categories)

We do not sell, rent, share, or disclose your personal data to third parties.

📂 3. Third-Party Services

To analyze usage and improve our services, we may use:

Google Analytics – to understand how users interact with the site (with anonymized IP settings)
Cloudflare or CDN providers – for website performance and security

These third parties are GDPR-compliant and only receive anonymized, non-identifiable data.

🔄 4. Data Retention

Since no personally identifiable data is stored on our servers, we do not retain user-specific information.

Your recently used characters are saved only in your local browser storage (not uploaded or stored remotely) and can be cleared at any time.

⚙️ 5. User Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

As a privacy-first platform, we respect your rights:

No tracking of personal identity
No behavioral advertising
You may disable cookies and local storage at any time via your browser settings

🌍 6. Children’s Privacy

Our service is not intended for users under 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
