Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 30, 2026

At Wordpad.us (accessible from https://wordpad.us), one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by Wordpad.us and how we use it, in compliance with standard global privacy regulations (including GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and Google AdSense publisher policies).

Zero Server Storage of Your Documents

Wordpad.us is engineered as a client-side web application. All text, tables, notes, and content typed or pasted into the Wordpad editor remain strictly on your device inside your browser's LocalStorage. We do not upload, read, process, or store your document contents on our servers. When you close or clear your browser data, your documents remain under your sole discretion.

1. Information We Collect

If you use Wordpad.us, we do not require account registration, passwords, or personal identity verification. The only personal information we may receive is:

  • Voluntary Inquiries: If you contact us via our contact form or support email, we receive your name, email address, subject line, and the content of your message.
  • Standard Log Files: Like standard web hosts, Wordpad.us makes use of log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. These are not linked to personally identifiable information and are used solely for website administration and security analysis.

2. Cookies and Web Beacons

Wordpad.us uses "cookies" to store information including visitors' preferences (such as editor zoom level, ruler visibility, line numbers, or paginated view settings). These cookies optimize the user experience by customizing web page content based on browser configuration.

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Partners

Google is one of our third-party vendors. It also uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to wordpad.us and other sites on the internet.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by opting out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

4. Third-Party Privacy Policies

Wordpad.us's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or external websites. Thus, we advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.

You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. More detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective websites.

5. CCPA Privacy Rights & GDPR Data Protection Rights

We respect your data rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  • The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
  • The right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
  • The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions.
  • The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
  • The right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you.

If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

6. Children's Information

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity. Wordpad.us does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13.
