Security

Our Security Commitment

At Wordlyze, security is built into the core of our service. We've designed our tool with privacy-first architecture to ensure your data remains secure at all times.

HTTPS Encryption

Our website uses industry-standard HTTPS encryption to protect your connection:

• TLS 1.3: Latest encryption protocol for secure connections
• 256-bit Encryption: Military-grade encryption for all data transmission
• Certificate Authority: Valid SSL certificate from trusted providers
• Automatic Redirects: HTTP traffic automatically upgraded to HTTPS

Look for the padlock icon 🔒 in your browser's address bar to verify the secure connection.

Browser Security

How Your Browser Protects You

Modern web browsers provide additional security layers:

• Sandboxing: JavaScript runs in isolated environment
• Same-Origin Policy: Prevents unauthorized cross-site data access
• Content Security Policy: Blocks malicious scripts and injections
• XSS Protection: Prevents cross-site scripting attacks

Recommended Browsers

For best security, use updated versions of:

• Google Chrome (version 100+)
• Mozilla Firefox (version 100+)
• Safari (version 15+)
• Microsoft Edge (version 100+)
• Brave (privacy-focused alternative)

Privacy & Security Best Practices for Users

How You Can Stay Safe

While our tool is secure by design, follow these best practices:

✅ Do This:

• Use updated browsers with latest security patches
• Enable HTTPS-only mode in your browser
• Use privacy-focused extensions (uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger)
• Clear browser cache regularly
• Use incognito/private mode for sensitive documents

❌ Don't Do This:

• Don't use public WiFi without VPN for sensitive documents
• Don't share screenshots with sensitive content
• Don't use outdated browsers (they have security vulnerabilities)
• Don't trust fake "word counter" sites without HTTPS

Compliance & Standards

We adhere to industry-standard security practices:

• OWASP Top 10: Protection against common vulnerabilities
• GDPR Principles: Privacy by design, minimal data collection
• WCAG 2.1: Accessible and secure for all users
• Web.dev Best Practices: Google's recommended security standards

Incident Response

While we've never had a security incident, we have a plan:

• Immediate Investigation: Any reported issues are investigated immediately
• Rapid Patching: Critical vulnerabilities patched within hours
• User Notification: Affected users notified if necessary
• Transparency: Public disclosure of resolved issues

To report a security issue: security@wordlyze.com

Security Updates

We continuously improve our security:

• Monthly dependency updates
• Quarterly security audits
