At ExactWordCount.com (“we,” “our,” or “us”), your privacy is our priority. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website and use our free online word counter tool.

By using ExactWordCount.com, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Your Text and Data Privacy (Client-Side Processing)

The most important thing you should know about ExactWordCount.com is that we do not store, save, or transmit your text. Our word counting tool operates entirely locally within your web browser (client-side processing). Any text you type or paste into our tool remains strictly on your device. We do not upload your content to our servers, we do not log it, and we do not share it with third parties. Once you close your browser or clear the text box, your data is gone.

2. Information We Collect

While we do not collect the text you enter into the tool, we may collect certain standard information to help us maintain and improve our website:

• Log Data: Like most websites, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit. This may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, the pages you visit, and the time and date of your visit.
• Contact Information: If you choose to contact us via email or a contact form for support or inquiries, we will collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We only use this information to respond to your request.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

ExactWordCount.com uses “cookies” (small text files placed on your device) and similar tracking technologies to improve user experience, analyze traffic, and serve relevant advertisements.

• Analytical Cookies: We may use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to measure website traffic, user behavior, and engagement. This helps us understand how our tool is being used so we can improve it.
• Advertising Cookies: We may partner with third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense) to display advertisements on our site. These vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.
• Managing Cookies: You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how some features of the website function.

4. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may contain links to external sites or utilize third-party services (like analytics and ad providers) that are not operated by us. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties.

5. Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously. Because your text is processed locally, the primary data we protect is the standard web traffic data. We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction of the minimal data we do collect. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

6. Children’s Privacy

ExactWordCount.com is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16, depending on your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will promptly delete such data from our records.

7. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• The right to access, update, or delete the information we have on you.
• The right to rectification (correcting inaccurate information).
• The right to object to our processing of your personal data.
• The right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
• The right to data portability.

Because we do not store personal accounts or the text you process, the scope of data we hold is highly limited. However, to exercise any of these rights regarding analytics or contact data, please reach out to us.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective Date” at the top. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
