Privacy policy
IndexStyle has no account system and does not sell personal data. Essential delivery data is handled to serve and protect the site; optional Google Analytics runs only after the visitor chooses Allow.
Operator and scope
- Controller
- IndexStyle editorial operation, Japan. Privacy requests and complaints: hello@indexstyle.org. The service currently has no account or payment function. A request for the operator's legal name and address will be answered without delay unless applicable law permits a restriction.
- Scope
- This policy covers indexstyle.org, its public APIs, delivery and security processing, optional analytics, externally hosted reference images and links.
Essential delivery and security
- Data
- Cloudflare may process the IP address, browser and device information, time, referring origin and requested URL. A dictionary search places the query in the requested URL, so it reaches the delivery system even though it is excluded from Google Analytics.
- Purpose
- To deliver pages, prevent abuse, diagnose failures and maintain security. This processing is necessary to operate the site and cannot be disabled with the analytics control.
Optional Google Analytics 4
- When
- The Google Analytics script is not requested until Allow is selected. Choosing No does not load it.
- Data
- Google Analytics may use first-party identifiers and cookies and report pages, sessions, interactions, browser and device type and approximate region. IndexStyle removes free-text query parameters from the page URL and referrer before measurement and sends query length and result shape instead of the words entered.
- Limits
- IndexStyle does not intentionally send names, email addresses or other direct identifiers. Google Signals, advertising personalisation and remarketing are disabled.
- Purpose
- To understand whether search, comparison and navigation work and to improve the dictionary.
Reference images and external links
- Image requests
- Reference images are served by the credited archive or publisher. That host receives the image request and may see the visitor’s IP address and browser information. IndexStyle sends no referring page URL with these requests.
- External pages
- Following a source link is governed by that destination’s own privacy terms.
Retention and processing locations
- Google Analytics
- The IndexStyle GA4 property was verified on 24 August 2026: event data is set to 2 months and user data to 14 months, with the user-data period reset by new activity. This setting does not control every aggregate standard report.
- Delivery records
- IndexStyle keeps no separate production visitor database or visitor-level Cloudflare log export. Cloudflare processes delivery and security records under its product schedules and configured account controls; no unverified fixed month count is claimed here. The consent choice remains in this browser until changed or cleared.
- International processing
- Cloudflare and Google may process data outside the visitor’s country under their contractual and legal safeguards.
Security and incidents
- Measures
- IndexStyle limits privileged access, keeps service credentials out of the public build, gates analytics on consent, removes free search text from analytics URLs and referrers, withholds the current page URL from external image requests, and runs release checks for exposed files and rights records.
- Incidents
- A suspected incident is contained and investigated, relevant evidence is preserved, provider action is requested where needed, and affected people or authorities are notified when applicable law requires it.
Your choices and requests
- Choices
- Analytics consent can be allowed, denied or reset below. Denial also removes accessible Google Analytics cookies from this site. Browser controls can clear remaining site data.
- Procedure
- For access, correction, deletion, restriction or a complaint, email hello@indexstyle.org with the service or page, approximate date, browser/device type and consent choice needed to locate the record. Do not send identity documents or sensitive data initially. Verification, if necessary, is limited to what is proportionate; because there is no account system, IndexStyle may be unable to identify an anonymous record.
