Privacy policy
Last updated: April 24, 2026
1. Overview
At TextFileCompare.com, we respect your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), Google AdSense policies, and Ezoic requirements.
2. Information we collect
- Personal data: We do not collect or store any personally identifiable information.
- User content: Text you input is processed entirely in your browser. It is never uploaded or stored on our servers.
3. Cookies & local storage
We use localStorage to remember your theme and language preferences. Third-party partners (Google AdSense, Ezoic) may use cookies for ad personalisation and analytics. Control ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com.
4. Google AdSense
We display Google-served ads. Google may use cookies to personalise ads. See Google's ad privacy policy.
5. Ezoic
This site uses Ezoic for personalisation and analytics.
6. Microsoft Clarity
We temporarily use Microsoft Clarity, a behavioural analytics tool, to help us identify and fix performance issues on this site. Clarity may record session replays and heatmaps to show how pages are being used.
This is a temporary measure for diagnostic purposes only. No text you enter into the comparison tool is captured — all comparison activity runs entirely in your browser and is never transmitted. Clarity data is used solely to improve site performance and will not be shared with third parties or used for advertising.
For more information, see Microsoft's privacy statement.
7. Data security
All comparisons run locally. No data is transmitted to our servers. We use HTTPS for all connections.
8. Your rights
- GDPR (EU): You have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data — though we store none.
- CCPA (California): You may request disclosure of personal data we collect — which is none.
9. Children's privacy
We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. This site is for general audiences.
10. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will appear on this page with a revised date.
