Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026

1. Who we are

Yaqgu (yaqgu.com) is an independent project run by its founder, based in India. Contact: [email protected].

2. Your content stays on your device

When you paste text or drop a file into a tool, the work happens inside your browser. Your content is not uploaded to our servers or to anyone else by the tool. You can check this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, go to the Network tab, and use the tool.

Once you copy the result and paste it into another service (such as an AI chatbot), that service's own privacy policy applies. We have no control over it.

3. What is stored in your browser

• Placeholder list (which placeholder stands for which real value): kept in your browser's session storage (or extension session storage) for the active session, so answers can be restored. It is removed when you close the browser session or choose "Forget everything" / "Forget all".
• "Also hide" words you type: kept in your browser's local storage (or extension local storage) so they are remembered next time. Clear your browser's site/extension data to remove them.
• The detection model (about 50 MB): cached in your browser so it does not download again.

None of this is sent to us. We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising.

4. What our hosting provider sees

The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any website host, Cloudflare processes technical data needed to deliver pages and protect the site, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. We do not use this to identify you. See Cloudflare's privacy policy for details.

Visit counting. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count how many people visit the site and which pages they open, so we know whether our tools are used. It loads a small script from Cloudflare on our pages. It does not use cookies, does not track you across websites, and does not build a profile of you. It records page-level information such as the page opened, country, browser type and how fast the page loaded. It never receives the text or files you put into a tool. You can block it with a browser extension or your browser's tracking protection, and the tools will work the same.

5. Fonts

Pages load fonts from Google Fonts. If you are not signed in, pages also load Google’s sign-in script to offer a one-tap “Sign in with Google” card; it appears at most once per visit and stays away for days after you close it, and Google learns that you visited the page. Nothing you type into a tool is ever sent to it. Your browser contacts Google to fetch them, which shares your IP address with Google. No content from the tools is included.

6. Email

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write, and use it only to reply. Please do not send sensitive personal data by email.

7. What we do not do

• No accounts or sign-ups for the free tools. Yaqgu Pro uses a Google or Microsoft sign-in only to find your subscription (section 11).
• No advertising, no cross-site tracking and no cookies for tracking. The only analytics is Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies (see section 4).
• No selling or sharing of personal data.
• No use of your content to train any model.

8. Children

The site is not aimed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

9. Your rights

Because we do not hold your content, there is usually nothing for us to show, correct or delete. If you emailed us and want that correspondence deleted, write to [email protected].

10. Security and accuracy

Keeping content on your device removes most risks, but no software is perfect. The tools can miss private details. Always review results before sharing them. See the Terms of Use.

11. Purchases and sign-in

If you subscribe to Yaqgu Pro, the payment is taken by our payment partner, which acts as the seller. It collects your name, email, country and payment details under its own privacy policy. We do not see or store your card details. We receive from it your order details, your subscription status and your email address. We turn the email address into a one-way code (a hash) and keep only that code, together with the subscription status, so that you can turn Pro on and we can keep it running while you are subscribed. We do not keep the email address itself, and we do not sell this information.

Signing in with Google or Microsoft. You can turn Yaqgu Pro on by signing in. You are sent to Google or Microsoft, which tell us your verified email address and your basic profile (name and, for Google, the address of your profile photo). We ask only for the openid, email and profile permissions, so never your contacts, files or password. We turn the email address into the same one-way code and match it to your subscription. Your first name and photo address are passed straight on to your browser, which keeps them (with your email address) only so the site can show that you are signed in; our server does not store them. Your browser loads the photo from Google. “Sign out” in the menu bar removes all of it from your browser. Google or Microsoft learn that you signed in to Yaqgu, under their own privacy policies. Microsoft sign-in works with personal Microsoft accounts only. Your browser keeps a licence token and a renewal credential for each device you sign in on; we keep only a one-way code of the renewal credential, together with a random device identifier. Nothing you put into a tool is ever part of this.

Managing your subscription. When you choose “Update payment method” or “Cancel subscription” in the menu bar, we ask Paddle for its secure page for your subscription and open it. Nothing else is shared.

The checkout is run by our payment partner, Paddle. Its script (from Paddle’s servers) is loaded on the Pricing page, to show the price for your country, and on the checkout pages. It is never loaded in the tools. When you check out, your signed-in email is filled in and a signed proof of that sign-in is sent to Paddle as order information, so the subscription is tied to you. Paddle may set cookies or use device information to take the payment and prevent fraud, under its own privacy policy. Right after you pay, the page after payment sends the payment’s reference number to our licence server to fetch your backup key, once.

12. Feedback form

A small "Feedback" button on our pages lets you send us a message. If you use it, we store the text you type, the email address only if you choose to add one, the page you were on, your country (from Cloudflare) and the time. We do not store your IP address. We use it only to improve the site and tools, and to reply if you left an email. Messages are deleted automatically after 90 days. To have yours deleted sooner, email [email protected]. To limit spam, the form uses a hidden field, a short timer and limits on how often it can be used, and it does not use a third-party tracking or captcha service. Please do not put private or sensitive information in your message.

13. Changes

If we change how things work, we will update this page and the date at the top.
