Word of the Day (Chrome Extension) Privacy Policy
1. What We Collect
The "Word of the Day: Wordure Vocabulary Builder" Chrome extension does not collect any personal data. It has no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind. No information about you or your browsing activity is ever sent to us, or to any third party, by the extension itself.
2. What the Extension Stores Locally
The extension uses Chrome's local storage (chrome.storage.local) to cache a small amount of data entirely on your own device, so that reopening the popup doesn't require refetching data every time. This includes:
- The current word of the day, and its definition, pronunciation, and example content
- The list of word paths used to pick the daily word
- The date you last opened the popup, used only to clear the "new word" badge on the toolbar icon
None of this data is transmitted to us. It stays on your device and is removed automatically if you uninstall the extension.
3. Permissions We Use
- Host permission for wordure.com: used to fetch the word of the day content shown in the popup, the same public content available on the wordure.com website.
- storage: used only for the local caching described above.
- alarms: used to refresh the "new word" badge on the extension icon once a day. This permission does not make network requests on its own.
4. Third-Party Services
wordure.com: the extension fetches word content from wordure.com over HTTPS, the same public data used on the website. See the wordure.com Privacy Policy for how the site itself is hosted and secured.
Google Play: the popup includes a link (and QR code) to the LangBlitz app on the Google Play Store. Following this link takes you to Google's platform, governed by Google's own privacy policy. The link includes standard campaign parameters (UTM tags) used only to measure installs coming from the extension; no personal data is included in or collected through this link.
5. Children's Privacy
The extension is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children, and as noted above, the extension does not collect personal information from anyone.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy if the extension's data practices ever change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes, and any material change in what data is collected will be disclosed here before it takes effect.
