Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 10, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how LexiFinder collects, uses, stores and protects personal information when you visit https://www.lexifinder.com, use our word tools or contact us. LexiFinder is designed to be used without creating an account.
1. Data Controller
Controller: BIGBANG MEDIA
Registered address: Laval, France
Registration number: SIREN 917929382
Privacy contact: via the contact page (no public email address is published)
LexiFinder does not perform large-scale systematic monitoring or process special categories of personal information, so the appointment of a formal Data Protection Officer is not required. Privacy-related questions and requests can be directed to the controller via the contact page above.
2. Scope of This Policy
This Policy applies to information processed through the LexiFinder website, word-checking and word-finding tools, contact forms and email communications, technical logs, consent settings and analytics services identified in this Policy.
It does not govern third-party websites that may be linked from LexiFinder.
3. Information We Process
3.1 Word Searches and Tool Inputs
When you use LexiFinder, you may submit individual words, groups of letters, prefixes, suffixes, word patterns, length filters, wildcard characters and other search parameters. These inputs are processed to generate the requested results.
Search inputs may also appear temporarily in technical logs or aggregated statistics used to detect errors, prevent abuse and improve the service.
Do not enter names, contact details, confidential information or sensitive personal data into a search field.
3.2 Technical and Usage Information
When you access the website, our hosting or security systems may process: IP address, date and time of access, requested URL, referring page, browser type and version, operating system, device type, language settings, response status and loading time, error and diagnostic information, approximate country or region derived from the IP address, and security events or suspected automated activity.
3.3 Contact Information
When you contact us, we may process your name, email address, subject, message, attachments and subsequent correspondence. Please do not send sensitive or unnecessary personal information.
3.4 Cookie and Consent Information
Where a cookie banner or preference tool is used, we may retain your consent or refusal, selected categories, the date and time of your choice, a consent identifier and the version of the notice shown to you.

LexiFinder does not require an account. Unless the service changes, we do not intentionally collect account passwords, user profiles, payment-card details, billing information, precise GPS location, government identification documents or special-category personal information.
