This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit 5WordFinder (5wordfinder.com), how it is used, and the choices you have. 5WordFinder is a free word finder that lets you search five-letter words by starting letter, ending letter or contained letters, plus word lists, an anagram solver, a Wordle helper and a practice word game.
5WordFinder ("we", "us", "our") is operated by an individual, not by a registered company. We are the data controller responsible for the personal information described in this policy. You can contact us at any time at privacy@5wordfinder.com.
Our search tools and game run entirely in your web browser. The letters you enter are processed on your device and are not uploaded to our servers. This includes the letters and patterns you enter into our search tools.
Like most websites, when you visit 5WordFinder some information is collected automatically by our service providers:
If you email us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message. We use it only to reply to you.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use them for these purposes:
_ga and _ga_*) that help us understand how visitors use the website.We also store a small amount of information directly in your browser (local storage). It never leaves your device and we cannot see it:
You can delete it at any time by clearing your browser's site data.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Most of the website will keep working, but some features, such as remembered preferences, may not.
To keep 5WordFinder free, we display, or may display, advertisements served by third-party advertising partners, such as Google. Our partners may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide ads that may interest you.
If you opt out, you will still see ads, but they will be less relevant to you. We do not control the cookies used by advertisers; please check their privacy policies for details. We will list the specific advertising partners we work with in this section.
We do not sell your personal information for money, and we never ask for sensitive information such as passwords or payment details.
Where data protection laws such as the GDPR apply, we rely on: your consent for analytics and advertising cookies (which you can withdraw at any time through the cookie settings link on our website or your browser); our legitimate interests in operating a secure, reliable website (for example Cloudflare security processing); and your request when we reply to your messages.
We share information only with service providers that help us run the website:
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users or the website.
Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, these transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict its use, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To use these rights, email privacy@5wordfinder.com. We will respond within 30 days. If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Under California law (CCPA/CPRA), you have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request its deletion, to correct it, and to opt out of the "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can opt out of personalised advertising using the links in section 5 or by emailing us. We will not discriminate against you for using these rights.
5WordFinder is a general-audience website and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA and UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
The website is served only over encrypted HTTPS connections and protected by Cloudflare. Because our tools run in your browser, the information you type into them is not transmitted to us. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect information.
We may update this policy from time to time, for example when we add new features or advertising partners. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
