Privacy Policy
Introduction
At Word Counter, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our word counting tool.
Our commitment to privacy is simple: your text stays yours. We don't track, store, or share your content.
Information We Don't Collect
Your Text Content: All text processing happens entirely in your browser. We never send your text to our servers, and we don't store any of the text you enter into the word counter.
Personal Information: We don't require you to sign up, create an account, or provide any personal information to use Word Counter.
Tracking: We don't use analytics tools that track your content or personal browsing behavior. We may use basic analytics to understand site usage patterns, but this doesn't include tracking of your text content.
Local Storage
Word Counter uses your browser's localStorage to save your texts locally on your device. This allows you to:
- Save and retrieve your texts for later use
- Maintain your text history across sessions
- Store your preferences (like theme settings)
All data stored in localStorage remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.
Cookies
Word Counter may use essential cookies to maintain your preferences and improve your experience. These cookies are stored locally and don't contain any personal information or text content. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect some functionality.
Third-Party Services
Word Counter is designed to work entirely in your browser without relying on third-party services for text processing. However, we may use third-party services for:
- Hosting our website
- Basic analytics (without tracking your content)
- Content delivery networks (CDN) for faster loading
These services don't have access to your text content, as all processing happens locally in your browser.
Chrome Extension
Our Chrome extension follows the same privacy principles. All text processing happens locally in your browser, and we don't collect or transmit your text content. The extension only requires minimal permissions to function and doesn't access any data beyond what's necessary for word counting.
Children's Privacy
Word Counter is safe for users of all ages. Since we don't collect personal information or require sign-ups, our service is appropriate for children. However, we recommend that children under 13 use the tool with parental supervision.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
