Privacy Policy

Last updated on January 15, 2024

1. Introduction

Welcome to GPT Watermark Remover ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your data. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our GPT watermark removal tool at gptwatermark.net.

Key Point: We do not collect, store, or transmit your text content. All processing happens locally in your browser.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Unlike most web services, we deliberately do NOT collect the following:

Your Text Content: Any text you paste into our GPT watermark remover is processed entirely in your browser and never sent to our servers
Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information
Account Data: We do not require registration or account creation
Payment Information: Our service is completely free and does not process payments
Behavioral Tracking: We do not use cookies for tracking, analytics, or advertising purposes
Device Fingerprinting: We do not create unique identifiers for your device

3. How Our GPT Watermark Remover Works

Our tool operates using client-side JavaScript technology:

Local Processing: When you paste text into our GPT watermark remover, it is analyzed and cleaned entirely within your web browser
No Server Upload: Your text never leaves your device or gets transmitted to our servers
Instant Results: All watermark detection and removal happens in real-time on your device
No Storage: Once you close the browser tab, your text is permanently deleted from memory

You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet after loading the page - our GPT watermark remover will continue to work offline.

4. Information We Do Collect

We collect minimal technical information for service operation and security:

Server Logs: Standard web server logs including IP addresses, browser type, operating system, and access timestamps. These logs are used solely for security monitoring, preventing abuse, and improving service performance.
Language Preference: We store your language selection (English or Chinese) in your browser's local storage to remember your preference for future visits. This data never leaves your device.
Aggregate Usage Statistics: We may collect anonymous, aggregated statistics about page views and feature usage (without any personal identifiers) to understand how our GPT watermark remover is being used.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

We use minimal cookies and local storage:

Essential Cookies: We use only essential cookies required for the website to function properly (e.g., language preference)
No Tracking Cookies: We do not use cookies for analytics, advertising, or cross-site tracking
No Third-Party Cookies: We do not allow third-party services to set cookies on our domain
Local Storage: Your language preference is stored in your browser's local storage and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings

6. Third-Party Services

We use minimal third-party services:

Google Fonts: We load fonts from Google Fonts CDN for typography. Google may collect basic usage data. You can learn more at Google's Privacy Policy.
Hosting Provider: Our website is hosted on secure servers. The hosting provider may collect standard server logs for security and performance purposes.
No Analytics Services: We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other analytics tracking services

7. Data Security
