Privacy

The short version: your documents never leave your computer, and these websites don't track you.

Your documents never leave your computer

WCopyfind and WRepeatfind read and compare your files right where they are, on your own PC. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored in the cloud, and no one else's computer ever sees your text. There's no account to create and nothing to sign in to, and the programs work without an internet connection.

That makes them safe for the documents that matter most: student papers, unpublished manuscripts, theses, legal and business files, and anything confidential. Many online plagiarism checkers keep a copy of every paper submitted to them. These programs keep nothing, because they never receive anything.

The one exception is by your choice: if you add an internet shortcut to WCopyfind, it downloads that web page to compare it. It never sends your documents anywhere. Read the full privacy statement.

The programs

WCopyfind and WRepeatfind are ordinary Windows programs that run entirely on your own PC.

• Your documents stay where they are. The programs open your files, read their text into memory, compare it, and write a report. They do not upload, transmit, or share your documents or their contents with anyone.
• Reports are saved on your computer. Reports are web pages saved in a folder you choose (by default, a folder in your Documents). Your web browser opens them from your own disk; they are not published online.
• No account, no sign-in, no telemetry. The programs don't collect usage statistics, check for updates, or contact any server.
• Settings stay local. Your settings and document lists are saved in your Windows user profile so the programs remember them next time.
• The one exception is your choice. WCopyfind can compare a web page if you give it an internet shortcut (a .url file). In that case it downloads that page, just as a web browser would, in order to read it. It never sends your documents anywhere. WRepeatfind doesn't use the internet at all.

You don't have to take our word for it: both programs are open source, and anyone can read exactly what they do in the source code on GitHub.

These websites

• WFindApps.org, WCopyfind.WFindApps.org, and WRepeatfind.WFindApps.org are plain informational websites. They use no cookies, no advertising, and no analytics or tracking scripts, and they have no forms that collect personal information.
• Like every web server, ours keeps standard access logs (such as the address that requested a page, the time, and the browser type) for security and to keep the sites running. These logs aren't sold or shared, and they're not combined with any other information about you.
• The program downloads are served by GitHub, which has its own privacy statement.
