1. Introduction and data controller
FancyText.io (hereinafter referred to as "the Service," "we," "us," or "our") is a free Unicode fancy text generator website. This Privacy Policy governs your use of FancyText.io and all associated tools, including our text generator, style previews, favorites feature, and contact form.
By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, you must discontinue use of the Service immediately.
Data controller: CyberRudra Technologies operates FancyText.io. The Service is designed, built, and maintained by Shailendra Zade on behalf of CyberRudra Technologies. For privacy-related inquiries, please use our contact page or email [email protected].
2. Information collection and use
2.1 Log data
When you access the Service, our servers and hosting environment may automatically collect certain technical information ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include:
- Your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system and device type
- Pages visited within our Service
- Time and date of your visit
- Time spent on pages
- Referring URL (the website that directed you to our Service)
This information is used to analyze usage trends, maintain site performance, troubleshoot errors, and gather broad demographic information in aggregate. How long Log Data is kept depends on our hosting and analytics configuration. We may retain server logs as needed for security, troubleshooting, and legal compliance.
2.2 Fancy text generator input
When you type text into our generator, your input is sent to our servers over HTTPS so we can generate styled Unicode previews and return them to your browser. This happens each time you load or refresh styles (for example, when you change text or load more styles).
We process that text only to produce the preview output for your session. We do not save what you type into a database on our servers, and we do not store it for later retrieval. Standard server Log Data (such as IP address and request metadata) may still be recorded as described in Section 2.1.
2.3 Favorites data
If you save styles to favorites, that list is stored in a cookie named favoriteText in your browser on your device.
The cookie is kept for up to 30 days unless you remove favorites, clear FancyText.io site data, or delete the cookie sooner.
We do not upload your favorites list to our servers.
2.4 Contact form data
If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, optional topic, and message content. This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not use contact form submissions for marketing or share them with advertisers. Messages are typically delivered by email to our team and may remain in our mail systems as long as needed to respond, for reasonable follow-up, or longer if required by law.
2.5 Cookies and similar technologies (overview)
We use cookies and similar browser technologies to operate favorites, understand how the Service is used, and support advertising. A detailed breakdown appears in Section 5 below. You can control cookies and site data through your browser settings. Disabling cookies or clearing site data may affect saved favorites, analytics, or personalized ad delivery.
3. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics (Google LLC) to understand how visitors use FancyText.io. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Service.
Information collected through Google Analytics may include, for example:
- Pages viewed and navigation paths
- Approximate geographic location derived from IP address
- Device and browser information
- Referring website or campaign data
- Date and time of visits
Google uses this data to provide us with aggregated reports about site traffic and usage. Google may also use collected data to contextualize and personalize ads across its own advertising network, in accordance with Google's policies.
Google Analytics data retention in our property follows the settings configured in Google Analytics 4. Common GA4 user-level retention options are 2 months or 14 months. See Google's current documentation for details.
You may opt out of Google Analytics on this Service by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For more information on how Google processes data, visit Google Privacy & Terms.
4. Google AdSense and third-party advertising
The Service may display advertisements through Google AdSense, a third-party advertising program operated by Google LLC. We load the AdSense script to support ads that help keep FancyText.io free to use. Ad placement may vary by page and may change over time.
4.1 Advertising cookies
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to FancyText.io and/or other sites on the Internet.
Google may use the DoubleClick cookie (or similar technologies) to serve ads based on your visit to FancyText.io and other websites. Other third-party vendors or ad networks may also use cookies to serve ads on our site if we have not opted out of third-party ad serving.
4.2 Personalized advertising
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to our Service and other websites. These technologies may use your IP address and other information to measure ad effectiveness and show more relevant ads.
4.3 Opting out of personalized advertising
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting:
- Google Ad Settings: https://adssettings.google.com/
- Network Advertising Initiative: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/
- Digital Advertising Alliance: https://optout.aboutads.info/
Alternatively, users may opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
4.4 Third-party disclaimer
We do not control the content of advertisements or the cookies placed by third-party advertisers. FancyText.io has no access to or control over cookies used by third-party advertisers. Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to display advertisements on our site and automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. Other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons) may also be used to measure ad effectiveness or personalize ad content.
You should review the privacy policies of third-party ad vendors for more detail on their practices. See also How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. We do not sell your personal information to advertisers.
4.5 Users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, applicable law and Google's EU User Consent Policy may place requirements on non-essential cookies and personalized advertising. Google Analytics and AdSense may set cookies when you visit the Service.
You can limit non-essential tracking and personalized ads using your browser's cookie and site-data controls and the opt-out tools in Sections 3 and 4. We may add or update consent mechanisms on the Service as legal requirements and our advertising setup evolve. Non-personalized ads may still use cookies for frequency capping, reporting, and fraud prevention in line with Google's policies.
5. Cookies, local storage, and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Local storage is a separate browser feature that can persist data on your device until you clear it. FancyText.io uses the following categories:
5.1 Essential and functional storage
- Favorites cookie (
favoriteText): stores your saved text styles in your browser for up to 30 days
These features support tools you choose to use. They are not used to sell your data and are not uploaded to our servers.
5.2 Analytics cookies
Google Analytics may set cookies to measure traffic, understand which pages are popular, and improve performance. See Section 3 for more detail and opt-out options.
5.3 Advertising cookies
Google AdSense and its partners may set cookies to deliver ads, cap how often you see an ad, and measure campaign performance. See Section 4 for required disclosures and opt-out links.
5.4 How long data lasts in your browser
- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser
- Favorites cookie: up to 30 days, or until you clear site data or remove favorites
- Analytics and advertising cookies: duration is set by Google and may vary
5.5 Managing cookies and site data
You can manage cookies and local storage by:
- Changing cookie and site-data settings in your browser
- Clearing FancyText.io site data to remove saved favorites
- Using the opt-out tools listed in Sections 3 and 4
Blocking cookies or clearing site data may prevent favorites from saving and may limit analytics or ad personalization.

8. Security of your data
The security of your data is important to us. We use HTTPS to encrypt data transmitted between your browser and our servers. Our site is hosted on servers with regular maintenance and access controls intended to protect the Service.
While we strive to use reasonable means to protect information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. You acknowledge that security and privacy limitations exist on the Internet that are beyond our control.
9. Changes to this privacy policy
We may update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Material changes: If we make material changes that affect your rights or how we handle personal data, we will provide notice on our website before the change becomes effective where appropriate. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of those changes.
10. Third-party links and services
Our Service may contain links to third-party websites (for example, Google opt-out tools, CyberRudra Technologies, or social profiles). If you click 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 third-party sites or services.
11. International data transfers
Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States, where our hosting or service providers operate. Data protection laws in those countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us (for example, through our contact form), you agree that such data may be transferred to and processed in those jurisdictions.
12. Contact us
Questions about this Privacy Policy, data access or deletion requests, or GDPR, CCPA, or COPPA inquiries? Use our contact page or write to [email protected]. We aim to respond within a few business days for general inquiries. For formal privacy rights requests, we will respond within timeframes required by applicable law.
Technical statement: fancy text processing
For transparency, this is how our fancy text generator handles data:
FancyText.io converts plain text into styled Unicode characters using predefined style mappings on our servers when you request previews.
Your typed text is transmitted over HTTPS for that request, processed to generate output, and not stored in a server-side database.
Favorites are stored in a favoriteText browser cookie (up to 30 days) on your device only.
Traffic measurement uses Google Analytics. Advertising may use Google AdSense.
Contact form submissions are processed for response only and are not used for marketing.
We do not sell generator usage data to third parties for advertising.
