Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 8, 2026
Introduction
ClarDense AI ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website and use our summarization service. By using our website, you agree to the terms described in this policy.
We do not collect, store, or sell any personally identifiable information (PII). We do not require account registration or login.
Information We Collect
Usage Data
When you use our website, our servers automatically record certain technical information, including your IP address (used only for rate-limiting to prevent abuse), the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, and your browser type. This information is stored temporarily in memory and is not persisted to any database.
Text You Submit
When you paste text into the summarizer and submit it, that text is sent to our backend server and then to the DeepSeek AI API to generate a summary. We do not store the text you submit after your request is complete. Summaries may be cached temporarily in server memory to improve performance, but this cache is cleared on server restart and is never written to disk or a database.
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies:
- Theme preference: We store your light/dark theme preference in your browser's localStorage. This data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers.
- Google AdSense cookies: Our website displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites. See below for details.
Google AdSense and the DoubleClick DART Cookie
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to users based on their visit to our website and other sites on the internet.
The Google DART cookie is used to serve ads based on a user's interest and previous interactions. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Google AdSense may also use web beacons (small pixel images) to collect information about your visit. This information is used by Google to measure the performance of advertisements.
Third-Party Vendors
Our website uses the following third-party services:
- DeepSeek API: Text you submit is processed by DeepSeek's API to generate summaries. Please review DeepSeek's privacy policy at their official website.
- Google AdSense: Advertising cookies and data collection as described above. Google's privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
- Google Fonts: Font files are loaded from Google's CDN. Google may collect basic request data (IP, browser) as part of serving font files.
We have no control over the cookies used by third-party advertisers. These third-party vendors have their own privacy policies governing their use of information.
Your Rights and Opt-Out Options
You have several options to control how your data is used for advertising:
- Opt out of personalised ads: Visit Google Ad Settings to opt out of personalised advertising from Google.

Children's Privacy
Our website is 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 personal information through our service, please contact us and we will take steps to remove that information.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information processed by our service. Text submitted for summarization is transmitted over HTTPS and is not stored after your request is fulfilled. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
