This Privacy Policy explains how ASCIIFactory ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit ascii.trysitely.com. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices.

Your Text Stays Private

ASCIIFactory does not collect any of the text you enter into our tools. All processing — converting text to ASCII art, encoding to binary or hex, generating boxes and lines — happens entirely within your browser using JavaScript. Your input text is never transmitted to our servers or any third party. This is true for all tools on the site.

Information We Collect

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymous usage data, including:

Pages visited and time spent on each page
General geographic location (country or region level only — not precise location)
Device type, browser, and operating system
Referring websites and search terms that led to the site
Custom events such as which tool was used (tool name only, never input text)

We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or precise IP address through analytics.

How We Use This Information

Analytics data is used solely to understand which tools are most popular, identify technical issues, and guide decisions about new features. We do not sell, rent, or share analytics data with third parties beyond what is required to operate Google Analytics.

Advertising

We display advertisements through Google AdSense to support the free operation of this site. Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to serve relevant ads based on your browsing history. You can review Google's advertising privacy controls at adssettings.google.com and opt out of interest-based advertising. You can also opt out at Google Ads Settings.

Cookies

This site uses cookies through Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _ga_*) and Google AdSense. These cookies do not contain personally identifiable information. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Using your browser's private/incognito mode prevents persistent tracking cookies from being stored.

Children's Privacy

ASCIIFactory does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. We do not offer accounts, registration, or any feature requiring personal data submission.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
