Privacy Policy
Welcome to the Grapheme Cluster Counter, a completely client-side web tool that counts real human-perceived characters in Unicode text. We do not collect, store, transmit, or process any personal data — ever. This Privacy Policy explains our ironclad commitment to your privacy.
1. Zero Data Collection
This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. When you paste or type text:
- Nothing is sent to any server — not ours, not anyone else’s
- No IP addresses are logged
- No browser fingerprints are collected
- No usage statistics are recorded
- No cookies, localStorage, or IndexedDB entries are created beyond the current session
Your text, including emojis, flags, skin tones, and private messages, never leaves your device.
2. How the Tool Works
All counting happens locally using the browser’s built-in Intl.Segmenter API and native JavaScript functions. Features such as:
- Real-time character counting
- Copy to clipboard
- Shareable links (via URL hash)
are performed exclusively on your device. Even when you share a link, only a base64-encoded version of your text is placed in the URL — no server ever sees it.
3. Third-Party Services
We do not use:
- Analytics (Google, Plausible, Umami, etc.)
- Advertising networks
- External fonts that track users
- CDNs that log requests
Bootstrap CSS and JS are loaded from jsDelivr (a privacy-respecting CDN), but no tracking occurs.
4. Security & Responsibility
Since no data reaches us, we cannot lose it, leak it, or sell it. You remain in full control. We recommend using the tool over HTTPS (which GitHub Pages provides by default) and keeping your browser updated.
5. Children’s Privacy
This tool is safe for all ages and collects no data from children or anyone else.
6. Changes to This Policy
If this policy ever changes (extremely unlikely), the tool remains client-side), the new version will be posted here with an updated effective date.
Your text belongs to you — always. Thank you for trusting a truly private tool.
