The short version: the text you type or paste into our tools is processed entirely in your browser. It is never sent to our servers, stored, or shared with anyone.
1. Who we are
WordCount.xyz (“we”, “us”) operates the website at https://wordcount.xyz. For privacy questions, contact contact@wordcount.xyz.
2. Text you enter
All counting, converting and calculating happens with JavaScript running on your device. We have no technical means to see the content you type or paste, and we do not collect it.
3. Information stored on your device
We use your browser's local storage to remember your chosen interface language. This value stays on your device and is not sent to us.
4. Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used — for example, which pages are visited, which tools are popular, the approximate country of visitors and the type of device. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar identifiers. It does not receive the text you enter into our tools. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
5. Advertising
We may display ads served by Google AdSense and its partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings, or opt out of many third-party vendors at aboutads.info. Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland will be asked for consent before personalised ads or non-essential cookies are used.
6. Hosting and server logs
The site is served through Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as IP addresses and request headers to deliver pages and protect against abuse. This data is handled under Cloudflare's privacy policy.
7. Legal bases and your rights
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on your consent for analytics and advertising cookies and on our legitimate interest in operating a secure website. You may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of personal data, to object, and to lodge a complaint with your data-protection authority. California residents have similar rights under the CCPA/CPRA; we do not sell personal information for money. To exercise any right, email us.
8. Children
The site is suitable for general audiences, including students. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country).
9. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above shows when it last changed.
