Privacy
What this site collects.
Short version: no analytics, no cookies, no accounts, no newsletter. The one thing that leaves your browser is text you choose to translate.
No tracking
This site runs no analytics and no advertising or social trackers. There is no Google Analytics, no Tag Manager, no pixel. It sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser — no local storage, no session storage. There are no accounts to create and no email list to join, so there is nothing here to sign up to.
The dictionary, phrasebook and Word of the Day are static pages. Reading them sends us nothing beyond the ordinary web request needed to deliver the page.
Search
Dictionary search runs entirely inside your browser. The word list is downloaded once and matched locally, so what you type into the search box is never sent anywhere — not to us, not to anyone else.
The translator
This is the one part of the site that transmits what you type. When you press translate, the text is sent to our server and on to a language model to produce the translation: Anthropic normally, and Cloudflare Workers AI as a fallback when the first is unavailable.
We do not store your translations, keep a history, or link them to you. But because the text does leave your device and is handled by those providers under their own policies, do not put personal, confidential or sensitive information into the translator. Translate the sentence, not the private details in it.
Abuse prevention
To stop the translator being used to run up bills, the server counts how many translation requests come from an IP address within a sixty-second window and refuses the excess. That rolling count is all that is kept, it expires with the window, and it is not connected to what was translated or used for any other purpose.
Hosting
The site is served by Cloudflare, which processes standard request data such as IP address and user agent to deliver pages and protect against attacks, as any web host does.
Links out
Some entries link to RebelOneMart, the store that funds and maintains this dictionary. Those are ordinary links. Following one takes you to a separate site with its own privacy policy and its own cookies; nothing about you is passed along from here.
