Citation Generator operates citationgenerator.dev. This Privacy Policy explains what information the website handles and how we protect your privacy when you use our citation tool.
Information We Collect
Sources you submit. You can use the tool without creating an account. The DOIs, ISBNs, links, BibTeX entries and text you paste are used only to create your citations. We do not store or log them.
Feedback form. If you contact us through the feedback form, we receive the name, email address and message you provide.
Technical data. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record basic technical details such as IP address, browser type and pages visited. This helps keep the site secure and working properly.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we receive only to:
- Generate the citations you request
- Read and reply to your feedback
- Keep the website secure and improve the tool
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.
AI-Assisted Citations (AWS Bedrock)
If a source is too unclear for the tool to read, the site offers optional AI help through Amazon Web Services (AWS) Bedrock. Nothing is sent unless you click “Proceed”. If you click “Cancel”, your text is not sent. When you proceed, the text is used only to generate your citations. AWS handles data under its own privacy notice.
Cookies
This website may use cookies that WordPress needs to function and stay secure. Your browser may also remember your choice on the AI notice (“Don’t show again for 7 days”). You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the website and the information it handles. However, no method of transmission or storage online is completely secure.
Your Rights
You may ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, or to correct or delete it. Because we only receive details through the feedback form, such requests usually relate to a message you sent us.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
