Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2026
Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to provide and improve our service:
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your name and email address. Your password is stored as a hashed value — we never see your actual password.
Usage Data
We collect anonymous usage data such as search queries (stored independently from your account), page views, and language preferences. This helps us understand how Miklem is used and improve the dictionary.
Cookies
We use essential cookies for authentication (to keep you signed in) and to remember your language and theme preferences. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics.
How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain the dictionary service.
- To authenticate your account and enable features like favorites and recently viewed entries.
- To improve search quality by analysing anonymised search patterns.
- To communicate with you about your account (password resets, email verification).
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. We do not use third-party analytics or advertising services. All data is stored on servers we control.
Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. Anonymised search logs may be retained indefinitely for research purposes.
Your Rights
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
