Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Requests to the website include technical information such as an IP address, requested URL, and browser request headers. Hosting and access protection services may process this information. Application logs can record the requested word and whether an entry was found.

The site does not offer user accounts, newsletter subscriptions, or contact forms. The search field is intended for words, not personal or sensitive information.

Search and Browsing

Exact lookup and suggestions match your input against word index files in your browser. The browser requests those files from this website; it does not send the entered text to an external search engine. The files requested can indicate a portion of the word catalogue you are exploring.

Opening an entry puts its word in the page URL. That URL can appear in browser history and technical logs. Search therefore does not make your browsing anonymous.

How Information Is Used

Technical information supports delivery of pages and index files, access controls, and diagnosis of availability and rendering problems. Search input is used to find matching words and display suggestions.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The application does not set advertising or analytics cookies, or save search history in localStorage or sessionStorage. Search keeps index data in memory, and your browser may cache downloaded files. Hosting or access protection services may use their own cookies; this is not a claim that every response is cookie-free.

Analytics

The website application does not currently integrate Google Analytics or another visitor analytics script. Technical hosting logs are separate from visitor analytics.

Advertising

The website does not currently integrate Google AdSense or serve advertisements. No advertising consent banner or Consent Mode integration is currently implemented. Any future advertising or analytics integration requires a separate privacy assessment and an update to this policy before activation.

Third-Party Services

Vercel provides website hosting and delivery. Cloudflare R2 stores word documents that the application reads on the server; your browser does not receive storage credentials. These infrastructure services process requests as part of delivering the website.

If you follow a link to another website, its own privacy practices apply. This policy covers AZ Meanings, not websites operated by others.

Data Retention

The application does not maintain a user account database or a saved search history. Technical log retention depends on hosting and operational settings; this policy does not specify a verified retention period for those logs. Browser history and cached files remain subject to your browser settings.

Security

Access controls and server-side storage credentials help protect the service. No method of transmission or storage can guarantee absolute security. Avoid entering personal or sensitive information in the word search field.

Your Privacy Choices

You can use browser settings to manage cookies, cached files, and browsing history. Blocking cookies may affect access protection. Clearing browser data does not delete information held in hosting logs.

Children’s Privacy

The site offers word reference information without registration or a form for submitting personal details. Children should not enter names, contact details, or other personal information in search. Technical requests are handled as described above, regardless of a visitor’s age.

Changes to This Policy

Changes to the website’s information practices will be reflected on this page. Review this policy when using new features.
