Privacy policy

The short version

Rewrite This has no user accounts and no database of messages. The messages you paste are processed to generate your rewrite and are not stored by us. We don't use advertising trackers, and we don't sell data to anyone.

The messages you paste

When you click “Rewrite this,” your message is sent over an encrypted connection to our server, which forwards it to Anthropic (our AI provider) to generate the rewrite. We do not save your messages - there is no database on our side to save them in. Anthropic processes API data to provide the service and does not use it to train its models. Don't paste things that shouldn't leave your organization at all, like credentials or regulated data.

Anonymous usage metadata

So we can understand how the tool is used and improve it, we log a few non-identifying details about each rewrite: which tone was chosen, which page it came from, and the character length of the text in and out. We never log the message itself, and we never log your IP address. These are aggregate numbers about usage, not records of what anyone wrote.

The daily usage counter

Your free-rewrite counter lives in your own browser's localStorage. It never leaves your device, and clearing your browser data resets it. We use it only to enforce the daily free limit.

Your email address

If you choose to enter your email to unlock extra rewrites, it is stored by Netlify Forms (our hosting provider's form service). We use it to understand who finds the tool useful and, occasionally, to tell you about meaningful updates. We never sell or share it, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

Pro plan and payments

If you buy Pro, payment is handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. Stripe keeps your email and subscription so it can bill you and let you cancel. To remember that you are on Pro without an account, we set one cookie in your browser holding a signed code that points to your Stripe customer record. It is used only to unlock Pro.

The optional “Sound like me” writing sample and standing instruction are saved in your own browser's localStorage. They are sent along with each rewrite so the AI can match your style, and like your messages, they are not stored on our side.

Tone Memory learns your writing style from how you use the rewriter. Your recent drafts and the rewrites you copy are kept in your own browser's localStorage, and every few rewrites they are sent to our AI provider to be summarized into a short list of style traits (for example “Signs off with Thanks,”). For Pro members, only that list of traits and a message count is saved to their account so the same tone works on every device. No message text is stored on our side. You can edit, switch off or reset your tone at any time.

Analytics

We use privacy-friendly analytics to count page views and understand which pages help people. We may also use Microsoft Clarity, which uses cookies to show us anonymised heatmaps and how visitors arrive from search and AI assistants. This gives us aggregate patterns, not profiles of individual visitors, and Clarity is configured not to capture what you type into the rewriter. We don't use advertising trackers.

Hosting

The site is hosted on Netlify, which - like any web host - processes standard server logs (IP addresses, request times) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. We also apply a rate limit by IP address to prevent abuse of the rewriter; those counters are held briefly in memory and are not stored permanently.

Changes to this policy

If we change how the site handles data - for example, if we ever add accounts - we'll update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect.
