Privacy Policy
Contents
1. Who We Are
This Privacy Policy applies to HandwritingRepeater.org (referred to as "we", "us" or "our"), a free online handwriting practice tool owned and operated by Dhiraj, a front-end developer and digital marketing specialist based in the United Kingdom.
If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, you can reach us at contactmu97@gmail.com.
2. What Data We Collect
Handwriting Repeater does not require registration or login. You can use the tool fully without providing any personal information. Here is what we do and do not collect:
What we do NOT collect
- Your name, email address or any contact details (unless you choose to contact us)
- The text you type into the handwriting canvas — this runs entirely inside your browser and is never sent to our servers
- Payment information — the tool is free and has no paid features
- Location data beyond country-level anonymised analytics
What we do collect (anonymised)
Via Google Analytics, we collect anonymised, aggregated usage data including:
- Browser type and version
- Device type (desktop, tablet, mobile)
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Country of origin (not specific location)
- Referring website or search engine
This data cannot be used to identify you personally. It helps us understand how the tool is being used so we can improve it.
Data you voluntarily provide
If you contact us via email or the contact form, we will receive your name, email address and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to your enquiry and do not add you to any mailing list.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use the data we collect for the following purposes:
- To understand how visitors use the site and which features are most useful
- To identify and fix technical issues
- To improve the tool, design and content based on real usage patterns
- To display relevant adverts through Google AdSense
- To respond to messages and enquiries sent to us directly
4. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We use the following types of cookies on HandwritingRepeater.org:
Essential cookies
These are required for the site to function correctly. They store preferences such as your cookie consent choice, your dark mode setting, and whether you have dismissed the notification bar. These cannot be disabled without affecting the tool's functionality.
Analytics cookies (Google Analytics)
If you accept cookies, we use Google Analytics cookies to collect anonymised data about how you use the site. These are only set after you give your consent via our cookie banner.
Advertising cookies (Google AdSense)
Google AdSense may set cookies to deliver and measure personalised adverts. These are only active if you have consented to non-essential cookies.
Managing cookies
You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking "Privacy Policy" in the footer, which will reopen the cookie consent banner. You can also disable cookies entirely through your browser settings — instructions for the most common browsers:
5. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics (provided by Google LLC) to analyse traffic and usage patterns on HandwritingRepeater.org. Google Analytics collects anonymised data such as the pages you visit, how long you spend on them, and which country you are browsing from.
We have enabled IP anonymisation, which means your full IP address is never stored by Google Analytics. Data is processed in accordance with Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
HandwritingRepeater.org displays adverts served by Google AdSense. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve adverts that are relevant to your interests, based on your previous visits to this and other websites.
Google uses the DoubleClick cookie and other technologies to:
- Serve personalised adverts based on your browsing history
- Measure how often adverts are shown and whether they are clicked
- Prevent the same advert from being shown too many times
We do not have access to or control over the cookies used by Google AdSense. For more information on how Google uses data when you use our site, visit: How Google uses data from sites that use Google services.
To opt out of personalised advertising from Google, visit: google.com/settings/ads. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies via the Your Online Choices website (UK).
7. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the data we hold. HandwritingRepeater.org is served over HTTPS, meaning all traffic between your browser and our server is encrypted.
As noted above, the text you type into the handwriting canvas is never transmitted to our servers at all — it exists only in your browser's memory and is deleted when you close the tab. This means there is no risk of that data being intercepted or breached.
No method of internet transmission is 100% secure. While we do our best to protect any data we do hold (for example, contact form submissions), we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
You can ask us to correct any inaccurate data we hold.
You can ask us to delete your personal data where there is no legitimate reason to keep it.
You can ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
You can request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
You can object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contactmu97@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) — the UK's independent data protection authority.
9. Children's Privacy
Handwriting Repeater is used by children as part of their school work and home learning. We take children's privacy seriously.
The tool does not require children to create an account, provide a name, email address, or any other personal information. The text typed into the canvas is never transmitted to our servers. Children can use the tool completely anonymously.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information (for example, through the contact form), please contact us at contactmu97@gmail.com and we will delete it promptly.
Parents and guardians who have concerns about their child's use of this site are welcome to contact us at any time.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any external websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, our data practices, or the features of the site. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
