Overview
This Privacy Policy explains what information the Syllable Counter at countsyllable.com (“we”, “us”, “the site”) collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. The tool is free, needs no account, and we keep data collection to a minimum.
Who We Are And How To Contact Us
The site is operated by an independent publisher. For any privacy question or request, email aichajeral@gmail.com or use our contact page.
The Text You Enter
To count syllables, the tool sends the text you type or paste to our server over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, analyses it and sends the result back. Because the analysis updates as you type or paste, text may be sent several times during a session. Our application does not save submitted text to a database or to its own logs, and we do not read it, sell it, share it or use it for any other purpose. Text is held in memory only while the request is being processed. Please do not enter anything you would not want sent to a web server, such as passwords or confidential personal information.
Information We Do Not Collect
- We do not require an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address, phone number or payment details to use the tool.
- We do not send marketing email, and we do not sell or rent personal information to anyone.
- We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our web server and hosting providers keep standard access logs when you visit. These can include your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you request, the referring page, and the date and time of the request. They do not include the text you submit to the tool. We use this information only to keep the site secure, to apply fair-use rate limits to the counting service (based on IP address), to diagnose problems, and to understand overall traffic. Logs are kept for a limited period and are not used to identify individual visitors.
Cookies And Local Storage
The site does not currently set tracking cookies. If we add analytics or advertising in future, those services may set cookies or similar technologies, and we will update this policy before they go live. You can control or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings.
Advertising
We may display advertising on this site, including ads served by Google AdSense. If we do, third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or by visiting aboutads.info. Where required by law, such as in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies for advertising.
Affiliate Links
Some links on the site may be affiliate links to retailers. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The retailer may set its own cookies to track the referral; their handling of your data is governed by their own privacy policy.
Third-Party Services And Links
Our blog articles load the MathJax library from the jsDelivr content delivery network to display formulas, so your browser connects to that service when you read them. The counting tool itself loads no third-party scripts. The site also links to external websites, such as poetry and reference sites, which have their own privacy practices that we encourage you to read.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, including under the GDPR, the UK GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. Because we collect very little personal data, we may hold nothing that identifies you, but you are welcome to ask. Email aichajeral@gmail.com and we will respond to verified requests within the time required by law.
Data Security And Retention
The site is served over HTTPS and we use reasonable technical measures to protect data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Server logs are retained only as long as needed for security and operations, and then deleted or anonymized.
Children’s Privacy
The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows the most recent revision, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
