Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
Your text never leaves your browser
Text Dedupe is a browser-only application. Every feature, including pasting text, uploading a file, removing duplicates, sorting, searching, and exporting, runs locally on your device using JavaScript and a Web Worker. We don't operate a backend that receives, stores, or processes the text you work with. We have no way to see your input, even if we wanted to.
What we store in your browser
To make it convenient to resume your work, the tool saves your current input text, output, and selected options to your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device, is never transmitted to us or any third party, and can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.
Analytics and cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic to this website, such as page views and which pages are popular. Google Analytics sets cookies and may collect standard technical data like your approximate location, browser, and device type. It never receives the text you paste, upload, or process with the tool, since that data never leaves your browser in the first place. We do not use tracking cookies to build advertising profiles, and you can block Google Analytics with a browser extension or privacy setting without affecting how the tool works.
Third-party services
This website is hosted by a standard static-hosting provider, which may log basic, anonymized request metadata (such as IP address and request time) for security and reliability purposes, consistent with normal web server operation. That logging happens at the hosting layer and is unrelated to the contents of any text you process with the tool.
Children's privacy
This tool does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, because it does not collect personal information from anyone at all.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date. Continued use of the tool after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
