Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Overview

At WordToTime.org, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our word to time calculator service.

We believe in transparency and want you to understand exactly how your data is handled when you use our speech timing calculation tools. This policy applies to all users of WordToTime.org, regardless of location or frequency of use.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Text Content and Calculations

When you use our word to time calculator, the text you type or paste is processed entirely within your browser. We never receive, store, or transmit this content to our servers. If you choose to import a file, the browser's FileReader API loads it locally so the data never leaves your device.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

We automatically collect certain information when you visit our website, including:

• IP address and general location information
• Browser type and version
• Operating system information
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• Pages visited and time spent on our website
• Referring website or source
• Date and time of visits

2.3 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website. These may include:

• Essential Cookies: Required for basic website functionality
• Preference Cookies: Remember your language and display settings
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our website
• Performance Cookies: Collect information about website performance

3. How We Use Your Information

3.1 Service Provision

We use your information to:

• Provide accurate word to time calculations that run on your device
• Enable optional local file parsing without transmitting your documents

• Ensure proper website functionality across devices

3.2 Website Improvement

We analyze usage patterns to:

• Improve our calculation algorithms
• Enhance user interface and experience

4. Data Processing and Storage

4.1 Local Processing

Most text analysis and calculations are performed locally in your browser using JavaScript. This means your text content never leaves your device for basic calculations, ensuring maximum privacy and security.

4.2 No Server Storage or History

We do not upload, process, or store your text on our servers. As a result:

• The text area clears whenever you refresh, close, or lose the browser tab
• There is no cross-device history or account sync—only you control any exports
• You should copy, download, or screenshot results locally if you want to keep them
• We cannot recover deleted or lost drafts because they never reach our infrastructure
