Privacy Policy
Plain language, because privacy shouldn’t need a law degree. Karo Convert is built to collect as little as possible.

The short version
The converter, calculator and study search run in your browser. We don’t require an account, and we don’t build a profile of you. A few preferences are saved on your device only. Payments are handled by Stripe (we never see your card). Ads are served by Google AdSense, which may use cookies.
What’s stored on your device
Using your browser’s local storage — never sent to a server we control:
- Theme (light or dark).
- Saved searches you choose to keep.
- Ad-free reference — a payment-session id used to confirm your ad-free status (see Payments).
Clearing your browser data removes all of the above.
Study search
When you run a study search, your query is sent to the Wikimedia Foundation’s public APIs (Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wiktionary) to fetch results, and is handled under Wikimedia’s privacy policy. We do not store your searches on our servers; they are saved only on your device, and only if you tap “save”.
Payments
If you donate to go ad-free, payment is processed by Stripe under Stripe’s privacy policy. We never receive or store your full card details. To keep ads off, we store a reference to your Stripe checkout session in your browser and re-check it with Stripe; we may also receive the email you provide at checkout.
Advertising & cookies
We use Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or device identifiers to serve and measure ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, control personalised ads in Google Ad Settings, and opt out of third-party ad cookies at aboutads.info/choices. If your visitors are in the EEA/UK, you must also show a compliant consent notice — configure this in your AdSense account.
Analytics
This site does not run its own analytics cookies by default. If you add an analytics tool, update this section to describe it.
Children
Karo Convert is intended to be safe for students of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children — the tools work without entering any personal details. Please don’t type personal information into the search box. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we’ll remove it.
Your choices
- Clear your saved searches any time from the “Saved searches” panel, or by clearing your browser data.
- Manage or block cookies in your browser settings.
- Control ad personalisation via the links under “Advertising & cookies”.
Changes
We’ll update this page if our practices change, and revise the “Last updated” date above.
