- alok-g 15y agoAuthor says that all the text processing is done within the browser. http://readable.tastefulwords.com/faq/ http://readable.tastefulwords.com/faq/ Still, not 100% sure if the URL is considered text too and is not sent anywhere.
- tastefulwords 15y agoYup; all text processing is done in the browser. URLs are tracked, though -- they would be tracked in my server logs, even if I didn't do anything specific to track them. But they are intentionally tracked -- and a percentage of them are run through an automated Readable test, every day, so that I can see, on average, how often Readable gets things wrong.
- tastefulwords 15y agoI will also be adding an option that will disable even this anonymous tracking, for those who really want/need it. However, you'll just have to take my word for it that I won't be reading the server logs -- which contain the same, if not more, data.
