Privacy Policy
Website Visitors
Like most websites, SpanishDict collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. SpanishDict’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how SpanishDict’s visitors use its website. From time to time, SpanishDict may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
SpanishDict also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. SpanishDict does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to SpanishDict’s websites choose to interact with SpanishDict in ways that require SpanishDict to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that SpanishDict gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at SpanishDict.com to provide a name, password and email address. Those who engage in transactions with SpanishDict are asked to provide additional information. In each case, SpanishDict collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with SpanishDict. SpanishDict does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
SpanishDict may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, SpanishDict may monitor the most popular groups on the SpanishDict.com site to help identify spam. SpanishDict may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, SpanishDict does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
SpanishDict discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on SpanishDict’s behalf or to provide services available at Curiosity Media’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using SpanishDict’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. SpanishDict will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, SpanishDict discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when SpanishDict believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of SpanishDict, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an SpanishDict website and have supplied your email address, SpanishDict may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with SpanishDict and our products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. SpanishDict takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. SpanishDict uses cookies to help SpanishDict identify and track visitors, their usage of SpanishDict website, and their website access preferences. SpanishDict visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using SpanishDict’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of SpanishDict’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, SpanishDict may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in SpanishDict’s sole discretion. SpanishDict encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a SpanishDict account, you should also check your SpanishDict account inbox for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
