It's become a cliché in privacy policies: "Your privacy is important to us." Unfortunately what they often fail to mention is and your data is what we profit from.

We'll skip the platitudes and legalese and get straight to the point.

How we protect your privacy:

• We don't display tracking ads. As of now there are no ads on this site, and if we allow advertising in the future the ads will be non-tracking.
• We don't use 3rd party site analytics that feed tracking aggregators. Our website hosting provider does collect very rudimentary stats on site visitors. These stats are purged monthy.
• Sites with good privacy polices are given preference on our vocabulary section while completely excluding sites with horrible privacy practices. You can read more about that here.
• There is a login button which implies there are users who log in and thus we have their data. As of today (site launch) there is not much code behind that login button. In the future we may offer a login for users to test a beta version of the site, but right now the login button is just a decoration. Needless to say if we do decide to eventually activate that login function, data would not be shared with any third parties.

Our cookie policy

We set session cookies for the convenience of the user. These are not tracking cookies. We found the site irritating to browse without session cookies; you would too*. If you wish, install the cookie autodelete (or similar) add-on to automatically purge website cookies from your browser—including the cookies set by ajvocab.com. Otherwise you can set your browser's cookie preferences however you wish.

Updates

If we make any substantial changes to these policies we will post the modifications on this page. If you have questions or concerns regarding this privacy policy please contact us.
