1. Who we are

Createfor.me ("we," "us," "our") is a browser-based toolkit of free online tools built for content creators, social media managers, podcasters, and anyone who makes things on the internet. We operate the website located at https://createfor.me and all subpages, including individual tool pages such as the Voice Changer, Thumbnail Maker, Viral Hook Generator, and others.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information about you when you use our website and tools. It applies to all visitors, users, and others who access or use Createfor.me.

By using Createfor.me, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms described here, please discontinue use of the site.

2. What information we collect

We aim to collect the absolute minimum information needed to operate and improve our tools. Here is a complete breakdown:

Information you give us directly

• Contact form submissions: If you use the Contact page, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message so we can respond.
• Email sign-up: If you voluntarily provide your email address for updates or notifications, we store it to send you the communications you requested.

Information collected automatically

• Usage data: We collect basic, aggregated information about how tools are used — which tools are opened, how frequently, and general interaction patterns. This data is anonymised and not linked to any individual.
• Technical data: We may collect your general geographic region (country-level only, not precise location), browser type, operating system, and device type. This helps us improve tool compatibility and performance.
• Referral data: We may record how you arrived at Createfor.me (e.g., via search engine, direct link, or referring website) to understand which marketing channels are working.

What we do NOT collect

• We do not collect or store any files you process using our file-based tools (audio files, images, video — see Section 4).
• We do not collect your full IP address for tracking purposes.
• We do not create or maintain individual user profiles for advertising purposes.
• We do not collect sensitive personal data (financial information, government IDs, health data, etc.).

3. How we use the information we collect

We use the limited information we collect for the following specific purposes only:

• To respond to your messages. If you contact us via the contact form, we use your name and email to reply to your enquiry. We do not use contact information for any other purpose without your explicit consent.
• To send requested communications. If you've asked to be notified of new tools or updates, we use your email address to send those notifications. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• To improve our tools. Aggregated, anonymised usage data tells us which tools are most popular, where users encounter difficulties, and how we can improve the experience. No individual is identified in this analysis.
• To ensure website security. We may review technical data to identify and address security threats, abuse, or unusual patterns that suggest malicious activity.
• To comply with legal obligations. We may retain or disclose certain information if required to do so by law, court order, or government authority, and only to the minimum extent required.

We do not use your information for: targeted advertising, profiling, automated decision-making, AI model training, or any commercial purpose beyond operating and improving Createfor.me.

4. File processing — what happens to your files

This is the section we're most proud of, and the one we want you to read most carefully.

When you use tools such as the Voice Changer and Audio Editor, the Audio Trimmer and Cutter, the Audio Joiner and Merger, the Photo Filters, or the Thumbnail Maker, all processing is performed using browser-native technologies — the Web Audio API, Canvas API, and related standards built into modern browsers. Your files are read into browser memory, processed by code running in your browser tab, and output directly to your device for download.

What this means for you

• Your files are not visible to us. We cannot see, access, read, or copy them.
• Your files are not stored by us, not even temporarily on a server.
• No third party receives your files as part of the processing.
• When you close the browser tab, the files are gone from the processing context entirely.

AI-powered text tools

For tools that use AI to generate text outputs — such as the Viral Hook Generator, Controversial Opinion Generator, Instagram Story Script Generator, Ragebait Title Generator, and POV Viral Idea Generator — your text prompt is sent to an AI API to generate a response. This is inherently different from file-based tools because the text input must be sent over the internet to generate a result.

Our commitments around AI-powered tools:

• We do not log or store your prompts beyond the immediate API call.
• Your inputs are not used to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI model.
• We do not retain a record of what you asked for or what output was returned.
• API calls are made over encrypted connections (HTTPS).

5. Cookies and tracking technologies

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to make Createfor.me work properly and to understand how people use the site.

Essential cookies

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. These include cookies that maintain your session state, remember your preferences within a tool (such as which effect settings you had selected), and ensure security. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking the site's functionality.

Analytics cookies

We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which tools are being used and how, in aggregated form. We configure our analytics to minimise data collection: IP addresses are anonymised, data is aggregated before storage, and no individual user profiles are built.

Advertising cookies

Some free tools on Createfor.me are supported by contextual advertising. Contextual advertising shows ads based on the content of the page you're viewing, not based on your personal data or browsing history. If advertising partners use cookies, this will be disclosed here and in a cookie consent notice where legally required.

No cross-site tracking

We do not use tracking pixels, cross-site cookies, or any technology designed to follow you across the internet after you leave Createfor.me. What you do on other websites is none of our business.

6. Third parties and service providers

We work with a small number of trusted third-party services to operate Createfor.me. In each case, we have selected providers with strong privacy credentials and we share only the minimum data necessary for the service to function.

Hosting and infrastructure

Our website is hosted on industry-standard cloud infrastructure. Our hosting providers may process your IP address and basic request data as part of normal web serving operations. This data is governed by their own privacy policies.

AI API providers

Our AI-powered text generation tools use third-party AI APIs to generate content. When you use these tools, your text prompt is sent to the API provider to generate a response. We select API providers who do not use API inputs to train their models by default, and we do not send any personally identifying information alongside prompts.

Analytics providers

We use analytics software to understand how Createfor.me is used. We configure these providers to anonymise IP addresses and to collect data in aggregated form where possible.

Advertising partners

If advertising is shown on a tool page, our advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve contextual ads. We do not share personally identifying information with advertising partners. You have the right to opt out of personalised advertising where this applies.

What we never do with third parties

• We never sell your personal data to any third party.
• We never share your data for third-party marketing purposes.
• We never allow third parties to use your data for any purpose other than the service they provide to us.

7. Data security

We take the security of any information we hold seriously. Our security measures include:

• HTTPS everywhere: All connections to Createfor.me are encrypted using TLS/HTTPS. Data in transit cannot be read by third parties.
• Minimal data retention: The best security measure for data is to not store it in the first place. We collect as little as possible and retain it for as short a time as possible.
• Access controls: Access to any personal data we do hold (such as contact form submissions) is restricted to team members who need it to respond to your enquiry.
• Regular review: We periodically review our data handling practices and update our security measures as needed.

However, no system is completely immune to security risks. If you believe there has been a security incident involving your data, please contact us immediately via our Contact page.

8. Your rights

You have rights over your personal data. We want to make exercising those rights as straightforward as possible.

• Right to access: You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you at any time.
• Right to correction: If any data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected.
• Right to deletion: You can request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. We will do so promptly, subject to any legal obligations to retain certain records.
• Right to restriction: You can ask us to limit how we use your data while you dispute its accuracy or our right to process it.
• Right to object: You can object to our processing of your data for analytics or other purposes at any time.
• Right to portability: You can request your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
• Right to withdraw consent: If we're processing your data based on your consent (such as email newsletters), you can withdraw that consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the Contact page. We will respond within 30 days. We will not charge a fee for exercising these rights and will not make the process unnecessarily difficult.

9. Children's privacy

Createfor.me is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately via our Contact page and we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

Our tools — including the Word Counter, QR Code Generator, and other general tools — may be used by young people under the supervision of a parent or guardian, in which case this policy applies in full and the parent or guardian is responsible for supervising that use.

10. GDPR, CCPA and international privacy rights

For users in the European Economic Area (GDPR)

If you are located in the EEA, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our legal bases for processing personal data are:

• Legitimate interests: Basic analytics and security monitoring, balanced against your rights and interests.
• Contract performance: Responding to your contact form messages.
• Consent: Where required (e.g., email sign-up, certain cookies).
• Legal obligation: Where we are required by law to process or retain certain data.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection supervisory authority if you believe we are processing your data unlawfully.

For California residents (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete your personal information, the right to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information), and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

To exercise your California privacy rights, contact us via the Contact page.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our tools evolve or as legal requirements change. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, we will do our best to notify users through a notice on the website.

We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of Createfor.me after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

We will never change this policy in a way that reduces your privacy protections without giving you clear notice and, where appropriate, the opportunity to opt out.

12. Contact us about privacy

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests related to your privacy or this policy, please reach out:

• Via our contact form: createfor.me/contact (select "Privacy or data question" from the topic dropdown)

We will respond to all legitimate privacy enquiries within 30 days. For urgent matters — such as potential data breaches or time-sensitive legal requests — please state this clearly in your message and we will prioritise your request.

We're committed to handling your enquiry seriously and respectfully. Privacy isn't just a legal checkbox for us — it's a core part of why Createfor.me exists.
