Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 3, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Word Frequency handles information when you use our text analysis tools, word tools, contact form, advertising, analytics, and security features.
Word Frequency is designed to provide free language and text tools with limited personal data collection. We do not intentionally store the text you submit for analysis, but some features require temporary processing or third-party services to work correctly.
Information we process
- Text submitted for analysis: when you paste text into the analyzer and submit it, the text is sent to our server so we can calculate word frequency, metrics, lemmas, POS tags, KWIC examples, charts, and word cloud data.
- Contact form data: when you contact us, we process the name, email address, message, and anti-spam verification data you provide.
- Technical and usage data: our hosting, security, analytics, and advertising tools may process information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, timestamps, referring URLs, cookies, and similar identifiers.
- Game and tool interactions: features such as Word Finder, Scrabble Word Finder, Word Guess Game, sample texts, and Wikipedia Analyser may process search terms, letters, guesses, or page interactions needed to return results.
How we use information
- To provide text analysis results and related visualizations.
- To operate vocabulary, dictionary, Scrabble, game, and Wikipedia word tools.
- To respond to messages sent through the contact form.
- To protect the contact form and the website from spam, abuse, and automated traffic.
- To understand site usage, improve page quality, diagnose errors, and maintain performance.
- To display and measure advertising that helps keep the service free.
Text analysis data
Text entered into the analyzer is processed to generate the requested results. We do not intentionally save analyzed text in our database, and we do not use submitted text to create public content.
Because submitted text must be transmitted to the server to generate results, you should avoid submitting confidential documents, passwords, financial information, health information, or other sensitive personal data.
Contact messages
If you submit the contact form, we may store your name, email address, and message so we can read, manage, and respond to your request. We may also send a notification email containing your message to the site owner or support mailbox.
We keep contact messages only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain records, prevent abuse, or comply with legal obligations.
Cookies, analytics, and advertising
Word Frequency uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors use the site and to improve the service. Google Analytics may collect and process usage information through cookies and similar technologies.
Word Frequency also displays ads through Google advertising services such as Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to our site and other sites on the Internet.
You can learn how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services at Google's partner sites policy. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings or learn about additional choices at aboutads.info.
Google reCAPTCHA
The contact form may use Google reCAPTCHA to help detect spam and automated abuse. reCAPTCHA may process hardware and software information, device and application data, and interaction signals to determine whether a request appears legitimate.
Use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Google Terms of Service.
Third-party services and external content
Some features rely on third-party services, advertising networks, analytics providers, anti-spam tools, hosting infrastructure, email services, or external content sources. These third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies.
Links to external websites, such as Google resources or Wikipedia-related pages, are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.
Data retention
Analyzed text is not intentionally stored in our database. Contact messages may be retained while needed to respond or maintain reasonable records. Technical logs, analytics data, advertising data, and anti-spam signals may be retained by us or by third-party providers according to operational needs and each provider's policies.
International processing
Word Frequency and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. These countries may have data protection rules that differ from those in your location.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection to processing, or withdrawal of consent related to your personal data.
You can control cookies through your browser settings and through available Google advertising controls. You can contact us through the contact page to ask privacy-related questions or request action related to personal data you have provided.
Security
This website uses HTTPS with Transport Layer Security (TLS) to help protect information transmitted between your browser and our servers. No website or Internet transmission is completely secure, but we use reasonable measures to protect the service.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the service, legal requirements, or third-party tools change. The "Last updated" date above shows when this page was most recently revised.
