Privacy
Letterbench is a bench for words, not for data: there is no sign-up form, comment thread, newsletter, advert or analytics counter here, and no page sets a cookie.
Your text and your poems
- Spell checker: your text is checked on your device against a word list file the page downloads. It is never uploaded. Words you add to "my words" are kept in your own browser's local storage and the "Forget my added words" button deletes them.
- Magnetic poetry: your poem stays in the page. A share link carries the poem after the
#in the address, a part that browsers do not send to the server; anyone you give the link to can read the poem.
What is collected
- By Letterbench: nothing at all. The articles, the checker and the poetry board are plain static files; no script counts readers or follows them from page to page.
- By the host: Letterbench is delivered by Cloudflare, whose servers record the usual connection data (IP address, time of the request, the page or word list fetched) so that files arrive and abusive traffic can be blocked. The host's full name and address are in the legal notice.
Images and fonts
Every photograph, every script and the Fraunces heading typeface are files on Letterbench itself, fetched from the same address as the page you are reading. Opening an article or the checker therefore sends no request to Google Fonts, an image service or any other outside party. Where each photo comes from is listed on the photo credits page.
Questions
Still unsure what happens to a word you typed? Letterbench answers questions about this page; how to write is explained on the contact page, and the publisher's details are in the legal notice.
