At Alphabetically Ordered ("we," "us," or "our"), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website at alphabeticallyordered.com (the "Site").
Information We Collect
Our Site is a static tool that operates entirely in your browser. We do not collect, store, or process any personal information or the text you enter into the alphabetizing tool. All sorting is performed client-side in your browser, and no data is transmitted to our servers.
We do collect anonymous usage data through Google Analytics (described below). This data helps us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to monitor activity on our Site and to improve your experience. Cookies are small files placed on your device. The cookies we use are:
- Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*) - These track anonymous usage data such as pages visited, time on site, and general geographic region. They do not identify you personally.
- Cookie consent preference - We store your cookie consent choice so we don't ask you again on future visits.
You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. You can also withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how visitors use the Site. The data collected includes pages viewed, session duration, approximate geographic location, browser type, and device type. Google Analytics does not collect your name, email address, or other personally identifying information.
Google may process this data on servers in the United States. For more information on how Google handles your data, see Google's Privacy Policy and Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
Your Rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have certain rights regarding your data:
- Right to access - You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you. Since we don't collect personal data beyond anonymous analytics, there is typically nothing to provide.
- Right to deletion - You can request deletion of your personal data. You can also clear your browser cookies at any time to remove all locally stored data.
- Right to opt out - You can decline analytics cookies via the consent banner when you first visit the site, or install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Add-on.
- Right to lodge a complaint - If you believe your data rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
For visitors in the European Economic Area, our legal basis for processing analytics data is your consent, which you provide through our cookie consent banner. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing your cookies.
Data Retention
Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months by default. We do not maintain any separate database of user data.
Third-Party Links
Our Site may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Children's Privacy
Our Site does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page with an updated date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
