Privacy.

The short version

BRYME does not ask you to create an account, does not ask for your name or email to read anything, and does not sell data. The writing tools run entirely inside your browser.

The tools never upload your writing

All 49 writing tools — the counters, the readability and passive-voice checkers, the rate and tax calculators, and the PDF and document tools — process your text locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your draft is not transmitted to BRYME, not stored on a server, and not logged.

Close the tab and the text is gone. That is a consequence of how the tools are built, not a promise about how carefully a server is managed.

What is collected

Standard web-server request information (the page requested, timestamp, and technical details your browser sends such as user agent) may be recorded by the hosting provider for reliability and abuse prevention. BRYME does not combine this into a profile of you.

BRYME runs no account system and sells no data. The Google AdSense verification tag is present on every page, though no AdSense ad units are placed on article pages while the site is in its current review stage. Advertising from Adsterra appears on content pages, and Google Analytics 4 is present too. Each is described below, and Adsterra units are loaded by BRYME's own first-party script (/assets/adsterra-loader.js), which sets no cookies.

Third parties

BRYME loads no third-party fonts. Every stylesheet and script is served from BRYME's own domain, with these sanctioned exceptions: the Google AdSense publisher verification tag, Google's consent message, Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-0KEKJH9960), and the advertising scripts of Adsterra, all described under Analytics, advertising and cookies below. That boundary is enforced by an automated check in the release process, which fails the build if any unsanctioned third-party advertising or analytics endpoint appears.

Links out to publications are ordinary links. Once you follow one, that publication's own privacy policy applies, not this one.

Analytics, advertising and cookies

Updated 22 October 2026. BRYME carries advertising to keep the publication free, from the two partners named below. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

Advertising partners. Advertising is served by two partners, and we would rather you knew both by name than had to guess from a network log. Google AdSense provides the publisher tag; no AdSense ad units are placed on article pages while the site is in its current review stage. Adsterra serves a native banner at the top of a content page, a classic 300×250 display banner after the article ends and before the footer, and a Social Bar widget.

The Adsterra ads are loaded by our own small script (/assets/adsterra-loader.js), which sets no cookies and stores nothing. Outside the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland they load when the page does. Inside them they wait for a granted advertising consent from the consent message, and if consent is refused or never given, nothing from Adsterra loads and no request is made to Adsterra at all.

Once an ad network's own script runs, it is that network's code, not ours: it may set cookies or use local storage and device identifiers of its own, and it receives your IP address and basic device and page information in order to deliver and measure advertising. Adsterra's practices are described in its own privacy policy on its website. Ads are never placed inside the text of an article and are never styled to look like a site control.

Analytics (added 22 September 2026). Every page loads Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-0KEKJH9960), which counts pages, sessions, and rough location so the desk can see what is worth writing next. It sets cookies such as _ga to tell one visit from the next; it does not identify you personally, and BRYME neither combines it with anything else nor sells it. For visitors in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland, Analytics and advertising both stay switched off until you accept them in the cookie message — rejecting it leaves them off. Anywhere else you can block them in your browser and every page reads and works exactly the same.

You may manage or opt out of personalised Google advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of participating vendors' cookies at aboutads.info.

Browser storage used by BRYME

Only two things are saved in your browser's own localStorage, and neither leaves your device: your light/dark theme choice, and anything you voluntarily enter into the client-side submission or income tracker tools. You can clear both at any time from your browser settings or using the clear button inside the tool.
