License Validation

When you enter a license key, we validate it against our secure backend to verify your premium access. This process is necessary to provide you with the premium features you've purchased.

• Identifying and fixing bugs
• Optimizing response times
• Improving definition accuracy
• Enhancing user interface

Data Storage and Security

Local Storage

Most of your data is stored locally on your device. This includes:

• Your license key (encrypted)
• Extension settings and preferences
• Recent definitions (for quick access)

Server Storage

We store minimal data on our servers:

• License validation records (encrypted)

Security Measures

Third-Party Services

Definition APIs

Wordney uses third-party APIs to provide definitions. These services may have their own privacy policies. We only send the specific word you're looking up, not any other information about you or your browsing.

Analytics

We use anonymous analytics to understand how the extension is used and identify areas for improvement. This data cannot be used to identify individual users.
