Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 6, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Letter Word Finder ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you visit letterwordfinder.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Letter Word Finder does not have user accounts, and we do not ask you to register or submit personal details. We collect the following:

  • Search terms. The letters, position patterns, and excluded letters you enter are sent to our server as part of the page address so that we can return results. We treat these as ordinary search terms, not personal information.
  • Server logs. Our hosting provider records standard technical information such as IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, and the date and time of each request. This is used for security, debugging, and abuse prevention.
  • Analytics and advertising data. Third-party services described below collect usage information through cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device. The Site itself does not set cookies for its core word search features, but the third-party services listed below do. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so does not prevent you from using the word finder.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how the Site is used, such as which pages are visited and how visitors arrive. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects information including your IP address, device and browser details, pages viewed, and time spent on the Site. We use this only in aggregate to improve the Site.

You can read Google's practices at policies.google.com/privacy, and you can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising and Third-Party Vendors

We display advertising to keep the Site free to use. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on the Site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and other sites on the Internet.
  • Google's use of the DoubleClick advertising cookie, and cookies set by other ad vendors, allows ads to be selected and measured across the web.
  • Third-party ad networks and vendors may set their own cookies and collect their own data. Their practices are governed by their own privacy policies, not this one.

You can control the ads you see:

How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

  • Return word search results for the letters and patterns you enter;
  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site;
  • Measure traffic and understand which features are useful;
  • Display advertising;
  • Detect and prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties except the service providers described in this policy or where required by law.

Data Retention

Server logs are retained only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting. Data held by Google Analytics and advertising vendors is retained according to their own policies, which you can review on their websites.

International Transfers

The Site and the services we use operate internationally. Information collected may be processed on servers located outside your country of residence, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Your Rights in the European Economic Area and the UK

If you are located in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation and equivalent laws give you rights over your personal data. Our legal bases for processing are our legitimate interest in operating and improving the Site and securing it against abuse, and your consent where consent is required, such as for non-essential cookies used for analytics and personalized advertising.

Subject to the conditions in the applicable law, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you;
  • Request correction of inaccurate data;
  • Request erasure of your data;
  • Request restriction of processing;
  • Object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests;
  • Request portability of data you provided to us;
  • Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing carried out beforehand;
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address at the end of this policy.

Your Rights in California

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act gives you the right to know what personal information is collected and how it is used, the right to request deletion of that information, the right to correct inaccurate information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

We do not sell personal information for money. Advertising cookies used on the Site may constitute "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. You can opt out using the advertising controls listed above, or by contacting us. Residents of other states with similar privacy laws may exercise comparable rights by contacting us.

Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect the Site, including serving all pages over an encrypted connection. No method of transmission or storage over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Links to Other Sites

The Site contains links to other websites, including links in advertisements. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
