Is it safe to paste two versions of a confidential client contract into an online comparison tool?
With our comparison tool, yes: the whole comparison runs inside your browser on your own device, neither text is sent to a server, and nothing is saved. Even the result file you download is created by the browser itself. What remains is what happens on your side: the clipboard, a shared computer and the downloaded file.
Why the question is a fair one
Many comparison sites send your text to their server to compute the differences there, and some save the comparison under a shareable link. That is fine for public text, but not for a supply agreement with private prices or a client contract with ID or bank details in it. Before pasting sensitive text into any website, find out where the processing happens.
What happens in the ToolSahla tool
- Both texts stay in the two boxes on the page, and the page does not send their content to any server.
- The differences are computed by code running in the browser, which is also why it stops after 2.5 seconds on huge, very different texts instead of handing them to a bigger server.
- No accounts, no share links and no history of past comparisons.
- The download button writes text-diff.txt straight to your device, and the copy button puts the result on your clipboard.
A practical way to review a contract
- Open Text comparison, paste the version you agreed on in the first box and the version the other party sent in the second.
- Choose Words, which suits paragraphs: it shows the changed word inside a clause instead of flagging the whole line.
- Go through every struck-through or underlined word. Pay special attention to numbers, periods and party names.
- To keep a record, download the result and store it in the contract's own folder.
- Press Clear when you finish, especially on a shared computer.
What is still your responsibility
- The clipboard: after copying, the result stays on your clipboard until you copy something else, and some phone keyboards keep a clipboard history.
- A shared computer: the text stays on the page while it is open. Close the tab or clear both boxes.
- The downloaded file: it lands in your Downloads folder like any other file, so move or delete it according to your own policy.
- Where the text came from: if you copied the contract from email or a cloud platform, it already lives there, and the tool does not change that.
What a comparison can and cannot tell you
A comparison tells you what changed in the wording, not what it means legally. A single word such as 'may' in place of 'shall' is a tiny difference in the result but can change the whole obligation. Use the tool to find the edits, then take the ones that matter to a specialist if you need to.
Common questions
Do I need an internet connection?
To open the page, yes; the comparison itself runs on your device.
Does it work with a bilingual Arabic and English contract?
Yes, and every line is shown in its own direction.
Can I compare a PDF directly?
No, the tool compares pasted text. Extract the contract's text first with the PDF text extractor, then paste it.
