Privacy Policy

Last updated 22 August 2026

This policy explains what PrintTheSheet (printthesheet.com) does with information when you visit. It covers the whole site: every worksheet generator, every guide, and every printable page.

What the worksheet generators collect

Nothing. This is worth stating precisely, because it is a property of how the site is built rather than a policy we could quietly change.

Every worksheet on this site is generated by code running inside your own browser. When you type a child’s name into the name tracing tool, paste a spelling list into the word search maker, or drop a passage into the fill-in-the-blank generator, that text is turned into a PDF on your device. It is not uploaded, not queued on a server, not logged, and not stored — there is no server-side component that could receive it. Closing the tab is all it takes to be rid of it.

The same is true of the finished PDF. It is assembled in memory and handed straight to your browser’s download, so we never hold a copy of any worksheet anyone has made.

One thing to be aware of. Each generator has a Copy link button that packs your current settings into a shareable web address. We never put those settings into the address bar by ourselves — that only happens if you press the button, or if you open a link somebody shared with you. If you do open such a link, the address (including any settings inside it, which could include a name you or they typed) is part of the page URL, and page URLs are recorded by the analytics described below. If that matters to you, delete the part of the address after the ? before loading it.

Analytics

We measure how many people find the site and which worksheets are worth building more of. These tools do this:

• Google Analytics 4 (property G-94WZZL7648). Sets cookies in your browser and reports the pages you view, roughly where in the world you are (derived from your IP address, which Google does not make available to us), your device and browser type, and how you arrived — a search result, a link, or a direct visit. Google’s handling of this data is governed by its own privacy policy.
• Vercel Analytics, provided by our host. It counts page views without cookies and without building a profile that follows you between websites.
• SignalRank, which measures whether AI assistants such as ChatGPT cite this site when someone asks them for a worksheet. More than half the people who arrive here come from an assistant rather than a search engine, and this is how we see which pages they recommend. It records the page you are on and how you reached it; it is not used to show you advertising.

We also record an event when a worksheet PDF is successfully downloaded, so we can tell which generators people actually use. That event carries only the settings you chose from the menus — the paper size, the difficulty, whether you picked dotted or solid letters. It deliberately never carries the name you traced, the words you searched for, or any other text you typed; the code that builds these events is written to exclude those fields outright.

Advertising

Everything on PrintTheSheet is free to use, with no signup, no email wall, and no watermark. Display advertising is how that is paid for.

No advertising is running on the site yet. When it starts, ads will be served by Google AdSense, which — like nearly all display advertising — uses cookies to decide which ads to show, including on the basis of your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s AdSense script does load on these pages so that Google can verify the site while our application is reviewed, but no ad unit is placed and no ad is shown. This section will be updated with the full disclosures and opt-out links before the first ad is served. Advertising will never be placed above or inside a worksheet generator; it belongs below the tool and inside articles.

Affiliate links

A few of our guides — the ones whose advice describes real-world supplies such as pencil grips, index cards, or playdough — end with a short list of those supplies, linked to searches on Amazon. Every such list sits behind its own plain-language disclosure on the page itself, above the links.

As an Amazon Associate, PrintTheSheet earns from qualifying purchases: if you buy something after following one of those links, Amazon pays us a small commission at no extra cost to you. Following such a link tells Amazon which site referred you — that is how the commission is attributed — and from that point Amazon’s own privacy policy governs, exactly as with any other external link. We never see what you looked at or bought, only aggregate commission reports.

Cookies

A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep. The ones used here come from the analytics and advertising services named above; the site itself sets no cookies of its own, because it has nothing to remember about you between visits.

Every browser lets you block or delete cookies, and most offer a private browsing mode that discards them when you close the window. Blocking them will not stop any worksheet generator from working — the tools do not depend on cookies at all.

Fonts and images are served from our own domain rather than a third-party font CDN, so no outside company sees your visit simply because a page loaded its artwork or typefaces. The measurement and advertising scripts named above are the exception, and they are the only third-party code the site loads.

Visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland

We would rather state this plainly than imply more than is true: the site currently shows no consent notice. The only cookies in play today are Google Analytics’ measurement cookies, described above, and you can refuse them with your browser’s own cookie controls with no effect on any worksheet. A consent notice covering visitors in these regions will be in place before any advertising is served here.

Children

PrintTheSheet is made for the adults who print worksheets — parents, teachers, tutors, and carers — rather than for children, and it is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, children included; as described above, the site has no accounts and no mechanism for a visitor to submit personal information to us at all.

The worksheets are of course made for children, and a child may well be sitting at the keyboard typing their own name into a tracing sheet. That name stays on the device, exactly as described above. If you believe a child has somehow provided us with personal information, email us at hello@printthesheet.com and we will delete it.

Hosting and server logs

The site is hosted on Vercel. Like every web host, its servers keep short-term request logs — the page requested, the time, the IP address the request came from, and the browser’s user-agent string — which exist to serve the site and to spot abuse. We do not run a database and we do not combine those logs with anything else.

Your choices and your rights

• Use your browser’s cookie controls or private mode to limit what is stored, with no effect on the worksheets.
• Use the advertising opt-outs above to turn off ad personalisation.
• Depending on where you live — including the EEA, the UK, and California — you may have the right to ask what personal information a business holds about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to certain processing. Because we hold no accounts and no database, in practice there is nothing on our side to produce or erase; requests about the data held by Google or Vercel are best made to them directly, and we will help if you ask.
• We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising beyond the standard advertising cookies described above.

Links to other sites

Some pages link out — to Pinterest when you save a worksheet, to Google’s own settings pages, or to a reference elsewhere. Those links are plain links, with no tracking script embedded in our pages to make them work. Once you follow one, that site’s privacy policy applies rather than ours.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it. Anything that materially affects what is collected will be reflected here before it takes effect.
