Privacy Policy | ReadMetric

Overview

ReadMetric ("we", "us", "our") operates readmetric.getinfotoyou.com, a free reading-time, speaking-time and page-count calculator. We aim to be transparent about the limited data involved in running this site. By using ReadMetric you agree to the practices described below.

Information we collect

ReadMetric does not require an account and does not ask for personal information to use the calculator. The text you paste is processed entirely in your browser and is never transmitted to or stored on our servers. We collect information in two other ways:

Data stored on your device: your theme preference (light/dark) is saved using localStorage and never leaves your device.
Usage data: like most websites, our analytics and advertising partners automatically receive standard information such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and time on page.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We and our partners use cookies to remember preferences, measure traffic and display advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies will not stop the calculator from working, but your theme preference may not be saved.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Learn more in Google's Privacy Policy.

Advertising

ReadMetric is supported by advertising. We work with third-party advertising partners that may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to serve ads and measure their performance. Our current and potential partners include:

Adsterra / HighPerformanceFormat — display advertising.
ProfitableRateCPM — native, display and social-bar advertising.
Google AdSense (if and when enabled) — contextual and interest-based advertising.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.eu.

How we use information

To operate, maintain and improve the calculator and site.
To analyze traffic and usage trends.
To display and measure advertising that keeps the service free.
To detect, prevent and address technical issues or abuse.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data, or to object to certain processing (for example under the GDPR or CCPA). Because we do not hold accounts and your text never leaves your browser, most data is controlled through your browser settings and the opt-out links above. To make a request or ask a question, contact us using the details below.

Children's privacy

ReadMetric is a general-audience tool and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Data security and retention

We do not store your pasted text or personal data on our own servers. Information processed by our analytics and advertising partners is retained according to their respective policies. Your theme preference stored in your browser remains until you clear it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
