Privacy Policy

How we protect your data — spoiler: we never see it

Effective Date: October 8, 2026

At TextCompareo, we believe privacy should be simple to understand—not hidden behind complicated legal language.

People use our tools to compare text, documents, source code, JSON, XML, CSV files, folders, and other types of content. Some of that information may be important or sensitive, so we think it's important to explain exactly how our website works and what happens to your information.

This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect, why we collect it, how it's used, and the choices you have when using TextCompareo.

If you have any questions after reading this policy, you're always welcome to contact us.

Our Approach to Privacy

One of the principles behind TextCompareo is collecting as little personal information as possible.

Most of our comparison tools are designed to work directly in your web browser. In most cases, the text or files you compare stay on your device and are not uploaded to our servers for comparison.

Our goal is simple:

Help you compare information efficiently while respecting your privacy.

What Information We Collect

Like almost every modern website, TextCompareo collects a small amount of information to keep the website running smoothly and to understand how people use our services.

Information You Choose to Share

If you contact us, send feedback, report a bug, or request a new feature, you may choose to provide information such as:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • The message you send us
  • Any additional information you voluntarily include

You are never required to create an account simply to use our comparison tools.

Technical Information

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including:

  • Browser type
  • Device type
  • Operating system
  • IP address
  • Language settings
  • Pages you visit
  • Time spent on the website
  • Referring website (if applicable)

This information helps us improve website performance, diagnose technical issues, understand visitor behavior, and maintain security.

How Our Comparison Tools Work

Privacy is one of the reasons TextCompareo exists.

Our comparison tools are designed so that most comparisons happen directly inside your browser. This means that the content you compare generally remains on your own device instead of being transmitted to our servers.

If we ever introduce a feature that requires server-side processing, we will clearly explain how that feature works and update this Privacy Policy before it becomes available.

How We Use Information

The information we collect is used only to help us operate and improve TextCompareo.

This may include:

  • Keeping the website reliable and secure
  • Improving our comparison tools
  • Understanding which tools are most useful
  • Responding to questions or support requests
  • Fixing bugs and technical problems
  • Protecting the website from abuse or malicious activity
  • Meeting legal obligations where required

We do not sell your personal information.

We also do not use the content you compare to build advertising profiles or for marketing purposes.

Cookies

Like many websites, TextCompareo uses cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies help us:

  • Remember certain website preferences
  • Improve overall performance
  • Understand how visitors use our website
  • Maintain security
  • Measure website traffic

You can control or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Please note that disabling cookies may affect how certain parts of the website function.

Third parties, including analytics and advertising providers, may place or read cookies, use web beacons, or receive IP addresses and other identifiers when their services are active.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to better understand how visitors use TextCompareo.

Analytics helps us answer questions like:

  • Which tools are used most often?
  • Which pages need improvement?
  • How do visitors navigate the website?
  • Are there technical issues affecting users?

The information collected through Google Analytics is generally aggregated and does not identify you personally.

Google Analytics may use cookies to collect this information.

Google AdSense

To help support the ongoing development of TextCompareo, we may display advertisements through Google AdSense and other trusted advertising partners.

Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • Display relevant advertisements
  • Measure advertising performance
  • Prevent fraud
  • Improve the advertising experience

Depending on your location and privacy preferences, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to TextCompareo or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time:

When advertising is enabled, users in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland will be shown a consent message through a Google-certified Consent Management Platform where required. They can change or withdraw their choices through that platform.

Important: the current comparison engine processes pasted or selected comparison content in the browser and does not send that content to TextCompareo's application servers or advertising providers. The surrounding page may still contact hosting, analytics, security, and advertising services, which can receive browsing and device information.

You can learn more by reviewing Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Third-Party Services

TextCompareo relies on a small number of trusted service providers to help operate the website.

These may include services for:

  • Website hosting
  • Content delivery
  • Analytics
  • Advertising
  • Performance monitoring

Each provider has its own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies if you'd like more information.

Keeping Your Information Safe

Protecting user privacy is important to us.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to help keep our website secure and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

However, no website or internet service can guarantee absolute security, so we encourage users to follow good online security practices whenever sharing information online.

How Long We Keep Information

If you contact us, we keep your message only for as long as necessary to respond, improve our services, or meet legal requirements.

Anonymous website analytics may be retained for longer periods to help us understand long-term trends and improve the platform.

Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information.

These rights may include the ability to:

  • Request access to your information
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion where applicable
  • Object to certain types of processing
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

If you'd like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us and we'll do our best to assist you.

Children's Privacy

TextCompareo is intended for a general audience and is not specifically designed for children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through our website, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Links to Other Websites

Some pages on TextCompareo may contain links to third-party websites for additional information or useful resources.

Once you leave our website, the privacy practices of those websites are governed by their own policies rather than ours.

We encourage you to review their privacy policies before sharing personal information.

Updates to This Policy

As TextCompareo continues to grow, this Privacy Policy may occasionally be updated to reflect new features, improvements, or legal requirements.

Whenever we make significant changes, the updated version will be published on this page along with a revised Effective Date.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, your privacy, or how TextCompareo works, we'd be happy to hear from you.
