Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Accurate Word Counter (accuratewordcounter.com) handles information when you use our free online word and character counter tool.

1. How Text Is Processed

Basic word counting, character counting, and text analysis on this website is performed inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. Basic counting does not require text upload. Some features, such as document handling or locally saved drafts, may use browser storage or feature-specific processing described in this policy.

2. Information We May Collect Automatically

Like most websites, we may collect standard server-log data when you visit, including:

  • Your browser type and version
  • Your operating system
  • The page you visited and the time of the visit
  • Your approximate location based on IP address (country/city level)

This data is used solely for diagnosing technical issues and understanding aggregate traffic patterns. It is not linked to any personal identity.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

We use the browser's localStorage to remember your dark-mode preference so it persists between visits. No personal information is stored in localStorage. We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

  • Google Fonts — to serve the Inter and JetBrains Mono typefaces. Google may log your IP address when fonts are loaded.
  • Analytics — if we use a web analytics service (e.g. Google Analytics), it collects anonymised visit data such as page views and session duration. No personally identifiable information is collected.

5. No Sale of Data

We do not sell, trade, or transfer any information — even the limited analytics data — to third parties for marketing purposes.

6. Children's Privacy

This service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when the most recent changes were made. Continued use of the service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

8. Contact
