Thraads.com is an independent guide to Threads. We don't use cookies, analytics, advertising trackers or accounts, and we don't collect, sell or share personal data. This page explains exactly what that means, the few technical things that still happen when any website loads, and how to clear anything our tools save in your own browser.
We don't set any cookies.
No Google Analytics, pixels or session recording.
No ad networks or ad tracking.
No sign-up, no logins, no profiles.
Our tools run in your browser; nothing you type is sent to us.
We have no personal data to sell or share.
Short version: we don't collect personal data. Here's the full list.
| Type of data | Do we collect it? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email, phone | No | Only if you choose to email us - see "If you email us". |
| Cookies | No | None set by Thraads. |
| Analytics or usage tracking | No | No analytics tools are installed. |
| Advertising identifiers | No | No ads or ad networks. |
| Location | No | We don't ask for or detect your location. |
| Threads / Instagram account data | No | We never connect to your account. |
| What you type into our tools | No | Processed in your browser and never sent to us. |
| Planner progress | On your device only | Saved in your browser's local storage; we can't see it. |
| Server and network logs | Not by us | Our host and font provider may log technical data like IP addresses - see Third parties. |
A few of our planners remember your progress using your browser's local storage so you don't lose your work. This data is saved only on your device - it's never sent to us or anyone else - and you can delete it any time.
Clearing your browser's site data for thraads.com, or using a private window, does the same.
We don't collect data, but loading a web page always involves a few technical connections. To be fully transparent:
Our typefaces load from Google Fonts. Your browser connects to Google's servers, which receive your IP address and browser details to deliver the font files. Google doesn't set cookies for this. See Google's privacy policy.
Google privacy policy ↗Like every website, the servers that host Thraads may automatically keep short-term technical logs (IP address, browser type, page requested, time) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. We don't use these logs to track or identify visitors.
We link to Meta, app stores and tools we review. Once you leave Thraads, that site's own privacy policy applies.
Your browser, device or extensions may collect data on their own. That's outside our control - check their settings.
Our contact page doesn't send anything by itself - it only prepares a message and opens your own email app. If you then choose to email us, we receive what you send: your email address, name if you include it, and your message.
We use it only to read and reply to you. We don't add you to mailing lists, and we don't sell or share it. Ask us any time to delete your emails and we will.
Never include passwords, login codes, ID documents or payment details in an email to anyone - including us.
Wherever you live - including under the GDPR in the UK and EU and privacy laws in US states like California - you have rights over your personal data.
Ask what data we hold about you. For almost everyone, the answer is none.
Ask us to delete any emails you've sent us.
Ask us to correct information in an email thread.
We don't sell or share personal information - there's nothing to opt out of.
You can contact your local data protection authority.
Email contact@thraads.com about anything on this page.
Thraads is a general guide and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect any data from children - and since we don't collect personal data at all, there's nothing to collect.
If we ever change how the site works - for example, by adding analytics or advertising - we'll update this page before the change goes live, describe exactly what's new, and change the "Last updated" date at the top.
