Respect for privacy Privacy evaluations indicate how a tool handles personal data collection, storage, and sharing, including GDPR compliance and security measures, among others. The ICT-REV team provides them for informational purposes, reflecting our best understanding at the time of review, but assumes no legal responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of these evaluations and encourages users to conduct their own assessments: High (?). Word Search Labs collects information posted or sent on the site, credit card data, web log data, cookies, and data from third parties. Yet, providing this data is optional since the tool does not request personal information from users unless they decide to sign up or log in. In such cases, data is used to provide/improve services, combat fraud/abuse, and is not shared for marketing purposes. This is stored for business purposes and as required by law in the United States. Word Search Labs’ privacy policy lacks important information on security, among others. Word Search Labs does not state compliance with the GDPR. See more here.
