Privacy Policy

The Article Files is built around a simple principle: your work is your business. Most of our tools run entirely in your browser, which means the text and data you enter never leave your device.

What we process locally

Tools like the Word Counter, Readability Checker, calculators, and generators perform their calculations in JavaScript on your device. We do not transmit, store, or see this data.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to The Sunday File, we collect only your email address to deliver the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email. We do not sell or share your address.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which tools are useful and how the site performs. This is aggregate usage data — not the content you type into tools.

Advertising

The Article Files is supported by advertising, which is what allows every tool on this site to stay free and free of sign-up walls. We use Google AdSense to serve those ads.

Google is a third-party vendor and uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may also use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view on this site, and the approximate location derived from your IP address. This information is used to select and measure ads. We do not receive or store this information ourselves, and we never share the text or data you enter into our tools with any advertiser — that data never leaves your browser in the first place.

Your advertising choices

• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info.
• More detail on how Google uses data is available in Google's partner sites policy.
• You can reject advertising cookies on this site at any time using the consent banner. Clearing your browser storage for this site will make the banner appear again so you can change your choice.

Cookies

We use two kinds of cookies and similar storage. First, a small amount of local storage that remembers your advertising consent choice so we do not ask you on every page. Second, advertising cookies set by Google and its partners as described above, which are only used once you accept them.

The tools themselves set no cookies. Your text, numbers, and calculations stay on your device regardless of what you choose here.

Visitors from the EEA, UK and Switzerland

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before any advertising or analytics cookies are set, and personalised advertising remains off until you agree. You may withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold — in practice that is limited to your newsletter email address, if you subscribed.

Children

This site is intended for a professional audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when our practices change, and we will change the “last updated” date above when we do.
