Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 5, 2026
Overview
Xplosole (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data when you use our website and tools.
The short version: We don't collect, store, or transmit any files you process with our tools. Almost all tools run 100% locally in your browser. The one exception is the Writing Assistant, which optionally sends text to third-party APIs — and discloses this clearly at every touchpoint.
Data We Do Not Collect
- Files you upload or paste into our tools
- Documents, images, or text you process
- Passwords you generate or encode
- Any personal information entered into tool inputs
All tool operations are performed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. No data is ever sent to our servers.
Data We May Collect
Like most websites, we collect standard, anonymized analytics data:
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Browser type, operating system, and screen size (anonymized)
- Country-level location data
- Referring website
- Which tools were used (tool name and category only — never the content you process)
This data is collected via Google Analytics 4 and is used solely to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. No personally identifiable information is collected.
Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics:
- Collects anonymous usage data (pages visited, time on site, browser type, country)
- Does not see any files, text, or content you process in our tools
- Uses cookies to identify returning visitors anonymously
- Tracks which tools are used (e.g. “pdf-merger was used”) — never the content processed by those tools
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Remembering your dark/light mode preference
- Google Analytics (anonymized traffic analysis)
- Google AdSense (serving relevant advertisements)
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Some site features (like theme preference) may not work without cookies.
Advertising
Xplosole displays advertisements via Google AdSense to fund free access to our tools. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.
Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the date at the top of this page.
Writing Assistant — Third-Party Data Processing
The Writing Assistant tool uses three components with different privacy implications. You can disable any external component at any time using the feature toggles or the Private Mode switch inside the tool.
🔒 Spell Check (Private)
Runs entirely in your browser using the browser's built-in spell checker. No data leaves your device.
☁️ Grammar Check (External)
We use the LanguageTool API to analyse your text for grammar issues. When grammar check is enabled:
- Your text is sent to LanguageTool's servers via HTTPS
- LanguageTool processes the text and returns suggestions
- We do not store your text on our servers (we have no servers)
- LanguageTool's privacy policy applies: languagetool.org/legal/privacy
- LanguageTool states they do not store text from API requests
☁️ Translation (External)
We use the MyMemory Translation API. When translation is enabled:
- Your text is sent to MyMemory's servers via HTTPS
- MyMemory may store query strings to improve their translation memory
- MyMemory's terms of service: mymemory.translated.net/doc/tos.php
- For sensitive content, disable translation and use only spell check
Your Control
You can disable Grammar Check and Translation inside the tool using the feature toggles or the 🔒 Private Modeswitch, leaving only browser spell check enabled. Your preference is saved to your browser's localStorage.
Recommendation: Do not paste passwords, API keys, financial account numbers, government IDs, medical records, or other sensitive data into this tool while Grammar Check or Translation are enabled.
