Who we are
Two Word Nation ("we", "us") operates twowordnation.com, a crowd-sourced site where visitors describe countries in exactly two words. This page explains what we collect and why.
What we collect
- Submissions: the two words you enter, the country you describe, and an automated sentiment classification.
- Approximate origin: we resolve your IP address to a country (via Cloudflare's edge headers, falling back to a third-party geolocation service) so we can show "how visitors from your country compare". We do not store your IP address alongside your submission — only the resolved country code.
- Abuse-prevention hashes: we store a salted one-way hash of your IP address and user agent so we can enforce per-visitor rate limits and detect duplicate submissions. The raw IP and user agent are never stored, and the hash cannot be reversed.
- Cookies: a local preference for your cookie choice; and, if you accept, cookies set by the third-party services listed below.
Bot protection & moderation
To keep the site usable we use Cloudflare Turnstile to distinguish humans from bots on the submission form, and we run each submission through an automated moderation model (Google Gemini via the Lovable AI Gateway) to filter hate speech, slurs, and spam. Submissions that fail either check are rejected and not stored.
Advertising & cookies
We may use Google AdSense to serve ads. When ads are enabled and you accept cookies, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other sites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at google.com/settings/ads or via aboutads.info.
Third parties
- Cloudflare — edge network, IP-country header, and Turnstile bot protection.
- ipapi.co — fallback IP-to-country lookup at submission time.
- Google AdSense — advertising delivery and measurement (only when ads are enabled and you accept cookies).
- Ko-fi — the "Support me" floating widget, loaded only after you accept cookies.
- Lovable AI Gateway (Google Gemini) — automated moderation of submitted words. Only the two words and the target country are sent; no IP or user data is included.
- Our hosting and database provider — to store submissions.
Your choices
You can reject non-essential cookies via our cookie banner. To request deletion of a submission you know you made, contact us at hello@twowordnation.com.
