Overview
This Privacy Policy outlines how the Word Counter Chrome extension handles user data. The extension operates with a strict single-purpose model: calculating word, character, sentence, and reading-time metrics for user-selected text or input.
1. Data Collection and Usage
- No Personal Data Collection: Word Counter does not collect, track, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII), such as names, email addresses, IP addresses, or browsing history.
- Text Processing: Text selected on web pages or manually typed into the extension popup is processed strictly locally within your browser to generate character and word counts. This text is never transmitted, saved, or uploaded to external servers.
2. Permissions
Word Counter requests minimal browser permissions purely to fulfill its single core functionality:
activeTab/ Context Menus: Required only to read the specific text you explicitly highlight on a webpage when using the context menu shortcut to count words.
3. Data Sharing, Selling, and Disclosure
Because no data is collected or transmitted, Word Counter does not sell, rent, trade, or share any user data with third parties, advertisers, or external analytics providers under any circumstances.
4. Third-Party Services
This extension operates offline and independently. It does not load external scripts, remote code, or third-party tracking services.
5. Changes to This Policy
If updates are made to the extension, this Privacy Policy will be revised accordingly. Any changes will continue to adhere to the Chrome Web Store Single Purpose Policy and developer program requirements.
6. Contact Us
If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact the developer via the support channel listed on the official Chrome Web Store listing page.
