Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 2026
The CharCount.dev Privacy Commitment
The text you type or paste into CharCount.dev remains strictly on your local device. We do not transmit, record, inspect, or store your text on any server or cloud database.
1. Client-Side Text Processing
When you use the character counter, word counter, or text formatting utilities, all calculations—including character counting, whitespace filtering, case transformations, and reading metrics—are executed locally in your browser memory via JavaScript.
No data packets containing the contents of your text are sent over the network to CharCount.dev servers, AI models, or any external third-party APIs.
2. Standard Web Server Logs
Like virtually all websites on the internet, our hosting infrastructure automatically collects standard technical web server logs when an HTTP request is made to load the site files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). These logs may include:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referring URL
- Date, timestamp, and requested asset path
These server logs are used strictly for security monitoring, DDoS mitigation, and server health diagnostics. They do not contain any information typed into the text editor.
3. Cookies & Local Storage
CharCount.dev uses essential local storage to save your user preferences (such as custom character limit presets and your cookie consent state). This data remains strictly in your local browser and is never uploaded to our servers.
With your explicit permission, we use anonymous Google Analytics (GA4) cookies to understand general site traffic patterns and improve performance. We operate strictly under Google Consent Mode v2, ensuring analytics storage is denied by default until you grant consent. For full details on all cookies used and how to manage them, review our Cookie Policy.
4. Third-Party Services & Privacy Safeguards
We do not permit intrusive third-party scripts to attach keyloggers or listeners to the editor. Any analytics or auxiliary services adhere to strict privacy safeguards and will never inspect, transmit, or process your typed text.
