👋 Introduction

Welcome to Pickup Line Generator (“we,” “our,” or “us”), accessible at pickup-line-generator.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website.

By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

• Usage data — pages visited, time spent, browser type, operating system, and referring URLs.
• Device data — IP address, device type, screen resolution, and language settings.
• Browser local storage — used only to save your favourite pickup lines on your device, and optionally to store your Anthropic API key if you enable AI Mode. All local storage data stays on your device only and is never transmitted to us.

🍪 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

This site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following purposes:

• Advertising cookies — served by Google AdSense to display personalised or non-personalised ads.
• Analytics cookies — used by Google Analytics (if enabled) to understand how visitors interact with the site.
• Affiliate tracking — Amazon Associates uses cookies to track referrals from affiliate links on this site. See the Amazon section below for details.
• Functionality — browser local storage is used to remember your saved favourite lines. This data never leaves your device.

You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect ad personalisation and affiliate tracking.

🛒 Amazon Associates Affiliate Program

This website participates in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites including Audible.

Amazon’s terms strictly require that this disclosure appear on any page containing affiliate tracking links. Accordingly:

• All affiliate links are marked with rel="noopener sponsored" to clearly identify them to browsers and search engines.
• Affiliate links are labelled in context (e.g., “View on Amazon”) so users understand the destination.
• The disclosure statement “As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases” appears in the footer of every page on this site.
• We only recommend books and products we genuinely believe may be useful. Affiliate relationships do not influence editorial content.

🤖 AI Mode & Third-Party AI Services

This site offers an optional AI Mode that allows you to generate pickup lines using Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic. This feature is entirely opt-in and requires you to supply your own Anthropic API key.

When AI Mode is enabled:

• Your API key is stored only in your browser’s local storage. It is never sent to us or any server we operate.
• Your prompts (the category you select and a system instruction) are sent directly from your browser to Anthropic’s API (api.anthropic.com). We do not see, log, or retain these requests.
• Anthropic’s data practices apply to any data processed through their API. Please review Anthropic’s Privacy Policy before enabling this feature.

🔗 Third-Party Links

This site contains links to third-party websites including Amazon, Audible, and Anthropic. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.
