Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. Learn how we protect your information when using our MLA Format Header Generator

Last Updated: September 24, 2025

1. Introduction and Overview

At MLA Format Header Generator, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of any information you provide while using our Service. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our MLA Format Header Generator tool and website.

Our fundamental approach to privacy is built on the principle of data minimization and local processing. Unlike many online tools, our MLA Format Header Generator processes your information directly in your web browser without transmitting personal data to our servers. This approach ensures maximum privacy protection while providing the formatting assistance you need for your academic work.

By using our Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our privacy practices, please do not use our Service. We encourage you to read this policy carefully to understand how we protect your information and what rights you have regarding your privacy.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Our MLA Format Header Generator is specifically designed to protect your privacy by NOT collecting or storing the personal information you enter into the tool. When you input your name, instructor's name, course information, paper title, or any other details into our generator, this information is processed locally in your web browser and is never transmitted to our servers.

We do not collect, store, or have access to the academic information you enter, including student names, instructor names, course details, paper titles, or any other content you input into the generator. This information remains on your device and is automatically cleared when you close your browser or navigate away from our website.

We do not require user accounts, registration, or login credentials to use our Service. You can access and use the MLA Format Header Generator completely anonymously without providing any identifying information beyond what you choose to include in your headers.

3. Information We May Collect

While we don't collect the personal information you enter into our generator, we may collect limited, anonymous technical information to help us improve our Service and ensure it functions properly across different devices and browsers. This technical information is collected automatically and does not identify you personally.

We may collect anonymous usage statistics such as the number of visitors to our website, which pages are viewed most frequently, how long users spend on our site, and which features of the generator are used most often. This information helps us understand how our Service is being used and identify areas for improvement.

Technical information we may collect includes browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, and general location information (country or region level only). This data is used solely to optimize our Service for different technical environments and is not linked to any personal identifiers.

4. How We Use Information

Any information we collect is used exclusively to improve and maintain our MLA Format Header Generator Service. We use anonymous usage data to understand user behavior patterns, identify technical issues, and optimize our website's performance across different devices and browsers.

Technical information helps us ensure our Service works properly for all users by identifying compatibility issues with specific browsers or devices. This data also helps us prioritize feature development and improvements based on actual usage patterns and user needs.

We may use aggregated, anonymous data to create general statistics about our Service usage, such as the total number of headers generated or the most popular export formats. These statistics help us communicate the value and reach of our Service but never include any personally identifiable information.

5. Data Security and Protection

Security is a fundamental aspect of our privacy protection approach. By processing all personal information locally in your browser, we eliminate the primary security risks associated with data transmission and server-side storage. Your personal information never leaves your device when using our generator.

Our website uses industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption for all communications between your browser and our servers. This encryption protects any technical data that is transmitted and ensures the integrity of our Service delivery.

We regularly update our security practices and monitor our systems for potential vulnerabilities. However, users are responsible for maintaining the security of their own devices and internet connections when accessing any online service, including ours.

6. Third-Party Services and Links

Our MLA Format Header Generator may include links to external resources, educational materials, or third-party websites that provide additional information about MLA formatting. These external sites have their own privacy policies and practices that are independent of our Service.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites linked from our Service. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites they visit through links on our website to understand how those sites collect and use information.

Our Service may use third-party libraries or content delivery networks to provide certain functionality or improve performance. These services are selected based on their privacy practices and security standards, and they do not have access to the personal information you enter into our generator.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use minimal cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience and maintain basic functionality. These cookies do not store any personal information you enter into the generator and are used only for technical purposes such as maintaining your preferences or ensuring proper website functionality.

We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes or to build profiles of user behavior. Any cookies we use are strictly functional and designed to improve your experience with our Service without compromising your privacy.

Users can control cookie settings through their browser preferences and can choose to disable cookies entirely. However, disabling cookies may affect some features of our website, such as remembering your form inputs for convenience during your current session.

8. Children's Privacy Protection

Our MLA Format Header Generator is designed to be safe for users of all ages, including students under 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age, and our local processing approach ensures that no personal information is transmitted or stored regardless of the user's age.

Parents and educators can feel confident that students can use our Service without privacy concerns. The tool's design ensures that student information remains private and secure while providing the academic formatting assistance they need.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take immediate steps to delete that information. Parents who have concerns about their child's use of our Service are encouraged to contact us at [email protected].

9. International Users and Data Transfers

Our MLA Format Header Generator is available to users worldwide and is designed to protect privacy regardless of geographic location. Since personal information is processed locally in your browser, there are no international data transfers of your personal information when using our generator.

Users from different countries and regions can use our Service with confidence that their personal information remains on their local device and is not subject to international data transfer regulations or concerns.

Any technical information we collect is handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws and regulations. We are committed to meeting international privacy standards and protecting user rights regardless of location.

10. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Because we don't collect or store the personal information you enter into our MLA Format Header Generator, there is no personal data for you to access, correct, or delete from our systems. Your information remains under your complete control on your own device.

You have the right to use our Service anonymously without providing any identifying information beyond what you choose to include in your generated headers. You can clear your browser data at any time to remove any locally stored information.

If you have concerns about any aspect of our privacy practices or want to exercise any privacy rights that may apply to the limited technical data we collect, please contact us at [email protected]. We are committed to addressing privacy concerns promptly and transparently.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of the policy.

Significant changes to our privacy practices will be communicated through our website, and we encourage users to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect their privacy. Continued use of our Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated privacy policy.

We are committed to maintaining strong privacy protections and will not make changes that significantly reduce your privacy rights without clear notification and explanation of the reasons for such changes.

12. Contact Information and Questions

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us at [email protected]. We are committed to addressing privacy inquiries promptly and transparently.

We welcome feedback about our privacy practices and are always looking for ways to improve our protection of user privacy while maintaining the functionality and usefulness of our MLA Format Header Generator Service.
