Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 5, 2025

At Writenex, we believe your writing is yours and yours alone. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data - which is simple: we do not collect it.

The Short Version

  • We do not collect your data. Your documents never leave your device.
  • We do not use analytics or tracking. No Google Analytics, no cookies for tracking.
  • We do not require an account. No email, no password, no personal information needed.
  • Your content stays local. Everything is stored in your browser using IndexedDB.

Data Storage

What We Store Locally

Writenex stores the following data in your browser's local storage (IndexedDB):

  • Documents: Your Markdown documents and their content
  • Version History: Previous versions of your documents for recovery
  • Images: Any images you insert into your documents (stored as base64)
  • Preferences: Theme setting (light/dark/system), view mode, and other UI preferences

This data is stored entirely on your device. We have no access to it, and it is never transmitted to any server.

How to Delete Your Data

Since all data is stored locally, you have full control:

  • Individual documents: Use the delete option in the document tabs menu
  • All data: Clear your browser's site data for writenex.com, or uninstall the PWA

No Tracking or Analytics

We do not use:

  • Google Analytics or any analytics service
  • Tracking pixels or beacons
  • Third-party cookies
  • Fingerprinting or any identification technology

Service Worker and Offline Usage

Writenex uses a Service Worker to enable offline functionality. The Service Worker:

  • Caches application assets (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, fonts)
  • Enables the app to work without an internet connection
  • Does not collect or transmit any user data

Third-Party Services

Writenex is hosted on a server that may log standard web server access logs (IP addresses, timestamps, pages visited). These logs are used solely for server maintenance and security purposes and are not used for tracking individual users.

We do not integrate with any third-party services that collect user data.

Data Security

Your data security is ensured by the browser's built-in security mechanisms:

  • IndexedDB data is sandboxed and only accessible by writenex.com
  • HTTPS encryption protects data in transit when loading the application
  • No server-side database means no server-side breach risk

Important: Since data is stored locally, you are responsible for backing up important documents by exporting them. Clearing browser data or reinstalling will delete your local data.

Children's Privacy

Writenex does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13. Since we do not collect personal information, there is no age-related data concern.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Since we do not collect email addresses, we cannot notify you directly of changes.

This Privacy Policy is effective as of December 5, 2025.
