Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

1. About This Privacy Policy

Word Count Goal ("the Site," "we," "us") operates the website at word-count-target-tracker.hub2.day. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit and use our word count tracking tool. We are committed to transparency and respecting your privacy.

2. Information We Process

2.1. Writing Data You Enter

Our core tool allows you to set a word count goal and paste or type text to track your progress. All text you enter, your goal setting, and the resulting word count calculations are processed entirely inside your own browser using JavaScript. This data is never sent to our servers, stored by us, or accessible to us. It remains under your control on your device.

2.2. Information You Provide Voluntarily

If you contact us at hello@word-count-target-tracker.hub2.day, we receive your email address and any information you include in your message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry and provide support.

2.3. Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, our server may temporarily log standard technical information when you access the Site. This can include your IP address, browser type, referring pages, and timestamps. These server logs are used solely for security, troubleshooting, and ensuring the Site's stable operation. They are retained for a short period and are not combined with other data to identify you personally.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

3.1. Essential Local Storage

To improve your experience, the Site may use your browser's local storage to remember your word count goal or preferences (such as dark mode) between visits. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us. You can clear this data through your browser settings at any time.

3.2. Advertising Cookies

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites. These cookies allow Google and its partners to show you more relevant ads. The use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your browsing activity.

You can learn more about how Google uses data and manage your ad personalization settings by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You may also opt out of personalized advertising from many third-party vendors by visiting www.aboutads.info.

4. Legal Bases and Consent (GDPR, UK GDPR, and EEA Visitors)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Consent: We rely on your consent for the placement of non-essential cookies and for personalized advertising through Google AdSense. When you first visit the Site, a consent management platform will ask for your permission before these cookies are set. You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences.
• Legitimate Interests: We process server logs for security and operational stability based on our legitimate interest in protecting the Site.
• Performance of a Request: We process your email and message content to respond to your contact request.

5. Your Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA and Other U.S. States)

If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, or other states with comprehensive privacy laws, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Know: You can request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you.
• Right to Delete: You can request that we delete personal data we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: We do not sell personal data for money. However, our use of Google AdSense may involve the "sharing" of data for targeted advertising under California law. You can exercise your right to opt-out of this sharing by managing your cookie preferences on the Site or by using browser-based opt-out signals like the Global Privacy Control.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

To exercise your rights, please contact us at hello@word-count-target-tracker.hub2.day. We will verify your request and respond within the time required by applicable law.

6. Service Providers

We use Google AdSense as a third-party advertising service. Google acts as a data processor for ad serving and may collect data as described in their own privacy policy. We do not engage other service providers that process personal data on our behalf.

7. Data Retention

Server logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days for security analysis. Email correspondence is retained for as long as needed to resolve your inquiry and for our legitimate business records, unless you request deletion. Data stored in your browser's local storage remains until you clear it.

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited data we process against accidental loss, unauthorized access, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to external websites, including those of advertisers. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

11. International Data Transfers

The Site is hosted and operated from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the U.S. By using the Site, you acknowledge this transfer. We take steps to ensure your data receives an adequate level of protection as required by applicable law.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
