How WordLens collects, uses, and protects your data.
Effective: January 1, 2025 · Last updated: January 1, 2025WordLens ("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.
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.
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.
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 |
| setId | 61 | Which vocabulary set to save to |
| userId | 251 | Your account identifier |
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.
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating the extension service.
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.
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+).
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.
WordLens communicates exclusively with:
| Service | Purpose | Data sent |
|---|---|---|
| testtoeic.com API | Authentication, vocabulary sets, AI word lookup | Credentials (login only), words looked up, saved word data |
| Google Fonts CDN | Loading IBM Plex Sans font for the popup UI | Standard browser request (no personal data) |
We do not integrate with advertising networks, analytics platforms (Google Analytics, etc.), or any other third-party data processors.

WordLens is designed for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will notify users via the extension popup or testtoeic.com.
Your continued use of the extension after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
