By using CountWordsFast.com, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information We Collect
No Storage of Text Input
The Service processes your text input (e.g., pasted or typed text) entirely client-side in your browser to count words, characters, and word frequency. We do not store, save, or transmit your text to our servers.
Automatically Collected Data
We may collect non-personal information via third-party services:
Google Analytics
Collects anonymized data like IP address, browser type, device, and usage patterns (e.g., pages visited, time spent) to improve the Service.
Google AdSense
Displays ads and may collect data like IP address and cookies for ad personalization.
Contact Form
If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email, and message solely to respond to your inquiry, via a third-party service (Formspree). This data is not stored beyond the email exchange.
