Privacy

Every tool on Scratchpad runs entirely in your browser. Your text, your data, your regex patterns. None of it leaves your machine. There is no server to send it to. We didn't build one.

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see basic traffic data: page views, visitor counts, top pages, and load speed. Cloudflare adds a small script to each page that reports those numbers. It doesn't use cookies, doesn't collect personal data, doesn't see anything you type into a tool, and doesn't track you across sites. There's no way for us to identify individual visitors. We use it to know if the site is working, not to know who's using it.

Beyond that: no tracking pixels, no session recording, no fingerprinting. We don't know what you paste, how long you spend on a page, or anything about you personally.

Scratchpad doesn't set any cookies for tool functionality. If third-party ads are added in the future, those ad networks may set their own cookies. We'll update this page if that happens and be transparent about it.

There are no accounts. No email addresses, no passwords, no "sign in with Google." There's nothing to sign into because we don't store anything. Most tools start fresh and forget everything when you close the tab.

The Online Notepad saves your note to your browser's local storage so it survives a closed tab. That copy lives on your device only. It's never uploaded, and clearing the note or your browser's site data deletes it.

Scratchpad uses a service worker to cache pages for offline use. This cache lives in your browser and isn't transmitted anywhere. You can clear it through your browser's settings at any time.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, request timestamps) as part of their infrastructure. We don't have access to these logs and don't use them. Fonts are self-hosted from our own domain, so no third-party font services see your traffic.

If we add advertising or anything else that changes this privacy posture, we'll update this page before making the change. The core promise doesn't change: your text and data stay in your browser. That's the whole point.
