1 Overview

WordLens ("the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension developed and operated by testtoeic.com. The Extension enables users to look up English vocabulary on any webpage and save words to personal vocabulary sets on their testtoeic.com account.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use, store, and protect it. By installing and using WordLens, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

✓ Our commitment We do not sell your personal data. We do not display advertisements. We do not share your information with third parties except as required to provide the core service.

2 Data We Collect

2.1 Account credentials

When you sign in through the extension popup, we transmit your username/email and password to the testtoeic.com authentication API. We do not store your raw password in the extension — only the authenticated user object (user ID, name, email, account status) returned by the server is cached locally in chrome.storage.local.

2.2 Words you look up

When you highlight a word or phrase and trigger a lookup, the selected text is sent to the testtoeic.com AI agent API. This is necessary to generate the definition, translation, synonyms, and example sentences.

2.3 Words you save

When you add a word to a vocabulary set, the following information is sent to and stored on testtoeic.com servers:

Field Example value Purpose
word"expand"The English word
phonetic"/ɪkˈspænd/"Pronunciation guide
meaning"Mở rộng, kéo dài"Translation in your language
example"We plan to expand..."Usage example sentence
partOfSpeech"verb"Grammatical category
setId61Which vocabulary set to save to
userId251Your account identifier

2.4 Extension preferences

Your settings (translation language, UI language, enabled/disabled state) are stored locally using chrome.storage.sync. This data syncs across your Chrome browsers signed in to the same Google account. It is not transmitted to our servers.

2.5 Data we do NOT collect

ℹ We never collect: Browsing history · Full page content · Cookies or session tokens from other websites · IP address logs tied to individual words · Device fingerprints · Any data from pages where the extension is disabled.

3 How We Use Your Data

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating the extension service.

4 Data Storage & Security

4.1 Local storage

User session data (authenticated user object, cached vocabulary sets) is stored in chrome.storage.local on your device. This data is accessible only to the WordLens extension and is cleared when you sign out.

4.2 Server storage

Saved vocabulary words and set configurations are stored on testtoeic.com servers located in [Vietnam / your server region]. All API communication is encrypted via HTTPS (TLS 1.2+).

4.3 Retention

Your vocabulary data is retained as long as your account is active. You may delete individual words or entire vocabulary sets at any time through the extension or the testtoeic.com website. Account deletion removes all associated data within 30 days.

4.4 Security measures
