Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

1. Data Controller

AnyNotepad™ is a brand and trademark. For the identity, registered address, and contact details of the legal entity responsible for this Service (the “Controller”), please visit our Impressum page.

2. Our Core Commitment

AnyNotepad is designed with a privacy-first approach. We do not require registration, we do not create user accounts, and we do not actively collect, store, or process your personal data for any commercial, analytical, or profiling purpose.

3. Cookies

We do not place cookies on your device. We do not use cookie-based tracking, analytics, or advertising technologies of any kind. No cookie consent mechanism is required because no cookies are deployed by us.

4. Text and Content You Input

The Tools provided by the Service are designed to process text locally within your web browser. The text, data, or content you input into any Tool is not transmitted to our servers, not stored, not logged, and not accessible to us in any way.

We have no ability to view, retrieve, or reconstruct any content you process using the Service. You retain full ownership and responsibility for any content you input.

Important: You are strongly advised not to input sensitive personal data, confidential information, trade secrets, classified material, or any data subject to regulatory protection into any online service — including this one.

5. Technical Data and Server Infrastructure

When you access any website — including AnyNotepad — certain technical data is necessarily transmitted as part of the standard functioning of internet protocols. This may include:

Your IP address;
Browser type and version;
Operating system;
Referring URL;
Date and time of access;
Pages or tools requested.

We do not actively collect, analyse, or use this data. However, the web server infrastructure that hosts the Service may automatically generate temporary access logs as a standard operational function. Such logs, if generated, are a function of the hosting environment and are not actively used, reviewed, or processed by us for any purpose other than ensuring the basic operation and security of the Service.

6. Third-Party Infrastructure Providers

The delivery of any web-based service inherently involves third-party infrastructure. When you access AnyNotepad, your connection may pass through or be facilitated by:

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) that serve static assets such as fonts, stylesheets, or scripts;
Domain Name System (DNS) providers that resolve the domain to a server address;
Hosting providers that operate the server infrastructure;
Your own Internet Service Provider (ISP) or network operator.

Each of these third parties may independently collect or process technical data (such as your IP address) in accordance with their own privacy policies and legal obligations. This processing is beyond our control and outside the scope of our responsibility. We do not direct, instruct, or influence what these providers collect, and we do not receive personal data from them.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of your ISP, network operator, and browser vendor.

7. Legal Basis for Processing

To the extent that any minimal, automatic technical processing occurs (such as server access logs described in Section 5), the legal basis is:

Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — specifically, the legitimate interest in maintaining the operational functionality, security, and integrity of the Service, and in protecting against malicious use, attacks, or abuse.

We do not process personal data on the basis of consent, contractual necessity, or any other legal ground, because we do not actively collect personal data.

8. Data Retention

Since we do not actively collect or store personal data, there is no personal data retained by us.

Any server access logs that may be automatically generated by hosting infrastructure are subject to the hosting provider’s own retention schedules and policies, over which we exercise no direct control. We do not independently archive, back up, or retain such logs.

9. International Data Transfers

We do not actively transfer personal data to any third country. However, third-party infrastructure providers referenced in Section 6 may operate servers or route data through locations outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Any such transfers are governed by the respective provider’s own legal safeguards and are beyond our operational control.

10. Your Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable national law, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

Right of access (Article 15 GDPR)
Right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR)
Right to erasure (Article 17 GDPR)
Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)
Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)
Right to object (Article 21 GDPR)
Right not to be subject to automated decision-making (Article 22 GDPR)

In practice, because we do not actively collect or hold personal data, we may be unable to identify, retrieve, or act upon data pertaining to you. We will, however, respond to any legitimate request in good faith and in compliance with applicable law.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us via the details provided on our Impressum page.

11. Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the EU/EEA Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Since we do not collect personal data from any user, no age-specific data is gathered or retained.

13. Security

While we do not collect or store your data, we take reasonable measures to maintain the operational integrity of the Service. However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. The transmission of information over the internet carries inherent risks, and you access the Service at your own risk.

14. Third-Party Links

The Service may contain references or links to third-party websites, tools, or resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of any third party. You access third-party services at your own discretion and risk.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Service after any modification constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. It is your responsibility to review this page periodically.

16. Contact
