Our Core Privacy Promise
- ✅ Your text content never leaves your browser.

This policy explains what limited data we do collect, such as analytics, cookies, and contact form details, and how we use that information.
This Privacy Policy applies to Line Counter, operated independently. Our contact email is contact@aigotowork.work. Use of the Service is also subject to our Terms of Service.
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how Line Counter ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website at linecounter.org (the "Service").
We are committed to protecting your privacy. Line Counter is a collection of free, browser-based text tools. The most important thing to understand about our privacy practices is this:
While we do not collect your text content, we do collect some limited technical information to operate and improve the Service, as described in this policy.
By using Line Counter, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect two categories of information: automatically collected technical data, and information you voluntarily provide.
2.1 Automatically Collected Information
📍 Log Data
📊 Analytics Data
🍪 Cookies and Similar Technologies
📱 Device Information
2.2 Information You Voluntarily Provide
📧 Contact Form Submissions
We retain contact form submissions for up to 12 months, after which they are permanently deleted from our active support workflow.
3. Information We Do NOT Collect
What We Do Not Collect
We want to be completely clear about what we do not collect.
❌ Your Text Content
Any text you paste, type, or upload into our tools is processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. This content is never sent to our servers. We have no technical ability to see, store, or access what you enter into our tools.

🔧 How Browser-Side Processing Works
When you use a Line Counter tool, the tool code runs entirely within your web browser on your own device. Your text is processed in your browser memory and the result is displayed back to you without any network request containing your content.
You can verify this yourself: open your browser Developer Tools, go to the Network tab, and watch what happens when you use our tools. You will see no requests containing your text content.
