Last updated: May 2025 · Word Counter Pro Tool · word-counter-pro-tool.com

    The short version: This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server or stored anywhere. We show adverts through Google AdSense. That's the summary — the full details are below.
  

1. Who we are

Word Counter Pro Tool is a free online writing utility available at word-counter-pro-tool.com. The site is operated by an individual publisher based in the United Kingdom.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy, please contact us at: hello@word-counter-pro-tool.com

2. What data we collect

Text you enter into the tool

Any text you type or paste into the word counter is processed entirely within your own browser. It is never transmitted to our servers, never stored, and never seen by us. When you close or refresh the page, it is gone.

Usage data

Like most websites, our hosting provider (Netlify) automatically collects standard server log data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This data is used for security and performance purposes and is governed by Netlify's Privacy Policy.

Cookies

We do not set any first-party cookies ourselves. However, Google AdSense (see section 4) may set third-party cookies on your device for advertising purposes.

3. How we use your data

We use the limited data described above only to:

Operate and maintain the website
Monitor site performance and security
Display relevant advertising through Google AdSense

We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with third parties except as described in this policy.

4. Google AdSense and advertising

This website uses Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google LLC. AdSense uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve advertisements 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 visit to this site and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use our site, please visit: How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites.

5. Your rights under UK GDPR

As a UK-based service, we comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. You have the right to:

Access any personal data we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate data
Request deletion of your data
Object to processing of your data
Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk

Given that we collect minimal data and your text never leaves your browser, most of these rights have limited practical application to this service. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@word-counter-pro-tool.com.

6. Third-party links

This site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

7. Children's privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
