Effective date: 26 August 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how PageCount.online (“we,” “us,” or “this site”), available at Pagecount.online collects, uses, and protects information when you visit or use the tools on this site.
The Short Version
This site provides free browser-based tools. The text you analyze and the codes you generate are processed in your browser and are not transmitted to us or stored on our servers. Like most websites, we use Google Analytics to understand overall site traffic, which involves cookies and anonymous usage data. We do not sell personal information.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide to the Tools
The tools on this site process your input locally in your web browser.
Text you paste into the word counter, vocabulary analyzer, tone advisory, or platform fit checker is analyzed entirely within your browser. We do not receive, store, or log the text you analyze. One exception: if you use the vocabulary word-swap suggestion feature, individual words (not your full text) are sent to the Datamuse API, a third-party word-finding service, in order to retrieve synonym suggestions. Datamuse receives only those query words, with no account information or identifiers from us. You can review Datamuse’s practices at datamuse.com.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit this site, we collect standard technical information through Google Analytics, including:
- Pages visited, time on page, and navigation paths
- Approximate geographic location (city/region level, derived from IP address)
- Browser type, operating system, device category, and screen size
- Referral source (how you arrived at the site)
This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. We use Google Site Kit to connect this site to Google Analytics and Google Search Console.
Cookies
This site uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics): distinguish unique visitors and sessions so we can measure site traffic. These cookies do not contain personally identifying information.
- Functional cookies: remember basic preferences where applicable.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; the tools on this site will continue to work without them. You can also opt out of Google Analytics specifically using Google’s browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
How We Use Information
We use the aggregated analytics data described above to:
- Understand which tools and pages are most useful to visitors
- Diagnose technical problems and improve site performance
- Guide decisions about new features and content
We do not use this data to identify individual visitors, and we do not sell, rent, or trade any information to third parties.
Third-Party Services
This site relies on the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:
- Google Analytics / Google Site Kit (traffic measurement) — policies.google.com/privacy
- [Datamuse API (word suggestions, Word Count site only) — datamuse.com**]**
- Shock Hosting — hosting providers maintain standard server logs, which may include IP addresses, as part of normal operation
Advertising This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use advertising cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com. Visitors in the European Economic Area and the UK will be presented with a consent dialog before any advertising cookies are set.
Data Retention
We do not store tool inputs, so there is nothing to retain or delete on that front. Google Analytics data is retained according to the retention period configured in our Analytics account ([e.g., 14 months]), after which it is automatically deleted by Google.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under privacy laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to access, correct, or delete personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. Because this site does not collect or store personal information beyond anonymous analytics, there is generally no personal data on file for us to produce or delete. If you have a question or request regarding your data, contact us using the information below and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA.
Children’s Privacy
This site is a general-audience website and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact us and we will delete it.
Security
The tools on this site run over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Because tool inputs are processed in your browser rather than on our servers, the most sensitive data you work with never crosses the network to us.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
