Privacy Policy — WordCount AI

1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Welcome to WordCount AI! This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our SEO analyzer and content grading tools. We operate on a freemium model — basic tools are free to start with optional upgrades for more features.

By using WordCount AI, you agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

2. Anonymous Use (Free-to-Start Tools)

• Content Processing: If you use our basic SEO tools without creating an account, the text or URL you submit is processed in real time and discarded immediately after analysis. We do not store this data.
• No Required Personal Data: You can access our free-to-start tools without signing up or providing personal information.
• Usage Limits: Anonymous access may have monthly or daily usage limits. Upgrade to a premium plan to remove these limits.

3. Registered & Premium Accounts

If you create a free or premium account, we collect and store:

• Email address, display name, and authentication provider.
• Usage history (number of analyses) to manage plan limits.
• Analysis history (inputs and results) so you can view or export past work.
• Subscription and billing status. Payment details are never stored by us — they are processed securely by Stripe.

4. Automatically Collected Data

We use analytics tools to collect non-personal usage data such as:

• Pages visited, tools used, and general usage patterns.
• Device, browser type, and operating system.
• Approximate location (city/country) for analytics purposes.

5. Cookies, Advertising & Tracking

WordCount AI uses cookies for essential site functions, analytics, and — on the free tier — ad personalization through services like Google AdSense. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

6. How We Use Information

• To operate and improve our tools.
• To provide account-specific features like history and exports.
• To enforce usage limits and prevent abuse.
• To process payments for premium subscriptions.

7. Third-Party Services

• Google Analytics — for aggregated usage reporting.
• Google AdSense — to support free-tier users with ads.
• Google AI (Gemini) — to process AI-powered analysis.
• Stripe — for secure payment processing. We do not store your credit card details. See Stripe’s Privacy Policy.

8. Data Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect stored account data. Anonymous content is not stored, but registered users’ history is kept securely and can be deleted on request.

9. Data Retention & Deletion

Registered users may request deletion of their account and associated data at any time by contacting privacy@wordcountai.com.

10. Children's Privacy

WordCount AI is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted here with a revised “Last Updated” date.
