Privacy Policy

This document was last updated on May 16, 2018 to update contact information and add transparency to our hosting service and how your data is used (i.e. to display your dicitonaries and sometimes send you emails if you agree to receive them).

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Lexiconga Dictionary Builder collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a "User") of the http://lexicon.ga website ("Site") and its accounts ("Account").

Personal identification information

We may collect personal identification information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our site, register on the site, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on our Site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, their name and email address. Users may, however, use our Site anonymously. We will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personal identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site-related activities.

Non-personal identification information

We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site through website analytics tools. Non-personal identification information may include the browser name, the type of computer and technical information about Users means of connection to our Site, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information.

Web browser cookies

Our Site does not use "cookies" to enhance User experience, but it does use "local storage". User's web browser places local storage on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them, but we only use this to store your current dictionary. User may choose to set their web browser to refuse local storage usage, but if they do so, the Site will not function properly.

How we use collected information

Lexiconga Dictionary Builder may collect and use Users personal information for the following purposes:

  • To run and operate our Site and personalize user experience: We need your input to display content on the Site correctly, because it is a tool built entirely to display the content that you enter.

We do not use your data in any way other than to serve your content or to send the occasional update email—you may opt out of receiving emails at any time via your Account Settings! Your email address is tied directly to your account, however, so altering it will change your login credentials.

How we protect your information

If you are utilizing an Account, we protect your information by keeping your information on a trusted database server provided by the Site's web host, InfinityFree. All data you save from an Account is uploaded to this database server from your browser. If we ever change web hosts, you will be notified via the on-site notification.

If you utilize the ability to make dictionaries associated with an Account visible to the public, you accept all responsibility for its content being visible to anyone who might find it. We cannot protect what you willingly put in public, and we do not accept liability if information you place online is used against you somehow. Never put personal information online!

If you are not using an Account, then all of your information remains right on your own computer where it belongs. As mentioned previously, all data is stored in your browser's "local storage".

Sharing your personal information

We do not sell, trade, or rent Users personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners, trusted affiliates and advertisers for the purposes outlined above.

Electronic newsletters

If User decides to opt-in to our mailing list, they will receive emails that may include company news, updates, related product or service information, etc. We may use third party service providers like MailChimp to help us operate our business and the Site or administer activities on our behalf, such as sending out newsletters or surveys. We may share your information with these third parties for those limited purposes provided that you have given us your permission.

Third party websites

Users may find advertising or other content on our Site that link to the sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licencors and other third parties. We do not control the content or links that appear on these sites and are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our Site. In addition, these sites or services, including their content and links, may be constantly changing. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies and customer service policies. Browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link to our Site, is subject to that website's own terms and policies.

Advertising

Ads appearing on our site may be delivered to Users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile non personal identification information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This privacy policy does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Google Adsense

Some of the ads may be served by Google. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to Users based on their visit to our Site and other sites on the Internet. DART uses "non personally identifiable information" and does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, etc. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy at http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/
