This Privacy Policy explains how APA Citation Generator (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information when you use our website at apa-citation-generator.tools (the “Service”). Please review it and adjust the wording to match your actual data practices and applicable law before relying on it.
Information We Process
- Citation input. When you generate a citation, you may submit a URL, DOI, or bibliographic details (such as author, title, and date). When you submit a URL, our server retrieves the public web page at that address in order to extract citation metadata.
- Technical data. Like most websites, our servers automatically record standard log information such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested, for security and to operate the Service.
- Cookies. We may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functionality and, if enabled, analytics.
How We Use Information
- To generate and format citations you request.
- To operate, secure, maintain, and improve the Service.
- To comply with legal obligations.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the Service (such as hosting and, if enabled, analytics providers), and as required by law.
Third-Party Pages You Cite
When you submit a URL, we fetch content from that third-party site to build a citation. That site’s own privacy practices govern any data it collects. We are not responsible for third-party websites you choose to cite.
Data Retention
We retain technical logs and any cached citation data only as long as needed to operate and secure the Service, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To make a request, contact us at the address below.
