Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Commitment

HashtagCraft is built with privacy-first principles. We believe your content and creative work should remain yours, stored locally on your device, not on our servers.

What Data We Collect

Data Stored Locally (In Your Browser Only)

The following data is stored exclusively in your browser using IndexedDB and never leaves your device:

• Generation History: Your caption generations, including input descriptions, tone selections, and generated results
• Favorites: Captions and hashtags you've marked as favorites
• Preferences: Your dark mode setting and other UI preferences

Data Sent to Third-Party Services

When you generate captions, we send your input to AI service providers:

• What We Send: Your post description, selected tone, length preference, and emoji style
• AI Provider: Anthropic (Claude API)
• Purpose: To generate AI-powered caption suggestions
• Retention: AI providers may temporarily process this data according to their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing Anthropic's Privacy Policy.

• ❌ No cookies for tracking or advertising
• ❌ No analytics or usage tracking
• ❌ No email addresses or contact information
• ❌ No server-side storage of your content

Your Rights and Control

You have complete control over your data:

• Access: All your data is stored locally in your browser and accessible to you at any time

Security

Since all persistent data is stored locally in your browser:

• Your data is as secure as your device and browser
• We recommend keeping your browser and operating system up to date
• Use browser security features like master passwords
• Be cautious when using shared or public computers
