Privacy policy

Last updated: 8 October 2026

Handwriting A–Z is a free tool for making handwriting practice sheets. We keep things simple and collect as little as possible.

What we collect

Nothing about you. There are no accounts and no sign-ups. The letters, words and names you type for your sheets stay in your browser and are never sent to us.

Feedback messages

If you use Send feedback, only the message you type is sent. It goes to a Google Form and is kept in our Google account so we can read it. We don't ask for your name or email, so please don't include personal details. We delete messages we no longer need.

Download counter

When you download a PDF, the site adds one to a single total, which is shown at the bottom of the page. Only that number is kept. Nothing about you or your sheet is sent or stored.

What is saved on your device

Your last settings (for example the sheet you made and light or dark mode) are saved in your browser's local storage, so the page remembers them next time. This stays on your device. Click Start again or clear your browser data to remove it.

Links to a sheet

If you click Copy link, your sheet's choices (including any letters, words or names you typed) are stored inside the link itself. They are not sent to us. Anyone you give the link to can open the same sheet.

Other services the site uses

Cloudflare hosts the website. Like any web host, it may keep short-term technical logs such as IP addresses to keep the site running and secure.

Google Fonts and cdnjs supply the fonts and the PDF tool. Your browser downloads these files directly from them.
Google Forms receives feedback messages, only if you choose to send one. Google's own privacy policy applies there.
Ko-fi is only used if you choose to click the support button. Ko-fi's own privacy policy applies there.

We do not use advertising or tracking, we do not use cookies, and we never sell or share personal information.
