Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2026
At SHA256 Generator, privacy is our core principle. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle information when you visit and use our website.
1. Local Browser Processing
The primary function of this website is generating SHA-256 hashes. We do not collect, store, or transmit the text you enter into our tool. All hashing operations are performed strictly locally in your browser using the Web Crypto API. The data you process never touches our servers.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
Because our tool functions entirely on the client-side (in your browser), we do not collect:
- Text or data you paste into the generator.
- Generated hashes.
- Personal information, unless you explicitly email us.
3. Cookies and Tracking
This website operates as a static site. We use local storage purely to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode) so that your experience is consistent across visits. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or invasive analytics platforms.
4. Web Hosting and Server Logs
Like all websites, our hosting provider (Cloudflare Pages) may automatically log standard connection information when you visit the site. This typically includes your IP address, browser type, and timestamps. This information is used solely for security and ensuring the reliable operation of the infrastructure.
5. Contact Information
If you choose to contact us via email, we will only use your email address and any information you provide to respond to your inquiry. We do not sell or share contact information.
6. Children's Privacy
Our website is a general utility tool and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children under the age of 13.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time if our practices change. The updated policy will be posted on this page with an updated date.
8. Contact Us
