1. Introduction

Welcome to wordcountertools.org ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website.

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Subject
  • Message

This information is used solely for responding to inquiries and is not shared with third parties.

b. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data, such as page views, browser type, and geographic location. This data helps us improve user experience and website performance.

You can find detailed information about how Google uses your data in Google's privacy policy.

c. Local Storage Data

If you enable "Auto Save" on our tools ( Word Counter, Character Counter, Letter Counter ) your input is stored in your browser's local storage under keys:

  • WordCounter
  • CharacterCounter
  • LetterCounter

You can view, edit, or delete this data at any time through your browser settings. We do not collect, store, or process this data on our servers—it remains solely on your device and is only saved if you enable the Auto Save feature.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected data for the following purposes:

  • Contact Form Data: Information provided through the contact form is used to respond to your inquiries or feedback.
  • Google Analytics: We use analytics data to analyze website traffic and improve user experience.
  • Local Storage Data: To provide the Auto Save functionality, allowing you to retrieve your text during your session or future visits, if enabled.

4. Data Sharing

  • We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal data to third parties.
  • Contact form submissions are used only to respond to inquiries and are not shared with any third parties.
  • We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic, but it only processes anonymized, non-personal data (e.g. page views, device type, and browsing behavior).
  • Since user data (from the word counter, character counter, and letter counter) is stored only in local storage, it is never shared or transmitted to our servers.

5. Data Storage & Security

  • User-Entered Text: The text you input into our word counter, character counter, and letter counter tools is processed directly within your browser. We do not store this text on our servers. This ensures that your content remains private and is not accessible to us.
  • Local Storage (Auto Save): If you enable the "Auto Save" feature, your input data is stored in your browser's local storage. This storage is managed by your browser and is subject to its security protocols. You have complete control over this data and can delete it at any time through your browser's settings. We do not have access to or control over this local storage data.
  • Contact Form Data: When you contact us via the contact form, the information you provide (name, email, subject, message) is stored securely. We only use this information to respond to inquiries. We only retain this data for as long as necessary to resolve your request and for record-keeping purposes.
  • Google Analytics Data: We utilize Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data, which is stored on Google's secure servers. Google's security measures protect this data, and their privacy policy outlines how they handle it. We use this data to analyze website traffic and improve our services.
  • General Security: We implement security measures to protect any data processed, including SSL encryption for secure communication and restricted access to any collected information.
  • Data Deletion: Users have full control over their local storage data and can delete it anytime. For requests to delete contact form data, please contact us at [email protected]

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

  • Cookies: We use cookies solely for Google Analytics to track Website usage. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information. You can disable cookies via your browser settings.
  • Local Storage: The Auto Save feature uses your browser's local storage, not cookies, to save your text inputs if enabled. It saves the text you enter into the word counter, character counter, and letter counter tools.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected] so that we can delete the information.
