Privacy Policy
How we protect your privacy and handle your data at Word Counter Pro.
Last Updated: January 2025
Privacy Promise
Your text is completely private. All processing happens locally in your browser. We never see, store, or transmit your content. This isn't just a policy—it's how our technology works.
1. Information We Don't Collect
Your Text Content: We never receive, store, or process your text on our servers. All analysis happens in your browser.
Personal Information: We don't collect names, email addresses, or personal details unless you contact us directly.
Files: Uploaded files are processed locally and never transmitted to our servers.
Account Data: We don't require accounts or user registration.
2. Information We May Collect
Anonymous Analytics: We may collect anonymous usage statistics to improve our service, including:
- Page views and tool usage frequency
- Browser type and operating system (anonymized)
- General geographic location (country level only)
- Performance metrics to optimize loading times
Technical Data: Standard web server logs may include IP addresses, timestamps, and error logs for security and maintenance purposes.
3. How Our Technology Protects You
Client-Side Processing: All text analysis algorithms run in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.
No Server Communication: Our tools don't send your content to any external servers for processing.
Local Storage Only: Any temporary data is stored locally in your browser and automatically cleared when you close the tab.
Secure Connection: All communication with our servers uses HTTPS encryption, though no content data is transmitted.
4. Cookies and Local Storage
We use minimal cookies and local storage for:
- Remembering your theme preference (dark/light mode)
- Storing tool preferences and settings
- Anonymous analytics (if enabled)
You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting the core functionality of our tools.
5. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services for:
- Analytics: Anonymous usage statistics (Google Analytics with IP anonymization)
- CDN: Content delivery for faster loading (Cloudflare)
- Hosting: Website hosting services
These services do not have access to your text content as it's processed entirely in your browser.
6. Data Retention
Content Data: Zero retention. We never receive your content.
Analytics Data: Anonymous usage data is retained for up to 26 months for service improvement.
Server Logs: Technical logs are retained for 30 days for security purposes.
Contact Information: If you email us, we retain correspondence for up to 2 years for support purposes.

9. Children's Privacy
Our service is safe for all ages. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Since we don't require registration and process everything locally, children can use our tools safely.
10. International Users
Word Counter Pro is available worldwide. Since processing happens in your browser, your data stays in your country. Our servers are located in the United States, but they only serve the application code, not your content.
