01 Information We Do Not Collect
We believe in minimal data collection. TextGlitchGenerator.com is designed so that the core functionality — generating glitch text, Zalgo text, vaporwave text, and other Unicode effects — works entirely within your browser.
Your Text Input
All text generation happens client-side via JavaScript. The characters you type are processed locally on your device. No text is sent to our servers or any third-party server. We have no ability to see, read, log, or store anything you type into our tools.
Account Information
There is no account system. We do not collect usernames, email addresses, passwords, or profile information to use our tools. You never need to sign up or log in.
Payment Data
TextGlitchGenerator.com is completely free. We do not process payments, so we never collect credit card numbers, billing addresses, or any financial information.
02 Information That May Be Collected
While we don't collect your text or personal details, some data may be gathered through analytics, advertising, and standard web infrastructure. Here's a transparent breakdown.
Analytics
We may use Google Analytics or similar services to understand how visitors use our site. This includes aggregated data such as page views, device type, browser, general geographic location (country/city level), and referring website. IP addresses are anonymized where supported by the analytics platform.
This information helps us improve the site — for example, understanding which tools are most popular or whether the site loads correctly on different devices.
Advertising
TextGlitchGenerator.com uses third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, to display ads. These advertising partners may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads and to measure their effectiveness.
These technologies allow ad networks to recognize your browser across websites in order to serve ads relevant to your interests. Google AdSense specifically uses cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google's My Ad Center or the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page.
Server Logs
Like most websites, our web server automatically records standard server log data. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, referring page, pages visited, and the date and time of each request. Server logs are retained for 30 days and are used solely for security monitoring and troubleshooting.
03 Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. Here's how they're used on this site.
First-Party Cookies
TextGlitchGenerator.com does not currently set any first-party cookies. All tool preferences (like glitch intensity levels) are handled in-memory and are not persisted between sessions.
Third-Party Cookies
Our advertising and analytics partners — primarily Google AdSense and Google Analytics — may set their own cookies on your device. These are used to serve relevant ads, measure ad performance, and analyze site traffic.
For details on what cookies Google sets, see Google's Cookie Policy.
Managing Cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies, clear all cookies on exit, or receive a notification before a cookie is set. Note that blocking cookies may affect ad-supported functionality but will not affect the text generator tools themselves.
04 Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data.
| Service | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdSense | Advertising | Google Privacy Policy |
| Google Analytics | Site analytics | Google Privacy Policy |
| Google Fonts | Font loading | Google Fonts Privacy |
Google Fonts loads typefaces from Google's servers. When your browser requests a font, your IP address is transmitted to Google. See Google Fonts Privacy FAQ for details.
05 Children's Privacy
TextGlitchGenerator.com is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
This is in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
06 Data Retention
We keep data for as short a period as practical.
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Your text input | Never stored — processed locally in your browser only |
| Server logs | 30 days, then automatically deleted |
| Analytics data | Per Google Analytics 4 retention settings (default 2 months, extendable to 14 months) |
| Advertising cookies | Per third-party partner policies |
07 Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have specific rights regarding your personal data under regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
Your Rights Include
Right to know — You can request details about what personal data, if any, we have collected about you.
Right to delete — You can request the deletion of any personal data we hold. Since we store minimal data, this primarily applies to server logs.

Right to non-discrimination — We will not treat you differently for exercising any of these rights.
