Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how morsecodeworld.org ("https://morsecodeworld.org") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or use our Morse code translator tools. This site uses Google AdSense (publisher ID ca-pub-7227917768990151) to show third-party ads. When ads are served, Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies on your device, as described in sections 2 and 3 below.
1. Information We Collect
We do not require you to create an account, log in, or provide any personal information to use our tools. All translation, encoding, and audio playback happen directly in your browser — no text you type is sent to our servers.
We may automatically collect limited technical data through our hosting provider (Vercel) and analytics services, including:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referring URL and pages visited
- Approximate geographic location (country/region, derived from IP)
- Date and time of your visit
This information is used only in aggregate to understand how the site is used and to improve performance.
2. Cookies and Tracking
When you visit pages that display advertisements, Google AdSense and its advertising partners may place advertising cookies and cross-site tracking cookies on your browser or device. These technologies are used to serve ads, show relevant ads based on your browsing history, limit how often you see the same ad, and measure ad performance. We do not operate our own ad network; ad-related cookies are set by Google and its partners. See section 3 for full details and opt-out options.
We use Vercel Analytics for privacy-friendly, aggregated site measurements. These analytics do not build individual user profiles for our own purposes.
Your browser may also store certain preferences (such as dark/light mode) in local storage. That data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers.
3. Google AdSense and Advertising
This site uses Google AdSense to display third-party advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. These cookies help serve ads, limit how often you see the same ad, and measure ad performance.
You can learn how Google collects and uses data in advertising at Google's Advertising Privacy Policy. For broader information about how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
4. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy practices:
- Google AdSense — advertising. See Google's Advertising Privacy Policy.
- Vercel — hosting and edge network. See Vercel Privacy Policy.
- Google Fonts — web fonts served from our domain. See Google Privacy Policy.
- Google Gemini API— used only for the Morse picture translator feature (image → Morse text). Images you upload are sent to Google's API solely to extract Morse code and are not stored by us. See Google Privacy Policy.
5. Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
6. Data Retention
We do not store the text you type in our translator tools on our servers. Server access logs maintained by Vercel are subject to their own data retention policy. Data collected through Google AdSense and other third-party services is retained according to each provider's policies.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data. We do not directly collect account or contact information when you use our tools, but third-party providers such as Google AdSense may process data for advertising purposes. For questions about that processing, refer to Google's Advertising Privacy Policy and the other third-party policies linked in section 4.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
