Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 7, 2026

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how TextCompare.me collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our service.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you use the text comparison feature, all text processing occurs locally in your browser. We do not collect, transmit, or store any text you enter for comparison.

If you use the Share feature, the compared text is temporarily uploaded to our server. This data is stored only for the expiration period you select and is automatically deleted afterward.

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, we may collect basic technical information such as:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring URL
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • IP address (anonymized where possible)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the automatically collected information solely for the following purposes:

  • To operate and maintain the service
  • To analyze usage patterns and improve the user experience
  • To monitor and prevent abuse or misuse of the service
  • To comply with legal obligations

3. Data Storage and Security

Text comparison data: Processed entirely in your browser. No text data is sent to our servers during normal use.

Shared comparisons: Stored on Cloudflare's global network with the expiration period you choose. Data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS.

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the information we handle. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

TextCompare.me uses browser local storage to save your preferences (such as theme selection, language preference, and editor options). We do not use tracking cookies. If third-party analytics services are used, they may set their own cookies subject to their respective privacy policies.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for hosting (Vercel), data storage (Cloudflare), and analytics. These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties.

6. Children's Privacy

TextCompare.me is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information. Since we collect minimal data and text comparison is processed locally, there is typically no personal data stored on our servers. For shared comparisons, you can simply let the link expire to have the data automatically deleted.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
