Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 15, 2026
The short version
- What you type on Keyglobe never leaves your browser. We cannot see it.
- We have no accounts and no database of users.
- Our hosting provider keeps short-lived technical logs (such as IP addresses) to run and protect the site.
- If ads are shown, Google may use cookies. Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent first, and you can always opt out.
- Everyone gets the same privacy rights, wherever they live.
This policy explains how Keyglobe ("we", "us") handles personal information when you use this website. It is written to meet the Personal Information Protection Act of Korea (PIPA), the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the privacy laws of other countries where our visitors live. Region-specific information is in section 12.
1. Who is responsible
Keyglobe is run by [Your full name], an individual based in the Republic of Korea, who is the controller (personal information handler) responsible for your information.
Contact: see the Contact page
2. What we process, why, and for how long
| Information | Purpose | Legal basis | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Text you type into keyboards and tools | Not collected. It is processed only inside your browser and never sent to us. | ||
| Text, theme, text size and keyboard settings saved in your browser (local storage) | Not collected. Stored only on your device so your work is there next time. Delete it with the Clear button or by clearing this site's data in your browser. | ||
| Server access logs: IP address, browser and operating system, page requested, referring page, date and time | Delivering the site, preventing abuse and attacks, fixing errors | Necessary to provide the service you request (PIPA Art. 15(1)(4)); legitimate interests in running a secure website (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) | [30] days, then automatically deleted (longer only while investigating a specific security incident) |
| Messages you send us: your email address, name if you give it, and the content of your message | Answering your question or request | Your request (PIPA Art. 15(1)(4)); legitimate interests in replying (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) | 1 year after your inquiry is resolved, then deleted |
| Advertising cookies and identifiers set by Google (see section 5) | Showing and measuring ads that keep the site free | Your consent where the law requires it, including the EEA, UK and Switzerland (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)); otherwise legitimate interests, and you can opt out at any time | Set by Google; see Google's policies |
We do not collect sensitive information (such as health, beliefs or biometrics), and we do not ask for your name, phone number or address to use the site.
3. Where the information comes from
Logs and cookie identifiers are collected automatically when your browser loads the site. Messages come directly from you when you email us.
4. Who receives it
- Service providers that process information on our behalf (entrusted processing): our hosting provider, which stores the server logs, and our email provider, which stores messages you send us. They may use the information only to provide their service to us. Details are in section 6.
- Google, if ads are shown. Google collects information through its own cookies and acts as an independent controller under its own privacy policy (see section 5).
- Authorities, only when we are legally required to disclose information, for example by a court order.
We do not sell personal information for money, and we do not give it to anyone else for their own purposes. When you click the Google Search or Translate button, the text you selected is sent to Google in a new tab. That happens only because you clicked, and Google's privacy policy applies from then on.
5. Cookies, local storage and advertising
Our own site sets no cookies. It uses your browser's local storage only for the features described in section 2. That data is never sent to us or anyone else, and the site does not need your consent to use it.
Advertising. To keep the site free, we may show ads served by Google AdSense:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- Information Google may collect includes cookie identifiers, IP address, device and browser information, the pages you visit and how you interact with ads. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Your choices. Refusing advertising cookies does not stop you from using any part of the site. You will still see ads, but they won't be personalized.
- Consent message: visitors from the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and other places where the law requires it see a consent message before any advertising cookies are used. You can change your choice at any time with the privacy settings link that the message adds to the page.
- Google: turn off personalized ads in Google Ads Settings.
- Industry opt-outs: aboutads.info (United States), youradchoices.ca (Canada) and youronlinechoices.eu (Europe).
- Your browser: block or delete cookies in your browser settings. In Chrome, go to Settings › Privacy and security › Third-party cookies. In Safari, go to Settings › Privacy › Prevent cross-site tracking. In Firefox, go to Settings › Privacy & Security › Enhanced Tracking Protection. In Edge, go to Settings › Cookies and site permissions.
6. Service providers and international transfers
Our servers are located in the United States and in [country of the Asian server], so your information may be transferred to and stored in countries other than your own, including outside Korea.
| Recipient (contact) | Countries | Information | When and how | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Hosting provider name] ([privacy contact email]) | United States, [country of the Asian server] | Server access logs (section 2) | Each time you visit, sent over an encrypted network connection | Hosting and delivering the site, security (entrusted processing and storage) | [30] days |
| [Email provider name] ([privacy contact email]) | [Country] | Your email address, name and message | When you email us, sent over an encrypted network connection | Receiving and storing your messages so we can reply (entrusted processing and storage) | 1 year after your inquiry is resolved |
| Google LLC (privacy contact form) | United States and other countries where Google operates | Cookie identifiers, IP address, device and browser information, pages viewed, ad interactions | When a page with ads loads, collected directly by Google | Advertising (Google acts as an independent controller) | According to Google's privacy policy |
- Legal basis under PIPA: transfers to our hosting and email providers rely on Article 28-8(1)(3), entrusted processing and storage needed to provide the service, disclosed in this policy. Advertising cookies rely on your choices described in section 5.
- Legal basis under the GDPR and UK GDPR: the European Commission and the UK have recognized the Republic of Korea as providing an adequate level of protection. Transfers to the United States rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (and its UK and Swiss extensions) where the recipient is certified, or otherwise on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
- How to refuse, and what happens if you do: the hosting transfer is needed to deliver the site, so if you do not agree to it, please do not use the site. If you do not want your message stored by our email provider, please do not email us. To refuse advertising cookies, see section 5. Refusing them does not limit your use of the site.
7. How information is deleted
When the retention periods in section 2 end, or as soon as the purpose has been achieved, we delete the information without delay. Server logs are deleted automatically by the hosting provider's retention settings. Emails are permanently deleted from the mailbox, including the trash. We keep no paper records. If a law requires us to keep any information longer, we store it separately and only for that period.
8. How we protect information
- Data minimization: the site has no accounts and no user database, and what you type never leaves your device.
- Encryption: all connections to the site use HTTPS (TLS encryption).
- Access control: only the operator can access the hosting and email accounts. They are protected with strong, unique passwords and two-factor authentication.
- Short retention: logs are deleted automatically after the period in section 2.
- Maintenance: we keep the site's code and accounts up to date and review access regularly.
9. Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to:
- tell you whether we process information about you, and give you a copy (access and portability);
- correct information that is wrong;
- delete your information;
- stop or restrict processing, or object to it, including processing based on legitimate interests;
- withdraw consent you have given (this does not affect processing that took place before you withdrew).
To make a request, email us (see the Contact page). Because we hold so little information, we may ask for details that help us find it, such as the date and approximate time of your visit, or the email address you wrote from. We use these details only to handle your request. We will respond within 10 days, and always within the period your local law requires. Requests are free. A legal representative or an authorized agent may make a request on your behalf, and we may ask for proof of that authority. We will never treat you differently for using these rights.
10. Children
The site is not directed at children under 14 (the age that applies in Korea), under 13 in the United States, or under the age of digital consent in your country (up to 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
11. Automated decisions
We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that have legal or similarly significant effects. Google's ad selection is described in section 5, and you can turn off personalization there.
