Word Builder – Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 5, 2026

Word Builder ("the extension") helps you save words you meet while browsing and review them later. This policy explains what data the extension handles.

What the extension stores

When you save a word, the extension stores on your own device, inside Chrome's extension storage:

• the word or short phrase you selected,
• its meaning, definitions and pronunciation (if found),
• any notes you type, and your review history (when each word is next due).

Your settings (languages, review options) are stored with Chrome sync storage, so Chrome may sync them between your own signed-in browsers. Your word list is stored locally only.

The developer does not run any server and never receives, sees, sells or shares your data. There are no accounts, analytics, ads or tracking.

What is sent to third parties

To look up a meaning, the extension sends only the selected word to these free services:

• Free Dictionary API (api.dictionaryapi.dev) for English definitions and pronunciation.
• English Wiktionary (en.wiktionary.org) for definitions the Free Dictionary doesn't have.
• MyMemory (api.mymemory.translated.net) for translations.

Page addresses, page content and your notebook are never sent. These services have their own privacy policies.

The extension reads the page only when you ask it to save a word (right-click menu or keyboard shortcut), and only to get the text you selected.

Your control

• Edit or delete any word from the notebook.
• Delete everything in Settings → "Delete all words".
• Export your words at any time (CSV, Anki, JSON).
• Uninstalling the extension removes all its stored data.

Children

The extension does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new date.
