Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 4, 2025

At pass256, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our password generation service. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

Information Collection

We collect information in the following ways:

Information You Provide

Our password generator tool operates entirely in your browser. When you use our basic password generation service, we do not collect, store, or transmit the passwords you generate. They remain on your device and are never sent to our servers.

Automatically Collected Information

When you access our website, we may automatically collect certain information about your device, including:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Time and date of your visit
  • Pages you view
  • Time spent on those pages

This information helps us analyze user behavior and improve our service but is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

Usage Policies

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

  • To provide and maintain our service
  • To notify you about changes to our service
  • To allow you to participate in interactive features when you choose to do so
  • To provide customer support
  • To gather analysis or valuable information so that we can improve our service
  • To monitor the usage of our service
  • To detect, prevent and address technical issues

We do not use your data for targeted advertising or sell it to third parties for marketing purposes.

Data Security Measures

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Our security measures include:

  • Client-side password generation (passwords are created in your browser, not on our servers)
  • SSL/TLS encryption for all web traffic
  • Regular security audits and updates
  • Limited access to personal information by our staff
  • Employee training on privacy and security practices

For maximum security, we recommend copying your generated passwords directly to your password manager and avoiding storing them in plain text or sharing them via email or messaging services.

Third-Party Sharing

We may share your information with third parties in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our service, provide the service on our behalf, perform service-related services, or assist us in analyzing how our service is used. These third parties have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
  • Analytics: We use analytics providers such as Google Analytics to help us understand how users engage with our website. They may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of our website and other websites.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
