• Provide, maintain, and personalize the Dictionary experience.

• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or security threats.

3. Information Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data only when necessary:

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard safeguards including AES-256 encryption for data at rest, TLS 1.3 for data in transit, regular security audits, and strict access controls. While we strive to protect your information, no online service is completely secure, and we encourage you to use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication where available.

• Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
• Export your data in a machine-readable format.
• Opt out of non-essential cookies and marketing communications.
• Request restrictions on processing or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise these rights, use the settings in your account dashboard or contact our Privacy Team directly.

6. Children's Privacy

Dictionary is designed for general audiences and is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in certain regions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors without verifiable parental consent. If we discover such data, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated via email or prominent notice on the Services. Your continued use after such updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
