GDPR Compliance

Last Updated: July 2026

At Simple Click Counter (accessible at simpleclickcounter.net), we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679.

This page explains how we comply with GDPR requirements, what data we process, and your rights as a data subject. We believe in complete transparency and respect for your privacy.

✅ GDPR Compliant We collect minimal data: Our counter tool stores everything locally in your browser. We never collect, store, or process your personal data on our servers.

Data Controller: Simple Click Counter
Email: privacy@simpleclickcounter.net
Website: simpleclickcounter.net

If you have any questions about how we process your data or wish to exercise your rights under GDPR, please contact us using the details above.

2. Lawful Basis for Processing

Under GDPR, we process data based on the following lawful bases:

  • Legitimate Interest (Article 6(1)(f)): We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve our tools and user experience. We have conducted a legitimate interest assessment and determined that our analytics processing does not override your rights and freedoms.
  • Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): For cookies and advertising (Google AdSense), we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
  • Contract (Article 6(1)(b)): When you use our counter tool, we process necessary data (local storage) to provide the functionality you request.

3. Data We Process

We process the following categories of data:

  • Local Storage Data (Client-Side): Your click count, session high, and total clicks are stored exclusively in your browser’s local storage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
  • Analytics Data (Google Analytics): We collect anonymous usage data including pages visited, time spent, device type, and referral sources. This data is collected via Google Analytics and is aggregated and anonymized.
  • Advertising Data (Google AdSense): Cookies may be used by Google to serve relevant advertisements based on your browsing history.
  • Contact Information: If you contact us via email, we may store your email address and message to respond to your inquiry. This data is stored securely and deleted after 30 days.

4. Your Data Subject Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

1. Right to Access You have the right to request a copy of all personal data we hold about you.
2. Right to Rectification You can request corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete data we hold.
3. Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”) You can request deletion of your personal data when it’s no longer needed.
4. Right to Restrict Processing You can request that we limit how we use your personal data.
5. Right to Data Portability You can request a copy of your data in a machine-readable format.
6. Right to Object You can object to our processing of your data for legitimate interests, marketing, or profiling.

Since we collect minimal personal data, most of these rights may not apply to your use of our counter tool. However, if you have contacted us via email and wish to exercise your rights, please reach out to us.

5. Data Storage and Retention

We retain your data as follows:

  • Local Storage Data: Stored indefinitely in your browser until you clear it manually or your browser expires it.
  • Analytics Data (Google Analytics): Google retains aggregated data for up to 26 months before automatically deleting it.
  • Email Inquiries: We retain email correspondence for 30 days before permanently deleting it.
  • Cookies: Duration varies by cookie type (see our Cookie Policy for details).

6. Data Security

We take data security seriously. Our security measures include:

  • HTTPS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our site is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS.
  • No Server Storage: Your counts are never stored on our servers, reducing the risk of data breaches.
  • Minimal Data Collection: We collect only the data necessary for the website to function properly.
  • Third-Party Security: We use trusted third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) that comply with GDPR requirements.

7. International Data Transfers

Simple Click Counter is a global website. While we are based in Pakistan, we use third-party services that may store data internationally. Specifically:

  • Google Analytics and AdSense: Data may be stored on Google’s servers worldwide. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
  • Your Local Storage: Data remains exclusively on your device, wherever you are located.

We rely on Google’s compliance with international data transfer mechanisms to ensure your data is protected.

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer to oversee our GDPR compliance. You can contact our DPO at:

Our website and tools are intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 years old. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

10. Supervisory Authority
