Privacy Policy

This policy explains what data Wordilizer processes, why it is needed, who may receive it, and the choices available to you.

1. Controller and contact

The controller responsible for Wordilizer is Jan Berlinger, 8044 Zürich, Switzerland. Privacy requests can be sent to hello@wordilizer.com.

2. Data processed when you use Wordilizer

Word searches

Letters, patterns, and filters that you enter are sent to Wordilizer's search endpoint so that matching words can be returned. Wordilizer does not store these searches in an application database. Because search parameters are part of request URLs, they may appear temporarily in technical access or security logs maintained by the hosting infrastructure.

Technical access and security data

When a page or search endpoint is requested, the hosting infrastructure may process the IP address, date and time, requested URL, response status, referrer, browser and device information, and security signals. This is necessary to deliver the site, diagnose faults, prevent abuse, and maintain service security.

Messages sent by email

If you contact Wordilizer, the email address, message content, attachments, and related correspondence are processed to answer the request and maintain any records required for security or legal reasons. Wordilizer does not currently operate a web contact form.

3. Hosting and service providers

Wordilizer is deployed directly to Cloudflare Workers. Cloudflare processes technical request and security data on Wordilizer's behalf to deliver and protect the service. Its infrastructure may operate in Switzerland, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the United States, or other countries. Provider contractual and technical safeguards apply to international processing. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Wordilizer uses Google's Privacy & Messaging consent platform for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Depending on your region, consent choice, and Google's advertising configuration, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar local-storage technologies. Hosting and security infrastructure may also use essential storage where required to deliver and protect the service.

The permanent Cookie settings control in the footer opens Google's consent revocation flow when it is available for the current visitor. This allows consent choices to be reviewed or changed later.

5. Google AdSense and Privacy & Messaging

Wordilizer uses Google AdSense and Google's certified Privacy & Messaging consent platform with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. The AdSense tag is loaded only on selected substantive editorial and word-tool pages. It is not loaded on this privacy policy, other legal and contact pages, generic generated word-list combinations, or unknown routes.

Google and its advertising partners may process consent choices, online identifiers, IP address, browser and device information, approximate location, and advertising interactions to select, deliver, measure, secure, and, where consented, personalize advertising. The consent interface provides consent, refusal, and management options. The participating advertising providers and purposes are shown in the consent interface. See Google's Privacy Policy.

6. Analytics

Wordilizer uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is found and used and to improve its content and tools. Google Analytics may process page views, referring and requested URLs, approximate location, IP address, browser and device information, online identifiers, and interaction and diagnostic data. Where consent is required, Analytics storage and related processing are governed by the choices available through Google's consent interface. See Google's Privacy Policy.

Wordilizer's own provider-neutral interface events continue to be emitted only inside the visitor's browser and are not transmitted to Google Analytics.

7. Retention

Word searches are not retained in an application database. Technical logs are kept only for the periods configured by the hosting provider or account administrator for operations, security, and abuse prevention. Contact correspondence is retained until the request is resolved and for as long as reasonably required to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Consent records, advertising data, and Analytics data are retained under the applicable Google CMP, AdSense, Analytics property, and account configuration.

8. Recipients and international transfers

Data is disclosed only where needed to hosting, security, email, consent-management, analytics, and advertising providers, or where required by law. Providers may process data outside Switzerland. Wordilizer relies on an adequacy decision, contractual safeguards, or another permitted mechanism where required.

9. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request information about your personal data, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or object to processing. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal. Send requests to hello@wordilizer.com. You may also contact the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

10. Changes

This policy will be updated when hosting, advertising, analytics, contact channels, or data practices change. The date at the top identifies the current version.
