Privacy Policy for The FreeTalk Chrome Extension (FTX)

Effective Date: October 18, 2025

FreeTalk.fun values your privacy. This extension interacts with the FreeTalk Dictionary API (https://dictionary.freetalk.fun) only to fetch word definitions and meanings. It does not collect, store, or share any personal or identifiable information.

What Data Is Collected

When the extension makes a dictionary lookup (GET request), standard technical request logs are automatically generated by AWS infrastructure (API Gateway, CloudFront). These logs may include:

The word you search for (term in the query)
IP address (for rate limiting and abuse prevention)
Timestamp
HTTP method and response status
Browser/extension User-Agent
Latency and response size

No names, emails, authentication tokens, or other identifiers are collected.

How This Data Is Used

To serve definitions and operate the service
To protect the API from abuse (rate limiting, security filtering)
To monitor uptime and performance
To generate aggregate, anonymous usage metrics

All logs are ephemeral and retained only for short operational periods (typically 30–90 days).

What’s Not Collected or Stored

No personal data
No cookies or local storage
No analytics tracking or ad identifiers
No information shared with third parties

Permissions

This extension:

Uses no special permissions beyond standard Chrome installation requirements.
Accesses only the FreeTalk Dictionary API to retrieve word data.
Runs entirely client-side — no background data collection occurs.

Future Updates

Future versions may introduce optional features (e.g., saved history or user accounts). If that happens, this policy will be updated to clearly describe the changes before release.
