Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2025

    Short version: 5WordFinder does not collect your personal data. All word searches happen in your browser. We don't store what you search for, and we don't sell data to anyone.
  

1. Who We Are

5WordFinder ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at 5wordfinder.com — a free word finder tool for Wordle, Scrabble, and word games. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at hello@5wordfinder.com.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect minimal data to keep the site running:

Usage data — pages visited, time spent on pages, browser type, and device type. This is collected anonymously through analytics (see Section 4). We cannot identify you personally from this data.
Server logs — standard web server logs including IP addresses, which are automatically collected by our hosting provider (Cloudflare). These are used for security and performance and are not used for advertising.

We do not collect: your name, email address, location, or any personal information unless you contact us directly.

3. How Word Searches Work

All word searching on 5WordFinder happens entirely in your browser. When you search for a word, your browser downloads a small word list file from our server (for example, a list of words starting with S). The filtering and matching happens on your device — your search terms are never sent to our servers and are never logged or stored anywhere.

4. Analytics

We may use a privacy-friendly analytics tool to understand how people use the site — for example, which pages are most popular and where visitors come from. Any analytics we use:

Does not track you across other websites
Does not use advertising cookies
Collects data anonymously and in aggregate only

If we add Google Analytics or a similar service in the future, we will update this policy to reflect that.

5. Cookies

5WordFinder does not currently use cookies for tracking or advertising. Your browser may cache word list files locally to speed up repeat visits — this is standard browser behaviour and not a tracking cookie.

6. Third-Party Services

Our website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect anonymised traffic data as part of their hosting service. You can read Cloudflare's privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

We use Google Fonts to load typography. Google may receive your IP address when fonts are loaded. You can read Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

7. Advertising

We may display advertisements on the site in the future (such as Google AdSense). If we do, this policy will be updated to explain how advertising cookies work and how to opt out. Currently, 5WordFinder displays no advertising.

8. Children's Privacy

5WordFinder is a general-purpose word tool suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, there is typically nothing to access, correct, or delete. If you have contacted us by email and would like that correspondence deleted, simply email us at hello@5wordfinder.com and we'll take care of it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of 5WordFinder after any changes means you accept the updated policy.
