Privacy Policy for passwordkeymaker.com

Effective Date: March 30, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to passwordkeymaker.com (the “Website,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors and users (“you”). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit and use our Website, particularly our password generation tools and informational content.  

Your privacy is critically important to us. Our core tools, the Random Password Generator and Password Strength Checker, are designed with privacy as a fundamental principle.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect: Generated Passwords

Crucially, we want to be absolutely clear: The Random Password Generator and any related password checking tools on this Website operate entirely within your web browser (client-side).

  • We DO NOT collect, record, store, log, or transmit any passwords or passphrases you generate using our tools.
  • We DO NOT collect, record, store, log, or transmit any passwords you may enter into any strength checking tool on this Website.

The generation and analysis process happens locally on your device; the information never reaches our servers.

3. Information We May Collect

While we don’t collect the passwords you generate, we may collect other types of information typical for website operation and improvement:

  • Log Data: Like most websites, our servers automatically record information (“Log Data”) that your browser sends whenever you visit our Website. This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (often anonymized or truncated), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Website that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other standard statistics. This data is used for website administration, security monitoring, and analyzing trends to improve the Website.  
  • Analytics Data: We may use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to help us understand how users engage with our Website. These services use cookies and similar technologies to collect information like which pages you visit, how long you stay, the type of device you are using, and general geographic location (e.g., country or city). This information is typically aggregated and anonymized and is used solely to understand website traffic and improve user experience. We do not combine analytics data with personally identifiable information.  
  • Cookies: Our Website may use “cookies” to enhance user experience and for analytics purposes. Cookies are small files stored on your device. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some portions of our Website may not function properly. (See Section 5 for more details).  

4. How We Use Your Information

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

  • To operate, maintain, and improve our Website and its services.
  • To monitor the usage of our Website for security and performance analysis.
  • To understand how users interact with our content and tools, allowing us to enhance user experience and develop relevant content.
  • To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or potential security threats.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information (like IP addresses potentially found in logs or anonymous analytics data) to third parties. We may share limited information only in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: With third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting or analytics, under strict confidentiality agreements.  
  • Legal Requirements: If required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).  
  • Security: To protect the security and integrity of our Website.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect the information we collect (primarily server logs and analytics data) from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We use standard practices like HTTPS (SSL/TLS encryption) for data transmission. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.  

8. Data Retention

We retain Log Data for a limited period necessary for security analysis and website administration, after which it is typically deleted or anonymized. Aggregated and anonymized analytics data may be retained for longer periods to analyze trends.  

9. Children’s Privacy

Our Website is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under this age. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.  

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, or delete data, or object to processing. Given the limited and often anonymous nature of the data we collect (primarily logs and analytics), exercising these rights may be limited in practice. However, you can manage cookies via your browser and opt-out of Google Analytics using their tools. If you have specific concerns, please contact us.  

11. Links to Other Websites

Our Website may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

We will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this Privacy Policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
