Our Privacy Commitment
Zero-Knowledge Architecture
PasswordGenerator101 is built on a fundamental principle: we cannot leak what we do not have. Your passwords are generated entirely in your browser and never leave your device.
Plain English: We don't store your passwords. We don't transmit your passwords. We don't log your passwords. We literally cannot see your passwords because they are generated by code running on your computer, not our servers.
🔐
Client-Side Only
All password generation happens in your browser using JavaScript.
🚫
No Server Processing
Passwords are never sent to or processed by our servers.
📊
No Password Logging
We have no database, logs, or storage for generated passwords.
🌐
Works Offline
The generator functions without an internet connection.
Data We Do NOT Collect
Let's be explicit about what we never collect, store, or have access to:
| Data Type |
Collected? |
Explanation |
| Generated passwords |
Never |
Created in your browser, never transmitted |
| Password preferences |
Never |
Your length/character choices stay in your browser |
| Clipboard contents |

Copy function is browser-native, we can't access it |
| Personal information |
Never |
No accounts, no sign-ups, no personal data |
| Email addresses |
Never |
No newsletter, no marketing emails |
| Usage analytics (passwords) |
Never |
We don't track what passwords are generated |
Data We May Collect
In the interest of full transparency, here is what limited data may be collected:
| Data Type |
Collected? |
Purpose |
| Server logs |
Standard |
IP address, timestamp, page requested—standard web server logs for security and abuse prevention. No password data. |
| Analytics (basic) |
Anonymous |
Aggregate page views and traffic sources to understand usage. No personal identification. |
| Advertising data |
Third-party |
Google AdSense may use cookies for ad personalization. See "Third-Party Services" below. |
Key distinction: Standard server logs record that your IP visited our site at a certain time—this is how all websites work. But these logs contain zero information about what passwords were generated because that happens entirely in your browser.
Third-Party Services
Google AdSense
We display advertisements through Google AdSense to support the free operation of this tool. Google may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your browsing history across sites. This is standard practice for ad-supported websites.
You can control ad personalization through:
Content Delivery
We may use content delivery networks (CDNs) to serve static assets faster. These services may log access for performance monitoring but have no visibility into password generation.
Technical Security Measures
Cryptographic Random Number Generation
We use the Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues()) for password generation. This is a Cryptographically Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generator (CSPRNG) that meets NIST standards—the same technology used for TLS encryption.
HTTPS Encryption
Our entire website is served over HTTPS, ensuring that the page content (including the JavaScript that generates passwords) cannot be intercepted or modified in transit.
No External Password Transmission
The password generation code makes no network requests. You can verify this by:
How to Verify Our Privacy Claims
- Open your browser's Developer Tools (F12 or right-click → Inspect)
- Go to the "Network" tab
- Generate several passwords on our homepage
- Observe that no network requests are made when generating passwords
- Optionally, disconnect from the internet and verify the generator still works
Open Source Transparency
Our password generation code is not obfuscated. You can view the complete source code by right-clicking on our homepage and selecting "View Page Source." The relevant JavaScript is clearly readable and auditable.
Your Rights
Data Subject Rights
Under GDPR, CCPA, and similar privacy regulations, you have rights regarding your personal data. However, since we don't collect or store personal data related to password generation, most of these rights don't practically apply to our core service:
- Right to Access: We store no password data to provide
- Right to Deletion: There's no password data to delete
- Right to Portability: No password data exists to export
For questions about server logs or advertising data, please contact us.
Cookie Preferences
Our core password generator does not require cookies. Any cookies present are from third-party advertising services. You can manage these through your browser settings or through the advertising opt-out links provided above.
Children's Privacy
PasswordGenerator101 is a general-audience website. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13 (or 16 in the EU). Since our password generator collects no personal information from anyone, this concern is effectively moot for our core functionality.
Policy Updates
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Significant changes will be noted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
