Expanded Data Retention & Deletion Controls
We've updated our Privacy Policy to give you more granular control over your search history and saved word lists. You can now set automatic deletion schedules (30, 90, or 365 days) directly from your account settings. All existing data will be preserved unless you choose otherwise.

Effective June 1, 2025, all Pro and Enterprise accounts will require two-factor authentication (2FA) to be enabled. This aligns with our commitment to securing sensitive language data and API keys. Free accounts remain optional but strongly encouraged.

Our Terms of Service have been updated to clarify acceptable use of AI-powered features. Users may not use Dictionary's AI definitions or translation engines to generate automated spam, bypass security filters, or create malicious linguistic content. Violations may result in account suspension.

To ensure consistent performance across all users, the Free tier daily search limit has been adjusted from 100 to 50 queries. Pro and Enterprise tiers remain unaffected. We've also added a 15-second cooldown for rapid-fire API calls to prevent system strain.
