PRIVACY POLICYLast Updated: November 2026
At Angreji Dictionary, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting information related to your use of our website and mobile applications. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and how it is safeguarded.
📋 Information We CollectAngreji Dictionary collects limited technical information such as browser type, device model, operating system version, language, app version, and anonymous usage statistics to operate the service and improve its performance. The sections below describe each type of information in more detail.
🆔 Device IDWhen you use our app or website, a random identifier (UUID) is generated and stored on your device. It is sent to our server with word-detail requests so that we can count unique views of each word. It is not linked to your name or identity, and no hardware identifier or advertising ID is used. Clearing the app's data (or your browser's site data) or reinstalling the app creates a new ID.
🔑 No Account or Personal InformationAngreji Dictionary does not require registration or an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or password to use the dictionary. We do use pseudonymous identifiers — a device ID, a push notification (FCM) token, and a Firebase installation ID. These are not directly tied to your identity, but they can still be considered personal data under some laws. If you choose to write to us through the Contact form, we receive the name, email address, subject, and message you submit.
🔔 Push NotificationsEach time the app launches, your device's push notification token (Firebase Cloud Messaging), platform (Android or iOS), and app version are registered with our server. We use this to send alerts about new words, updates on word suggestions you have submitted (such as approvals), and announcements. Notifications are optional: you can turn them off at any time from the in-app Menu or your device settings. Web push notifications are not supported.
📱 Application DataOur mobile apps collect crash logs, performance data, a Firebase installation ID, device model, operating system version, language setting, and app version. This information is used for core functionality, crash reporting, performance monitoring, and service improvements.
💾 On-Device Storage (App)The app stores a small amount of data on your device: whether you have completed onboarding and the disclaimer, a counter used to decide when to ask you for a review, your device ID, and a cached copy of the Word of the Day. This is the app's equivalent of the cookies and local storage described below.
🍪 Cookies, Local Storage and Website AnalyticsOur website uses Google Analytics and our own Umami analytics to understand how visitors use the site. These tools may set cookies or similar identifiers. Your browser's local storage is also used to keep your device ID and your light/dark display preference.
🔍 Search Queries and Usage AnalyticsWords you search for are sent to our server so we can return results. In the app, the first 100 characters of your search text are also logged in Firebase Analytics, and on the website search terms may be recorded in our analytics tools. We also record usage events such as screen views, words viewed or shared, onboarding progress, menu opens, social link taps, suggestion events, and network errors.
💡 Word SuggestionsAngreji Dictionary lets you suggest new words through the "Suggest a Word" feature in our mobile apps. When you submit a suggestion, we collect: (1) the suggested word and any note you add, (2) device information — platform, device model, manufacturer, operating system version, and language (and screen size, on web only), (3) app version information, and (4) your push notification token, so that we can let you know when your suggestion is approved. This information is used to review suggestions, add words to the dictionary, notify you, and improve our service. We do not associate word suggestions with personal identifiers unless you voluntarily provide contact information through our Contact page.
🎯 How We Use InformationWe use the information described above to operate and improve the dictionary, count unique word views, send notifications you have allowed, review word suggestions, diagnose crashes and performance problems, respond to inquiries, and prevent abuse and keep the service secure.
🗂️ Data Retention and DeletionWe do not keep data longer than needed. Identifiers such as the device ID and push notification token are kept only while they are needed to run the app, and notification tokens that are found to be no longer valid are removed. Word suggestions and Contact form messages are kept for as long as needed to review and respond to them. Analytics and crash data are retained by Firebase and Google Analytics under their own retention settings. To ask us to delete data associated with you, contact us at angrejidictionary@gmail.com. Because identifiers such as the device ID are not visible to you, include your device model and app version in your request so we can help locate the relevant records.
🤝 Third-Party ServicesWe use the following third-party services, which process data under their own privacy policies:
🌐 In-App Browser and External LinksWithin the app, our Privacy Policy, Terms, Contact page, and social media links open inside the app. Third-party sites you reach this way are governed by their own privacy policies:

🔐 Data SecurityWe do not collect more personal data than necessary, and any collection is done transparently and in line with applicable privacy laws. We implement reasonable security measures to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
🛑 No Data SellingWe do not sell, rent, trade, or share personal information with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.
