The short version: WordCount does not collect, store, or transmit any text you enter into our tools. All processing happens locally in your browser. We don't track you individually, we don't sell your data, and we never will.
WordCount ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at https://wordcounthq.com and all subpages, including the Word Counter, Character Counter, Sentence Counter, Reading Time Calculator, Case Converter, Lorem Ipsum Generator, and all other text tools available on the site.
