Privacy Policy
100% browser-based processing with zero data collection
Last Updated: April 11, 2025
At Textcompare, we've built a fundamentally different kind of text comparison tool. Unlike conventional web applications, Textcompare operates entirely within your browser and collects absolutely no data. This Privacy Policy explains our unique zero-collection approach.
Complete privacy by design: Textcompare processes everything in your browser. Your text never leaves your device, we maintain no servers that store your data, and we collect absolutely nothing about you or your usage.
Our Zero-Collection Commitment
Textcompare is built on a simple principle: your data belongs to you alone. Here's our approach:
We collect absolutely nothing. No personal information. No usage data. No analytics. No cookies. Nothing.
What This Means For You
- No Accounts or Registration: Textcompare works without requiring you to create an account or provide any personal information.
- No Analytics or Tracking: We do not use analytics tools, tracking pixels, or any technology that monitors your behavior.
- No Cookies: Textcompare does not use cookies or any browser storage to track you across sessions.
- No Server Processing: All text comparison happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.
- No Data Storage: Since we don't collect any data, there's nothing to store or secure on our end.
How Textcompare Works
Understanding how Textcompare works helps explain our unique privacy approach:
Pure Browser-Based Processing
When you load Textcompare, your browser downloads the complete application code. All text comparison operations then run locally in your browser's JavaScript engine. Your text never leaves your device.
Static Website Architecture
Textcompare is a static website with no server-side processing. There are no databases, user accounts, or server-side storage of any kind that could contain your information.
No Network Requests
Once loaded, Textcompare does not make additional network requests when you perform comparisons. Your text is never transmitted anywhere, even back to our servers.
No Local Storage
We do not use browser storage features (localStorage, sessionStorage, etc.) to save your text or preferences between sessions.
Your Data Stays With You
Since we don't collect any data, we:
- Cannot share your information: We have no data to share with advertisers, partners, or any third parties.
- Cannot respond to data requests: We have no data to provide in response to legal requests, simply because we don't collect or store anything.
- Cannot experience data breaches: With no databases or stored user information, there's nothing for attackers to steal.
- Cannot sell your data: We have no data to sell, now or in the future.
Complete isolation: Your text never leaves your browser tab. Even we have no way to access it.
Additional Privacy Considerations
External Websites
Textcompare may contain links to external websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to Textcompare, and not to any linked websites which will have their own privacy policies.
Browser Extensions
Browser extensions installed on your computer may have their own data collection practices that operate independently of our website. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any browser extensions you use.
Future Changes
If we ever change our approach to privacy or data collection, we will update this Privacy Policy and prominently notify users on our homepage before implementing any changes.
GDPR, CCPA, and Other Privacy Regulations
Textcompare is inherently compliant with all privacy regulations worldwide because we simply don't collect any personal data. There is no need to:
- Request access to your data (we have none)
- Request deletion of your data (we store nothing)
- Opt out of data sharing (we share nothing)
- Configure privacy preferences (there's nothing to configure)

Our Zero-Data Architecture
Why our approach is fundamentally different
100% Client-Side Processing
All comparison algorithms run entirely in your browser's JavaScript engine. Nothing is sent to any server for processing.
No Tracking Code
We don't include any analytics, tracking pixels, or monitoring scripts that are standard on most websites.
Static Delivery
Our application is delivered as static files with no dynamic server-side processing, databases, or user accounts.
No Browser Storage
We don't use cookies, localStorage, or any other browser storage mechanism to save your data or track your activity.
Security By Design
Our approach eliminates common security concerns
No Attack Surface
With no user accounts, databases, or stored information, there's literally nothing for attackers to target.
Immune to Data Breaches
You can't lose what you don't have. Our zero-collection model means even a complete compromise of our infrastructure wouldn't expose any user data.
No Third-Party Risk
We don't share your data with third parties because we don't have any data to share. This eliminates supply-chain vulnerabilities.
Transparent Operation
Our client-side processing means the application code runs right on your device where you can verify its operation.
Perfect for Sensitive Comparisons
Our zero-collection approach makes Textcompare ideal for sensitive content
Legal Documents
Compare confidential legal contracts and agreements without exposing sensitive client information to third parties.
Financial Reports
Safely compare financial documents containing proprietary business data or personal financial information.
Intellectual Property
Compare patent drafts, proprietary code, or unreleased creative works without risk of exposure.
Personal Information
Compare documents containing personal or sensitive information such as health records or personal identifiers.
Privacy FAQ
How can you provide this service without collecting any data?
Textcompare uses modern browser capabilities to run sophisticated text comparison algorithms entirely on your device. This client-side processing approach means we don't need servers to process your text or store your information.
Is there any information transmitted over the internet when I use Textcompare?
The only data transmitted is the initial download of our static website files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) when you first visit the site. After that, all text processing happens locally in your browser with no further network communication.
What if I need to save my comparison results?
You can export your comparison results using the export button. The exported file is created entirely in your browser and saved directly to your device. We never see the exported content.
How do you improve your service without analytics?
We focus on direct user feedback and testing rather than passive data collection. While this is more challenging, we believe it's the right approach for a privacy-focused tool.
Are there any limitations to this privacy-focused approach?
The main limitation is that any preferences or settings are reset when you close your browser since we don't store this information. However, we believe this small inconvenience is worth the significant privacy benefits.
Does your privacy approach work on all browsers?
Yes, Textcompare works on all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) while maintaining the same zero-collection privacy model. No browser extensions or special configurations are required.
