Privacy Policy — Word Koala
Last Updated: November 3, 2025
Product: Word Koala (Browser Extension & Website)
Introduction
Word Koala (“we”, “our”, or “us”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the Word Koala browser extension and the Word Koala website. We designed Word Koala to respect your privacy. We do not collect, store, sell, or share personal data.
Information We Collect
Browser Extension
- The extension does not collect personal information.
- It does not track your browsing history.
- It does not send webpage content to our servers.
- It does not use analytics or advertising cookies.
- It does not sell or share data with third parties.
The extension runs locally on your device and only processes words you interact with to provide synonyms and definitions. If an online dictionary lookup is used, only the queried word is sent—never your page content or identity.
Website
Our website may collect standard, non-personal analytics (e.g., anonymous traffic statistics) to maintain performance. We do not collect names, email addresses, or login information unless you voluntarily contact us.

activeTab |

| Host permissions | Allow synonym lookup on pages you choose | None |

How We Use Information
If any usage data is collected (e.g., anonymous site analytics), it is used only to improve functionality and maintain performance and stability. We never use data for advertising or profiling.
Third-Party Services
If dictionary APIs are used, only the word entered is sent—not browsing content or personal data. We do not partner with ad networks or data brokers.
Children’s Privacy
Word Koala does not knowingly collect personal information from children. The product is safe for all ages.
Data Security
Because we do not collect personal data, we do not hold user information. Extension data remains on your device.
Your Rights
Since we do not store personal data, there is nothing to access, delete, or share. You are in control of your browser data.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy periodically. Any changes will be posted here with an updated “Last Updated” date.
