Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 14, 2026

At Textscompare, privacy isn’t a feature, it’s the foundation of how our tools are built.

Unlike many online document platforms, your files are never uploaded to our servers. Every comparison, merge, and document process happens directly inside your browser. Your content stays on your device, under your control.

This Privacy Policy explains what limited information we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

How Textscompare Protects Your Documents

Our tools use client-side processing technology. That means:

  • Your files never leave your device
  • We cannot see your documents
  • We do not store or analyze your content
  • No document data is transmitted to our servers

This architecture dramatically reduces privacy risks and eliminates common server-side exposure concerns.

If privacy matters to you, this difference matters.

The Personal Data We Actually Collect (Very Limited)

We collect only the information necessary to operate and improve our service.

1. When You Contact Us

If you email us at [email protected], we receive:

  • Your name (if provided)
  • Your email address
  • The contents of your message

We use this information only to respond to your inquiry.

Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6): Legitimate interest and/or performance of a contract.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

2. Basic Technical Information

To keep Textscompare fast, stable, and secure, we may collect limited technical data such as:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited
  • Time spent on pages
  • Referring website
  • Approximate country or city location

This data:

  • Does not include your document contents
  • Is aggregated or pseudonymized
  • Is used only for performance, security, and improvement

Legal basis: Legitimate interest.

What We Do NOT Do

To be clear:

We do not upload your files
We do not store your documents
We do not scan your content
We do not monetize your data
We do not sell personal information

Your documents remain yours, always.

Cookies and Transparency

We may use cookies to:

  • Enable essential website functionality
  • Understand general usage patterns
  • Improve performance

Where required under EU law, we request your consent before using non-essential cookies.

You remain in control and can modify cookie preferences through your browser at any time.

How Long We Keep Data

We retain personal data only as long as necessary:

  • Email communications: retained for support and record-keeping purposes
  • Analytics data: retained in aggregated or anonymized form

Since your documents never reach our systems, we do not retain file content at all.

Trusted Service Providers

We may use reputable third-party providers for hosting or analytics. When we do:

  • We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place
  • We use Data Processing Agreements where required
  • We implement GDPR-compliant transfer mechanisms for international data transfers

We choose partners carefully and prioritize security.

Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the EU, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Request data portability
  • Withdraw consent at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority

To exercise your rights, contact:
[email protected]

We will respond in accordance with applicable GDPR requirements.

Security Measures

Our strongest security measure is architectural: your documents never reach us.

For the limited personal data we do process, we apply appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

Children's Privacy

Textscompare is not intended for individuals under 16 years of age within the European Union. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Updates to This Policy

As Textscompare evolves, we may update this policy to reflect improvements or regulatory changes. Updates will be posted here with a revised “Last Updated” date.
