Privacy policy
Who we are
Letterstroke (letterstroke.com) is a free website that turns Arabic and Malayalam words into handwriting animations. You can reach us at [email protected].
What we collect
When you visit a page or generate a word, we record:
- what happened (a visit or a word generated) and when;
- the word and its language, or the page visited;
- a fingerprint of your IP address made with a secret key — it lets us count how many words one visitor makes, but cannot be turned back into your address;
- a shortened IP address (for example 94.200.x.x), which identifies a network, not a person;
- your country, as reported by our network provider (Cloudflare);
- your browser and operating system type (for example “Chrome · Android”).
We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, passwords or payment details from visitors, and we do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
Why we collect it
- To understand which words and languages are used, so we can improve the site.
- To keep the site reliable and to limit abuse (for example, automated flooding).
Stored on your own device
Your chosen animation speed is saved in your browser's local storage so it is remembered next time. The animations are created in your browser. You can clear this at any time in your browser settings.
Cookies
Visitors receive no cookies from Letterstroke. A single sign-in cookie is used only by the site's administrators.
Children
Letterstroke is made for learners of all ages, including children. It has no accounts and asks for no personal information. If you are a parent and have a concern, contact us and we will help.
Services we rely on
- Hosting — our web server, which runs the site and stores the usage records described above.
- Cloudflare — delivers the site securely and quickly, and reports the visitor's country.
- Google Fonts — supplies the site's interface font; your browser requests it from Google. The Arabic and Malayalam letter fonts are served by Letterstroke itself.
How long we keep it
Usage records are deleted automatically after 24 months.
Your choices
Because we do not store names, emails or IP addresses, we usually cannot link records to a particular person. If you would like us to look into or remove records, write to [email protected] and we will do our best to help.
Changes
If we add features that change what we collect — for example accounts, payments or advertising — we will update this page first and change the date above. See also our terms of use.
