01Introduction & Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how wordcounteronlinetool.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you visit and use our website and lexical suite of tools. We are dedicated to providing fast, reliable, and entirely transparent writing and text analysis utilities without sacrificing your personal privacy or confidential content.
By accessing or using wordcounteronlinetool.com, you acknowledge the terms outlined in this policy. If you disagree with any part of this policy, please refrain from using our services.
02100% Client-Side Processing of Your Text
Unlike many web-based text utilities that upload your drafts to remote backend servers to compute counts or run NLP models, wordcounteronlinetool.com operates strictly on the client side.
What We Do
We execute JavaScript code directly in your browser using the ECMAScript Intl.Segmenter engine to measure word counts, character limits, sentence complexity, and readability metrics in real time.
What We Never Do
We never log, transmit, cache, monetize, or train machine learning models on your essays, code files, manuscripts, or proprietary drafts. When you close or refresh your tab, your text is completely erased from client memory.
03Information We Do Not Collect
- No User Accounts: You are never required to register, sign in, or provide personal credentials, names, or phone numbers to use any of our tools.
- No Keystroke Telemetry: We do not deploy keylogger trackers, session replay scripts (e.g., Hotjar/FullStory), or input event monitors.
- No Document Storage: Files uploaded for word analysis (.txt, .docx, .pdf) are read inside your browser’s FileReader API buffer and never uploaded to remote storage buckets.
04Cookies and Local Browser Storage
We believe in a web free of pervasive tracking. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
We use standard browser localStorage exclusively to preserve your chosen UI preferences, including:
- Your preferred theme (Light Mode vs. Dark Mode).
- Your preferred locale / language setting.
- Temporary local auto-save drafts (stored strictly on your machine so you don’t lose work if your browser closes accidentally).
You can clear this data at any time via your browser’s site settings or cache manager.
05Hosting, CDN & Technical Delivery Logs
Like all websites on the Internet, when you request static assets (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, icons), our Content Delivery Network (CDN) and hosting infrastructure automatically log standard HTTP request metadata. This may include your IP address, browser user-agent, referring URL, and timestamp.
These technical server logs are used exclusively for DDoS prevention, security diagnosis, and server reliability. They are never linked to any text you analyze on our website.
06Global Compliance (GDPR, CCPA, CPRA)
Because wordcounteronlinetool.com adheres strictly to Data Minimization and Privacy by Design, we do not collect, process, or sell personal data. Under regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):
- Right of Access & Portability: Since we do not retain your personal data or text drafts on our servers, there is no server-side data archive to export.
- Right to Erasure: Refreshing your browser tab or clicking the “Clear” button immediately purges your text from browser RAM.
- We Do Not Sell Personal Information: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or content to third parties for monetary consideration or advertising.
07Children’s Privacy
Our website provides academic and writing productivity tools suitable for students of all ages. Because we do not collect personal identifying information, we comply fully with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar international standards.
