Privacy Policy

Last updated: 25 August 2026

sentence.wtf collects as little as it can while still being able to take a payment and keep the board usable. There are no accounts, no login, and no OAuth — there is nothing to sign into, so there is no profile to build.

What is stored

• A hash of your email address. When a payment succeeds, our payment provider gives us the email you entered at checkout. We store only a one-way hash of it — never the address itself. It is the closest thing to a durable identity in the system, and it exists so that a payment can be matched to an edit if you ever need to ask about a charge or a refund.
• A hash of your IP address. Again one-way, never the address itself. It is used to rate-limit how many word reservations one source can hold at once, so a single person cannot block the board for everyone else. It is not used to identify you.

What is not stored

• Your name, your email address in readable form, or your IP address in readable form.
• Card details. Payments are handled by Dodo Payments, acting as the merchant of record. Card numbers never reach sentence.wtf's own systems, and your card statement will show the payment provider rather than this site.
• Advertising identifiers, or any third-party tracking or analytics.

Storage in your browser

The site keeps a small amount of data in your own browser, using localStorage and sessionStorage. It never leaves your device and we cannot read it. There are no advertising or analytics cookies, and no third-party trackers.

• Whether you have visited before, so the introduction is shown once.
• Which words you have placed, so they can be marked on the board when you return.
• An in-progress payment, so a reload during checkout does not lose track of it.

All three exist to make the site work as you would expect, and clearing your browser data removes them. Because this is per-browser, "your words" is best effort: it will not follow you to another device, and two people sharing a browser share the same record.

What is public

The words placed on the board are public and permanent by design, as is the record of what each word replaced and what was paid for it. That record is anonymous — it is never linked to a name, an email address, or a profile, because none of those exist here.

Getting in touch

Questions, or a request about your data: [email protected]. Note that because there are no accounts, we generally cannot connect a request to a specific past edit unless you can supply the payment reference from your receipt.
