This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected through our website (such as www.engdic.org), and/or any related services, sales, marketing, or events (we refer to them collectively in this privacy policy as the “Services”).

Please read this privacy policy carefully as it will help you understand what we do with the information that we collect.

How We Collect Your Information:

While we do not directly collect personal information, our advertising partner Google AdSense does collect certain information for ad personalization and measurement.

We collect personal information from you in several different ways:

1. Voluntary Submission

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when registering on Engdic.org expressing an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services, when participating in activities on Engdic.org, or otherwise contacting us.

The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and Engdic.org, the choices you make, and the products and features you use. The personal information we collect can include the following:

  • Name and Contact Data. We collect your first and last name, email address, postal address, phone number, and other similar contact data.

3. From Public Sources

We may collect information about you from publicly available sources, but we only do this where these sources are lawfully permitted to share your data with us.

4. Google AdSense

We also use Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google Inc., which uses “cookies” to collect certain user information. Google AdSense collects information such as your IP address, your browser type, and the page of our site you visited before coming to our site.

Please note that we do not control the information Google collects or how it is used. You can learn more about Google’s data practices and your options for opting out of personalized ads by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect or receive in the following ways:

1. Deliver Targeted Advertising

We use the information collected by Google AdSense to understand your preferences and serve ads that are more relevant to you.

2. To enforce our terms, conditions, and policies

Consistent with legal requirements, we may use your information as necessary to enforce our terms, conditions, and policies.

3. To respond to legal requests and prevent harm

If we receive a subpoena or other legal request, we may need to inspect the data we hold to determine how to respond.

Please note that we do not use the information collected to identify individual users or to match it with further data on an individual user unless legally required to do so.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share for marketing purposes your personal information with third parties without your consent. However, we may share your personal data as follows:

1. Google AdSense and Analytics

As stated in our policy, we use Google AdSense to display ads to you. Google may collect certain information such as your device’s IP address, your browser type, and the page of our site you visited before coming to our site. Google collects this data in order to ensure that the ads are relevant to you.

We also use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google.

The data collected by Google Analytics includes: pages visited, duration of visit, the source of visit, etc.
