Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 2026
At Simple Click Counter (accessible at simpleclickcounter.net), your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our online counter tools.
We believe in complete transparency. This page is designed to help you understand what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to ensure our tools work properly and to improve your experience:
- Usage Data: We automatically collect certain information about your device and how you interact with our site — including browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, time spent, and referring URLs. This is collected via Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our tools.
- Local Storage: Our counter tool saves your click count, session high, and total clicks directly in your browser’s local storage. This data never leaves your device — it is not sent to our servers or any third party.
- No Personal Information: We do not collect your name, email address, IP address, location data, or any other personally identifiable information (PII) unless you voluntarily contact us via email.
2. How We Use Your Data
The limited data we collect is used exclusively for:
- Analytics: Google Analytics helps us understand user behavior so we can improve the tool’s usability and performance.
- Tool Functionality: Local storage ensures your count persists even after you refresh or close the page, so you never lose your tally.
- Ad Display: We may use Google AdSense (or similar) to display ads. Ad partners may use cookies to serve relevant ads. See Section 4 for more details.
We never sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties. We don’t share your local storage data with anyone — because we don’t store it on our servers.
3. Cookies
Like most websites, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies:
- Essential Cookies: Some cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of our counter tool and site navigation.
- Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our site. These are anonymized and do not identify you personally.
- Ad Cookies: Third-party ad networks (like Google AdSense) may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your browsing history.
You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of our tools.
4. Third-Party Services
We use trusted third-party services to operate our website:
- Google Analytics: Tracks site usage in aggregate. Their privacy policy is available at Google Privacy Policy.
- Google AdSense: Displays advertisements. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other websites. You can opt out of personalized ads at any time via Google Ad Settings.
- Fonts & Hosting: We use Google Fonts for typography and rely on third-party hosting providers. These services may have their own privacy policies.
🔒 Your Data Stays Local: Our counter tool is entirely client-side — your clicks, session highs, and total counts are stored only in your browser’s local storage. We do not collect, store, or track your counts on any server.
5. Data Security
We take security seriously. Since we store no personal data on our servers, the risk of data breach is extremely low. We use HTTPS encryption to ensure any data transmitted between your browser and our site is secure. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location (GDPR for EU residents, CCPA for California residents, etc.), you may have the following rights:
- Access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you.
- Withdraw consent for data processing at any time.
- Request a copy of your data.
- Opt out of personalized ads via Google Ad Settings.
Since we collect no personal data, there is typically nothing to access or delete. However, if you have contacted us via email and wish to request deletion, please reach out using the contact details below.
7. Children’s Privacy
Our website and tools are intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
