Privacy Policy — Random Topic Generator

This Privacy Policy explains how Random Topic Generator (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit randomtopicgenerator.com (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Who we are

Random Topic Generator is a free web tool that generates random topics for speaking and articulation practice. You can use the core tool anonymously, without creating an account.

2. Information we collect

Usage and device data. When you visit the Service we automatically receive standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, and the pages and features you interact with.
Local storage. We store small preferences (such as your chosen language, theme, and sound setting) in your browser’s local storage so the Service remembers them. This data stays on your device.
Account data (optional). If we offer accounts and you choose to create one, we collect the information needed to provide that feature, such as your email address and any practice notes or history you save.
Communications. If you email us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.

We do not knowingly collect or sell sensitive personal information, and we do not record your microphone or audio.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) to operate the Service, remember your preferences, measure traffic, and—where applicable—serve and personalize advertising. For more detail, see our Cookie Policy. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect how the Service works.

4. Analytics

We use privacy-conscious analytics providers, including Vercel Web Analytics and PostHog, to understand how the Service is used and to improve it. These providers process aggregated and pseudonymous usage data on our behalf.

5. Advertising

We may display advertising provided by third-party vendors, including Google. These partners use cookies and device identifiers to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our Service. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to our Service and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
You can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.eu.

Third-party vendors’ use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies, including Google’s policies.

6. How we use information

To provide, maintain, and improve the Service;
To remember your preferences and settings;
To measure and analyze traffic and performance;
To display and, where applicable, personalize advertising;
To respond to your messages and provide support;
To detect, prevent, and address security issues, fraud, or abuse;
To comply with legal obligations.

7. Legal bases (EEA/UK)

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal data on the basis of your consent (for non-essential cookies and advertising), our legitimate interests (to operate and improve the Service and keep it secure), and compliance with legal obligations.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. If you are in California, you may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, and opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell personal information for money. To exercise any right, contact us at contact@random-topic-generator.com.

9. Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Aggregated or anonymized data may be retained longer.

10. International transfers

We and our service providers may process and store information in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

11. Children’s privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

12. Third-party links

The Service may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
