Effective Date: [Date – e.g., March 26, 2025]

1. Introduction

Welcome to Grammar Eye (the “Site”, “we”, “us”, “our”), accessible at Grammareye.com. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users (“you”, “your”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we collect, use, share, and protect it when you use our grammar correction service (the “Service”) and interact with our Site.

By using our Site and Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • (a) Text You Provide: The primary information we process is the text content you voluntarily submit into the text area for grammar, spelling, and punctuation correction. We strongly advise against submitting any text that contains sensitive personal information.
  • (b) Usage Data (Potentially Collected by Platform): Like most websites, our hosting server may automatically log standard information provided by your web browser (IP address, browser type, OS, pages visited, timestamps). WordPress, our theme (Astra), and plugins may also collect anonymized or aggregated usage data.
  • (c) Cookies and Tracking Information: We and our third-party partners use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons or pixels) to collect information about your interaction with our Site and the advertisements displayed. This may include information about the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take on the Service, as well as potentially information about your activity on other sites over time. This includes cookies necessary for site functionality and cookies used for advertising and analytics purposes (see Section 6 for details).

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • (a) To Provide the Service: Processing the text you submit via Google’s Generative Language API (as detailed below) to provide corrections.
  • (b) To Display Advertising: To display third-party advertisements on our Site, which helps support the free provision of our Service. These ads may be targeted based on the content of the page or potentially your browsing activity (subject to your consent and opt-out choices).
  • (c) To Maintain and Improve the Site: Using usage data and analytics to monitor performance, ensure security, analyze trends, and improve user experience.
  • (d) To Comply with Law: Using or disclosing information if required by law or legal process.

4. How We Share Your Information

We limit sharing of your information:

  • (a) Google (Third-Party AI Processor): The text you submit is processed by Google’s Generative Language API, governed by Google’s terms and privacy policies. We encourage you to review them:
  • (b) Advertising Partners: We partner with third-party advertising networks, such as Monetag (operated by entities within the Propeller Ads Ltd group) [Add Google AdSense here too, if you ever use it], to display advertisements on our Site. These partners may:
    • Use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to Grammareye.com and other websites (such as web pages viewed and response to ads).
    • Use this information to measure the effectiveness of advertisements and to provide advertisements about goods and services tailored to your potential interests (personalized advertising).
    • The data collection and use practices of these advertising partners are governed by their own privacy policies, not this one. We encourage you to review them:
      • Monetag/Propeller Ads Privacy Policy: [Find the link on the Monetag website, often in the footer – e.g., https://monetag.com/privacy/]
      • [Add link to Google’s Advertising Privacy & Terms if using AdSense]
  • (c) Service Providers: Hosting providers and other technical service providers may have access to data as necessary to perform their functions but are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.
  • (d) Legal Requirements: As required by law or valid legal requests.
  • (e) No Sale of Data: We do not sell or rent the text you submit or your personal information collected directly by us for marketing purposes. (Note: Advertising networks operate based on their own models which may involve data usage defined in their policies).

5. Data Storage and Security

  • (a) Submitted Text: We do not permanently store the text you submit for correction on our servers after the correction process is complete.
  • (b) Usage Data & Ad Data: Server logs may be kept for limited periods. Data collected by advertising partners is stored according to their policies.
  • (c) Security Measures: We implement reasonable security measures, including handling the Google API key server-side. However, no system is 100% secure.

6. Cookies and Your Choices Regarding Advertising

  • (a) What are Cookies: Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Our Site uses:
    • Essential Cookies: Necessary for the basic functioning of the website (e.g., based on WordPress/Astra).
    • Analytics Cookies (Optional): May be used by plugins like Rank Math or basic server analytics to understand site usage (often anonymized).
    • Advertising Cookies: Placed by us or our advertising partners (like Monetag) to track your activity across websites, build a profile of your interests, and show you relevant advertisements on our Site and potentially elsewhere.
  • (b) Your Consent (Especially EU/EEA Users): If you are in the European Union or European Economic Area, we are required to obtain your informed consent before placing non-essential cookies (including advertising and analytics cookies) on your device. You will typically be asked for this consent via a banner or pop-up when you first visit Grammareye.com.
  • (c) Managing Cookies & Opting Out of Personalized Advertising:
    • Cookie Consent Tool: You can usually manage your preferences for non-essential cookies through the cookie consent banner/tool provided on our Site (if implemented).
    • Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality.
    • Advertising Opt-Outs: You can opt out of personalized advertising from many third-party ad networks, including potentially Monetag and Google (if used). Resources include:
    • Opting out does not mean you will no longer see advertising; it means the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.

7. Your Data Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including access, correction, deletion, or objecting to processing.

  • Requests regarding the text submitted for correction may not be applicable post-session as we don’t store it.
  • Rights related to advertising data or cookies should often be exercised via the opt-out mechanisms described in Section 6 or directly with the advertising partners according to their policies.
  • For other concerns, contact us using the details below.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not intended for children under 13 (or relevant age). We do not knowingly collect their personal information.

9. Links to Other Websites

Our Site (and the ads displayed) may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy. Changes are effective when posted here with an updated “Effective Date”. Please review periodically.
