Privacy

Your text stays in the box. Here is the whole of it.

What the page collects

Nothing. There is no analytics script, no advertising tag, no cookie, no session and no account. The page is a set of static files: HTML, one stylesheet, two JavaScript files and self-hosted fonts. Every operation, from joining a line to counting UTF-8 bytes, is a function that runs on the string already in the textarea.

Where your text goes

Nowhere. It is read from the textarea, changed in memory and written back to the textarea. There is no request in the page at all, and a content security policy blocks every other origin, so there is no address it could be sent to. It is not written to local storage, not put in a cookie and not kept in a draft.

Closing the tab discards it. That is the whole retention policy.

What is stored in your browser

Two small settings, kept in local storage so the page opens the way you left it: pikkola.text.theme (light or dark) and pikkola.text.lang (en, ko or ja). Neither contains any of your text. To clear them, open your browser's site data settings for text.pikkola.com and delete the entry, or use a private window.

Clipboard

The Copy button writes to the clipboard through the browser's own permission, and only when you press it. The page never reads the clipboard on its own.

What the host sees

Cloudflare serves these files, and like any hosting provider it records requests to the site in its own logs: an IP address, a user agent, the file requested, the time. That record is about the page, not about what you typed, because what you typed never travels. We do not add analytics on top of it and we do not read those logs.

If you write to us

Mail to [email protected] arrives in a mailbox a person reads. We keep it while the conversation is useful and use it only to answer. We do not add the address to a list.

Changes

If this page ever changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes with it. There is no newsletter to announce it to, so the date is the record.
