Privacy Policy

Last updated September 25, 2026

The short version

This app doesn't collect or store anything you type. Text you paste or write is counted and analyzed entirely in your browser — it never reaches our server. The one exception is the optional Scan feature: if you choose to upload an image, PDF, or Word document to extract its text, that file is sent to our server for processing — see "Scanning a file" below for exactly what that involves.

What we don't do

  • We don't have user accounts, so we don't collect names, emails, or passwords.
  • We don't run third-party analytics or advertising scripts, and we don't use tracking or advertising cookies.
  • We don't send anything you type or paste to any server, ours or a third party's, for processing. (Files you choose to upload via the Scan feature are the one exception — see "Scanning a file" below.)
  • We don't use any third-party services that would receive your data — including files you scan, which are processed entirely on our own server, never sent to an outside vendor.

Scanning a file

The Scan feature lets you upload an image, PDF, or .docx file to extract its text. Using it is entirely optional — everything else in this app still works without it, and without anything reaching our server. If you do use it:

  • The file you choose is uploaded to our server so we can extract its text.
  • We delete the uploaded file immediately after processing it — it isn't kept, backed up, or logged.
  • The extracted text is sent back to your browser and never stored on our end.
  • No third party ever sees the file or its contents — extraction happens entirely on our own server using software we run ourselves.

What we do use

Your browser holds a standard session cookie used only to protect page submissions from cross-site forgery (a security mechanism, not a tracking mechanism). It isn't used to identify you or to remember anything about your visit.

Server logs

Like virtually any web server, ours logs basic technical request information (e.g. IP address, page requested, timestamp) for security, troubleshooting, and aggregate traffic counts (e.g. how many requests we get in a day). These logs don't include anything you typed into the tool, aren't shared with any third party, and aren't used to build a profile of you or track you across visits.

Changes to this policy

If what this app collects ever changes, we'll update this page and its "Last updated" date above.
