1. Introduction
Welcome to CapHash ("we", "us", "our"). We operate the website at caphash.io (the "Service"), a free Instagram caption and hashtag generator.
We take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit CapHash, how we use it, and what rights you have. By using our Service, you agree to the practices described here.
2. Information We Collect
CapHash does not require an account, email address, or any personal information to use the tool.
Information you provide
Any keywords or descriptions you type into the generator are processed entirely in your browser. We do not transmit this text to our servers.
Automatically collected information
Like most websites, our hosting provider may collect standard server logs including your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used for security and performance monitoring and is not linked to any personal identity.
Advertising data
We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google may collect data about your visit for the purpose of serving relevant advertisements. Please see Section 6 for more detail.
3. How We Use Your Information
- → To provide and improve the CapHash service
- → To monitor site performance, security, and uptime
- → To display relevant advertisements via Google AdSense
- → To respond to contact form enquiries you submit voluntarily
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
4. Local Storage
CapHash uses your browser's localStorage — not cookies — to store your preferences and saved captions directly on your device. This data never leaves your browser and is not accessible to us.
What we store in localStorage:
ch_saved— your saved/favourited captionsch_dark— your dark mode preference (0 or 1)
You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data or using the "Clear all" button in the Saved Captions panel.

7. GDPR – Your Rights
Applies to users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom
If you are located in the EEA or UK, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or UK GDPR gives you the following rights in relation to your personal data:
Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data we hold.
Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")
You may request deletion of your personal data where there is no legitimate reason for us to continue processing it.
Right to Restrict Processing
You may ask us to halt processing of your data in certain circumstances.
Right to Data Portability
You may request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data for direct marketing or based on legitimate interests.
A note on our data practices
Because CapHash does not collect personal data beyond server logs and optional contact form submissions, exercising most of these rights will result in a confirmation that we hold no personal data about you. Contact form data (if submitted) is retained for correspondence purposes and deleted upon request.
Lawful basis for processing: Where we do process personal data (e.g., contact form submissions), the lawful basis is your explicit consent provided at the time of submission. Server logs are processed under our legitimate interest in maintaining site security.
To exercise any of your rights, please contact us via the Contact page. We will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (in the UK: the ICO at ico.org.uk).
8. Children's Privacy
CapHash is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of CapHash after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
10. Contact
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise your rights, or want to make a complaint, please contact us via our Contact page.
