Privacy Policy
1. Overview & Commitment
At Mehvi (accessible at https://mehvireadtime.netlify.app/), we believe that utility tools should respect user privacy by default. This Privacy Policy details our operational practices regarding the handling of information when you use the Read Time Calculator for Articles & Blogs.
2. In-Browser Client-Side Text Processing
The most important privacy feature of Mehvi is our zero-transmission architecture:
- No Server Uploads: When you paste, write, or analyze text in our calculator, all word counting, sentence parsing, character counts, and reading-time calculations are executed strictly within your local browser memory using client-side JavaScript.
- No Data Storage: We do not log, transmit, intercept, or store your text, article drafts, manuscripts, or essays on any web server, cloud database, or third-party API.
- Transient Memory: Your text exists solely in your browser's temporary working session. When you refresh, navigate away, or close your browser tab, the text is instantly cleared from memory.
3. Information We Collect
Because our core calculator is purely client-side, we do not require account registration, email sign-ups, or personal identity verification:
- Personal Data: We do not collect names, addresses, or phone numbers unless you choose to voluntarily submit an inquiry through our contact form.
- Standard Server Logs: Like standard web hosts, our hosting servers may automatically record standard anonymous request logs (IP addresses, browser user-agent strings, and request timestamps) strictly for infrastructure security, DDoS mitigation, and server maintenance.
4. Cookies and Web Beacons
The core Read Time Calculator does not use tracking cookies or session identifiers to monitor user activity.
If and when third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) are activated on the website, those third parties may use cookies and web beacons to serve advertisements based on prior visits to this or other websites. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or AboutAds.info.
5. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Policy
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
The website publisher will configure an appropriate consent management platform (CMP) where mandated by applicable regional regulations (such as GDPR in the European Economic Area and CCPA/CPRA in California).
6. Links to External Websites
Our website may contain links to external reference materials or resources. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services.
7. Children's Privacy
Our service is intended for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological improvements or legal obligations. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
