Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2025
The short version: We never store, log, or transmit the text you enter into our tool. All analysis happens entirely inside your browser.
Data We Collect
We do not collect, store, or transmit the text you type or paste into the word counter. The tool runs entirely as client-side JavaScript in your browser, which means your content never reaches our servers. When you close or refresh the page, the text is gone.
Cookies
We and our partners use cookies to run analytics and to serve advertising. Analytics cookies help us understand overall traffic so we can improve the site, while advertising cookies are used by third parties such as Google to show relevant ads. These cookies do not give us access to the text you enter into the tool. You can disable cookies in your browser at any time, or use the consent controls described below, without losing access to the word counter.
Advertising
This site is supported by advertising. We use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
Importantly, advertising relates only to your general browsing — the text you type or paste into our word counter is never shared with advertisers, because it never leaves your browser.
Third-Party Services
We may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to measure aggregate, anonymized usage such as page views and visitor counts, and Google AdSense to display advertising. These services are governed by Google's own privacy policy. We do not share any text you enter with Google or any other third party, because that text never leaves your device.
Your Consent & Choices
When you first visit, we ask for your consent to use analytics and advertising cookies. You can accept or decline, and you can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's cookies or adjusting your browser settings. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland are shown a consent choice in line with applicable regulations before personalized ads are served.
Your Rights
Because we don't store personal data or your text, there is nothing for us to retrieve, export, or delete on your behalf. You remain in full control of your content at all times. If you have questions about your privacy, you're welcome to contact us.
