Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 27, 2026

HardCalc ("we", "us") operates this website. This policy explains what information is collected when you use our tools, and how it is handled. By using the site you agree to this policy.

The short version

Our tools run entirely in your browser. When you type or paste text into a tool such as the word counter, that text is processed on your own device and is never sent to or stored on our servers. We do not have accounts, and we do not ask for your personal information.

Information we do not collect

• We do not store the text or files you enter into any tool.
• We do not require registration, names, or email addresses to use the tools.
• We do not sell personal information.

Cookies and advertising

We use third-party advertising, including Google AdSense, to keep the tools free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this site and others.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of some third-party vendors at aboutads.info/choices.

Analytics

We may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand general traffic (such as page views and country). This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

Your choices

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking cookies will not stop the tools from working, since the tools do not depend on them.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

We may update this policy. Changes will be posted on this page with a new date above.
