Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

MorseCodeTranslation.net is a free online Morse code translation tool. References to "we", "us", or "our" throughout this policy refer to the operators of this website.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

• The text or Morse code you type into the translator — all translation is processed locally in your browser and never sent to our servers
• Your name, email address, or any personal identifiers (unless you voluntarily submit the contact form)
• Your location beyond what your browser shares with any website (general country/region from IP address)
• Audio you generate or download — this is created entirely in your browser

3. Information We May Collect

3a. Analytics

We may use privacy-focused analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar services) to understand how many people visit the site, which pages are popular, and what browsers and devices are used. This data is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify individual visitors from it.

3b. Contact Form

If you use the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not added to any mailing list or shared with third parties.

3c. Server Logs

Like all websites, our server automatically records basic access information: your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. These logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days for security and debugging purposes and are not used for advertising or profiling.

4. Cookies

We use minimal cookies. These may include:

• Analytics cookies — to understand site traffic (you can opt out via your browser settings)
• Preference cookies — to remember settings like your chosen speed or volume (stored locally, not on our servers)

We do not use advertising cookies or sell cookie data to third parties.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services that have their own privacy policies:

• Google Fonts — to load the fonts used on this site. Google may log font requests.
• Analytics providers — to measure site traffic anonymously.

6. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months then deleted. Server access logs are retained for 30 days. We do not retain any data about your translations.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Request access to any personal data we hold about you
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Opt out of analytics tracking via browser settings or opt-out tools

To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the contact page.

8. Children's Privacy

This site is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through our contact form, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
