Introduction
ChatGPT Detector ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our AI text detection tool. Please read this policy carefully. By accessing or using ChatGPT Detector, you agree to the terms described herein.
Information We Do Not Collect From Detection
Our core detection feature operates entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript. When you paste text into the detector and click "Analyze Text," that content is processed locally on your device. We do not transmit, store, sell, or share the text you analyze on our servers. This architecture is fundamental to our privacy promise and distinguishes us from cloud-based detection services that require uploading sensitive documents.
Information We May Collect Automatically
Like most websites, we may collect certain non-personal information automatically when you visit our pages. This may include your IP address (typically anonymized by analytics providers), browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and general geographic region derived from IP. We use this aggregated data solely to improve site performance, understand traffic patterns, and optimize user experience.
Cookies and Local Storage
We use browser localStorage to save your theme preference (dark or light mode) so your choice persists across visits. This data never leaves your device and is not shared with third parties. We may also use cookies placed by advertising partners such as Google AdSense to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective provider's privacy policies. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some site features or ad experiences may be affected.
Google AdSense and Advertising
ChatGPT Detector displays advertisements to support our free service. Google AdSense, a third-party vendor, may use cookies including the DoubleClick cookie to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their browsing history. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
Contact Form Information
When you submit our contact form, you voluntarily provide your name, email address, and message content. In the current implementation, form submissions are handled client-side for demonstration purposes and are not transmitted to a backend server. When a production backend is deployed, we will use your contact information solely to respond to your inquiry and will not sell it to third parties. We retain correspondence only as long as necessary to resolve your request.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit through our links.
Children's Privacy
ChatGPT Detector is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently received information from a child, please contact us immediately and we will delete it promptly.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical measures to protect our website infrastructure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. Because text analysis occurs locally, the primary security consideration is your own device environment. We recommend using updated browsers and avoiding analysis of highly classified material on shared computers.
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data we hold. To exercise these rights, contact us through our Contact page. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe as required by applicable law, including GDPR for European users and CCPA for California residents where applicable.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. Material changes will be highlighted prominently when feasible.
Contact Us
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please reach out via our Contact page. We are happy to clarify how we handle data and address any concerns you may have about using ChatGPT Detector responsibly.
