Our Privacy Principles
1. No Account Required & Free Access
You can freely browse all slang entries, explore countries, and search the dictionary without creating an account or providing personal details.
2. No Data Brokers
We do not sell your personal information to data brokers, and we do not rent or trade visitor data. This site is supported by advertising: Google may use cookies to serve and measure ads, as described in the "Advertising & Cookies" section below. You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time.
3. Direct & Transparent Communication
If you reach out to us by email, your message is used solely to answer your questions or review term suggestions.
Information We Collect
We collect only the bare minimum information required to deliver, secure, and maintain the website:
A. Anonymous Technical & Log Data
When you visit our site, our hosting infrastructure automatically records non-identifying technical diagnostic logs (such as request timestamps, browser user agent, operating system, requested page URLs, and anonymized IP addresses). This data is strictly used for server performance monitoring, debugging, and blocking malicious scraping.
B. Client-Side Preferences
When you toggle between light and dark theme, your selection is stored locally in your browser’s localStorage. This data remains on your personal device and is never transmitted to our servers.
C. Direct Email Correspondence
If you email our team, we receive your email address, name (if provided), and message details. We retain this communication only as long as needed to address your feedback or update our dictionary.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Slang Words Online is designed with a strict privacy-first architecture:
- Advertising & Cookies: Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
- No First-Party Fingerprinting or Profiling: Slang Words Online itself does not build browsing profiles or attempt to identify individual visitors. Third-party advertising vendors may independently use cookies for ad personalization, as described above.
- Functional Local Storage: We use minimal client-side browser storage solely to preserve your visual theme preference (light or dark mode) so the site remains comfortable to read.
Policy Updates
We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect minor website improvements or operational changes. Any updates will always be published directly on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
