Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 10, 2026 · Effective immediately
Your Text Never Leaves Your Browser
WordCounterr.World is built on a simple principle: your writing is nobody's business but yours. We don't have a backend that receives your text. There is nothing to leak, sell, or subpoena.
On this page
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how WordCounterr.World ("we", "us", "our", or "the Service") handles information when you visit https://wordcounterr.world and use any of our free tools — including the word counter, character counter, readability analyzer, writing goal tracker, and related features.
We designed this Service with privacy as the foundation, not an afterthought. Our tools run entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. There is no server that receives, stores, or processes the text you paste into our editor.
By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
To be as transparent as possible, here is a comprehensive list of things we never collect, store, or access:
- Your text content — words, sentences, paragraphs you type or paste
- Uploaded files — PDFs, DOCX, or TXT files are parsed in your browser; no file is uploaded to any server
- Your name, email, or phone number — we do not have account registration
- Your IP address for tracking purposes — we do not log individual visitors
- Writing goals or streaks — stored only in your browser's
localStorage, never on our servers - Your writing history — the 30-day chart data is entirely local to your device
- Payment information — the Service is completely free; we do not process payments
- Biometric or location data — never requested, never collected
3. Information We May Collect
While we keep data collection to an absolute minimum, a few categories of anonymous information may be collected automatically when you visit the site:
3.1 Anonymous Usage Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which features are most useful. This data is aggregated and anonymous and typically includes:
- Page views and unique visit counts (no individual tracking)
- Approximate country or region (derived from IP, but the IP itself is not stored)
- Browser type, operating system, and device category
- Referring website or search engine
- Time spent on page (aggregate)
3.2 Technical Logs
Our hosting provider may temporarily log standard web server information for security and abuse prevention:
- IP address (typically retained for 24–72 hours then deleted)
- User agent string (browser + OS)
- Requested URL and timestamp
- HTTP status code
These logs are used solely to detect and mitigate attacks, spam, or abuse and are never sold or shared.
4. How We Use Information
The minimal information we may collect is used only for the following purposes:
- Improving the Service — understanding which tools are used and how to make them faster or more useful.
- Security & abuse prevention — detecting bots, DDoS attempts, or malicious traffic.
- Technical operations — ensuring the site loads correctly across browsers and devices.
- Legal compliance — responding to lawful requests when strictly required.
We never use your information for targeted advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties.
5. Cookies & Local Storage
We use a minimal amount of browser storage to make the Service work smoothly. Here's exactly what's stored and why:
| Storage Key | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
wcr_theme |
Remembers your dark/light mode preference | localStorage | Until cleared |
wcr_draft |
Auto-saves your current text so you don't lose work if the tab closes | localStorage | Until cleared |
wcr_goal_v2 |
Stores your writing goal, daily count, streak, and 30-day history | localStorage | Until cleared |
We do not use:
- Advertising cookies
- Cross-site tracking cookies
- Third-party marketing pixels
- Fingerprinting scripts
6. Third-Party Services
To keep the site fast and reliable, we load a small number of open-source libraries from public CDNs:
| Service | Purpose | Data Sent |
|---|---|---|
| jsDelivr | Delivers Chart.js, marked, DOMPurify, mammoth.js | Standard HTTP request (IP, user agent) |
| Cloudflare CDN | Delivers pdf.js | Standard HTTP request (IP, user agent) |
When your browser loads these libraries, it makes a standard HTTP request to the CDN. The CDN may log your IP address in accordance with its own privacy policy. No text you type is ever sent to these services — only the request for the library file itself.
We do not integrate any advertising networks, social media trackers, or data brokers.
7. Data Security
Because we don't collect or store your text, the risk of a data breach exposing your content is essentially zero. This is a deliberate architectural choice — the strongest privacy is not having the data in the first place.
Additional security measures we apply:
- HTTPS everywhere — all traffic is encrypted with TLS
- Content Security Policy (CSP) — restricts which scripts can run on the page
- No server-side editor — text never leaves your device, so there is nothing to intercept
- Sanitized Markdown rendering — DOMPurify prevents XSS from pasted HTML
- Regular dependency updates — we keep all libraries patched
8. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Even though we collect almost no data, we honor the following rights for all users worldwide:
Under GDPR (EU/EEA/UK users):
- Right of access — you can request any data we hold about you (answer: essentially none)
- Right to rectification — correct any inaccurate data
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") — clear any local data via your browser
- Right to restrict processing — disable analytics via browser extensions
- Right to data portability — export your local data anytime
- Right to object — contact us to object to any data processing
Under CCPA (California users):
- Right to know — what categories of personal information are collected
- Right to delete — request deletion of personal information
- Right to opt out of sale — we do not sell personal information, ever
- Right to non-discrimination — you will not be penalized for exercising your rights
To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@wordcounterr.world.
9. Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has used the Service in violation of this policy, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
Because we do not collect names, emails, or any personally identifiable information, the risk to minors is minimal. However, we still ask that parents and guardians supervise their children's internet use.
10. International Users
WordCounterr.World is accessible globally. Because we do not operate user accounts and do not store user text on any server, cross-border data transfer concerns are essentially eliminated — there is no personal data to transfer.
Anonymous analytics data may be processed on servers located in various jurisdictions (depending on our CDN and analytics providers). All providers are chosen with privacy and GDPR compliance in mind.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will:
- Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
- If significant, notify users via a banner on the main tool page
We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
12. Contact Us
If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact us:
- Privacy inquiries: privacy@wordcounterr.world
- General support: hello@wordcounterr.world
- Legal: legal@wordcounterr.world

We aim to respond to all privacy-related inquiries within 5 business days.
