WordSnap Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 20, 2026

WordSnap (“the Extension”) helps you look up English words and subtitle lines while watching videos. This policy explains what data the Extension handles.

Data the Extension collects

• Lookup history — words and lines you select, their meanings, and timestamps. Stored locally on your device only (last 10 entries).
• Settings — your preferred translation language and onboarding preferences. Stored locally on your device.
• Selected text — when you highlight a word or line, that text is sent to third-party APIs to fetch a definition or translation.

Data the Extension does not collect

• No account or login
• No browsing history
• No personal identity information
• No analytics or tracking by the Extension developer

Third-party services

Lookups use these external APIs:

• Free Dictionary API (api.dictionaryapi.dev) — word definitions
• MyMemory Translation API (api.mymemory.translated.net) — line translations

Only the text you select is sent to these services. Review their privacy policies for how they handle requests.

Permissions

• storage — save settings and recent lookups on your device
• host permissions — call dictionary and translation APIs
• content scripts on web pages — show the caption bar and tooltip on sites you visit

Data retention and deletion

All Extension data is stored in your browser via chrome.storage.local. You can delete lookup history anytime from the Extension popup (“Clear history”). Uninstalling the Extension removes all locally stored data.

Children

The Extension is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

This policy may be updated when the Extension changes. The “Last updated” date above will reflect the latest revision.
