Privacy policy

They stay on your device. The word list is downloaded to your browser and every query is solved there. We do not receive the letters you type, so there is nothing for us to store, log or share.

One exception, and it is visible: if you submit the form with JavaScript disabled, your letters travel in the address as ?q=… so the server can send you to the matching page. That request appears in ordinary web server logs, which we keep for a short period for security and diagnostics.

We use Google Analytics to see which pages are used and which are not. It records things like the page you viewed, your approximate location from your IP address, your device type and referrer. We use it to decide what to build next, not to identify anyone.

We do not use analytics to build advertising profiles, and we do not combine it with any other source of data about you.

This site is free and is intended to be paid for by advertising eventually. There are no ads on it today — no network, no ad scripts, nothing loaded from an advertiser. When that changes we will name the network here and say what it collects before it starts collecting anything.

We keep two things in your browser, and neither leaves it:

• Your theme choice — light or dark — so the site does not reset every visit.
• The cached word list, held by your browser's normal file cache so the tool loads instantly next time.

Clearing your browser's site data removes both. Neither is a tracking cookie and neither identifies you.

There is no account to delete and no profile to export, because we do not build one. For the analytics data described above you can:

• Use your browser's "do not track" or an ad blocker — we do not work around either.
• Install Google's analytics opt-out, which stops the measurement at source.
• Email us to ask what we hold about a particular visit.
