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.
