Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 15, 2026

At BetterUtils, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website and online tools.

Information We Collect

Text Input

The text you enter into our generator is processed entirely in your browser. We do not store, save, or transmit your text input to our servers. Your text remains private and is only used locally to generate the glitch effects you request.

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, we automatically collect certain information when you visit our site:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring website
  • Pages visited and time spent on our site
  • Date and time of your visit
  • IP address (anonymized)

How We Use Information

We use the automatically collected information to:

  • Improve our website's functionality and user experience
  • Analyze site traffic and usage patterns
  • Detect and prevent technical issues
  • Ensure security and prevent abuse

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for:

  • Essential site functionality
  • Remembering your preferences
  • Analytics to understand how visitors use our site

When you first visit, a banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies (analytics and ad personalization). Essential cookies required for the site to function are not affected by this choice. Rejecting sends Google a signal to serve ads and analytics without personalization or ad-related storage. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect site functionality.

Third-Party Services

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the Internet. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. To learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland are shown a consent message from Google, which lets you choose whether ads may use cookies and personal data.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Ahrefs Analytics to help us understand how our website is being used. These services may collect information about your visit, including pages viewed, time spent, and how you arrived at our site. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google Analytics storage stays off until you accept cookies.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Since we process your text input entirely in your browser and don't store it, the security of your text content is primarily in your control.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • The right to access your personal information
  • The right to correct inaccurate information
  • The right to delete your information
  • The right to object to processing
  • The right to data portability

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.

Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us through our contact page.

We review privacy inquiries regularly and update this page when our practices change. If you believe we have collected information in error, contact us with enough detail to locate the request in our systems. We respond to legitimate access and deletion requests when applicable law requires it.

Privacy FAQ

Does BetterUtils sell personal information?

No. We do not sell your personal information. Analytics help us understand general site usage so we can improve tools and fix errors.

Are tool inputs uploaded to BetterUtils servers?

Most utilities process data locally in your browser. When a tool must contact a server, the relevant page explains that behavior.

How can I limit tracking?

You can use browser privacy settings, block third-party cookies, or install an analytics opt-out extension supported by your browser.

Who is responsible for data entered into tools?

You control the content you paste or upload. BetterUtils does not claim ownership of tool input and does not publish it publicly.

Where can I read the full terms of use?

Our Terms of Service describe acceptable use, disclaimers, and limitations of liability for BetterUtils utilities.
