Privacy Policy

This page explains what happens to your data when you use Turnitin AI Detector. We try to collect as little as possible. You do not need an account to use the site.

The text you check

When you press Check (AI detector) or Check Grammar (grammar checker), your text is sent from our server to a third-party service, currently Sapling AI (sapling.ai), which analyzes it and sends back the scores or the grammar suggestions. The service handles your text under its own terms and privacy policy, including how long it keeps it. We do not control that.

We do not save your text in our own database, logs or error reports. For each check we record only basic technical details: how many characters were checked, how long the check took, whether it worked, how many suggestions were found, and which service was used.

Please do not submit personal, confidential or sensitive information, such as names, contact details, health information or anything you are not allowed to share.

Your IP address

To keep the service free and fair, each visitor can run a limited number of checks per hour and per day. To count your checks we use your IP address. It is kept in a counter on our database provider (Upstash) and deleted automatically, normally within two days.

Like most websites, our hosting provider may also record IP addresses and basic request details in its server logs for security and to keep the site running.

Cookies and tracking

Turnitin AI Detector does not use advertising or analytics cookies and does not track you across other websites. If we add ads or analytics in the future, we will update this page and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

Clipboard

The Paste button reads your clipboard only when you press it, and only to put the text into the text box. Your browser may ask for permission first.

Uploaded files

When you upload or drop a .docx, .pdf or .txt file, your browser reads the text out of it on your device. The file itself is never sent to us or to anyone else. Only the text that ends up in the text box is sent, and only when you press Check or Check Grammar, as described above.

Copy results

The Copy results button copies the score, the label and the disclaimer to your clipboard. It does not copy or send your text anywhere. On the grammar checker, Copy corrected text copies your own text, with the changes you accepted, to your clipboard on your device.

Service providers

• Sapling AI: analyzes the text you submit (AI detection and grammar suggestions).
• Upstash: stores the check counters described above.
• Our hosting provider: runs the website and keeps standard server logs.

These providers may process data in countries other than your own.

Children

Turnitin AI Detector is not directed at children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not use the site.

Your choices and rights

Because we do not keep your text and do not have accounts, there is usually no personal data we can look up, correct or delete. If you have a question or request about your data, please contact us. For text you submitted, you may also contact the detection service directly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this page when the service changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
