SynonymSeek (synonymseek.com) respects your privacy. This page explains what information we collect when you visit our website and how we use it. We have written it in plain English, because we believe you should be able to understand how your data is treated without reading a legal textbook. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us.
Information We Collect
When you visit SynonymSeek, our hosting provider may record standard log data, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and the time of your visit. This data is used only to keep the website running and to understand which articles readers find useful. For example, if many readers visit a guide to synonyms for happy, we know that topic is popular and we can write more articles like it.
We do not ask you to create an account to read our articles, and we do not collect your name, address, or phone number simply because you visit the site. We only receive personal details if you choose to give them to us, for example by leaving a comment or by sending us an email.
Cookies
SynonymSeek may use cookies to remember your preferences and to measure traffic. A cookie is a small file stored in your browser that helps a website remember that you have visited before. We use this information to see which articles are popular and to improve the site, and we never use cookies to identify you personally.
Advertising partners such as Google AdSense may also use cookies to show ads that match your interests. You can turn off cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you do this, the site will still work, but some features, such as remembering your preferences, may not work as well.
Comments
If you leave a comment, we collect the name and email address you provide, along with your comment. Your email address is never shown publicly and is never sold or shared. Your name and your comment will be visible to other readers, so please do not include private details in a comment.
We may remove comments that are spam, abusive, or off topic. If you want a comment you left removed, you can ask us, as explained in the Your Rights section below.
Contact Emails
If you email us, we keep your message and your email address only so we can reply to you. We do not sell or share contact details with anyone. We do not add your email address to a mailing list unless you ask us to, and we do not send marketing emails.
Advertising and Affiliate Links
SynonymSeek may show ads through Google AdSense and may include affiliate links to books and learning products. If you buy through an affiliate link, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. The price you pay stays the same, and the commission helps us keep the site running and free to read.
Ads and affiliate links do not influence what our articles say. A word is recommended because it fits, never because someone paid for it.
Embedded Content
Some articles may include embedded content from other websites, such as videos. Embedded content behaves as if you visited that other website directly, and it may collect data about you under that website’s own privacy policy. We have no control over what those websites collect, so we suggest you read their privacy policies if you use them.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to run the website, improve our articles, answer messages, and show relevant ads. We do not sell personal information to anyone. We do not use your information for any other purpose, and we do not pass it to other companies except as described in this policy, for example to our hosting provider or to Google AdSense.
Data Retention
Log data and comments are kept only as long as needed for the purposes above. Contact emails are kept only until the conversation is finished. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or make it anonymous.
Your Rights
You may ask us to delete a comment you left or an email you sent us. Contact us at info@synonymseek.com and we will handle your request. We will ask you to confirm which comment or email you mean, so that we do not delete the wrong thing, and we will let you know once it has been done.
Children’s Privacy
SynonymSeek is written for general readers, including students aged 16 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you are a parent or teacher and you believe a child under 16 has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Links to Other Websites
Our articles link to other websites for reference. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. When you follow a link to another site, its own privacy policy applies, not this one.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated. If the changes are important, we will note them here so readers can see what has changed. This policy should be read together with our Terms of Service, which set out the rules for using the website.

If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at info@synonymseek.com. You can also read our Disclaimer, which explains the limits of the information on this site, or write to us through our Contact Us page.
