Last Updated: December 19, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to WordBridge – Offline Dictionary ("we," "our," or "the app"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information Stored Locally on Your Device

WordBridge stores the following data locally on your device only:

• Search History: Words you have searched for in the dictionary
• Favorite Words: Words you have marked as favorites
• App Preferences: Your language preferences and app settings

This information is stored entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third parties.

2.2 Information Collected by Third Parties (AdMob)

Our app displays advertisements through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and process certain information to provide personalized advertising. This may include:

• Device information (device type, operating system, unique device identifiers)
• Ad interaction data (views, clicks)
• App usage data
• IP address and approximate location

For more information about how Google uses data, please review Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Search History & Favorites: To provide you with quick access to previously searched words and your favorite words. This data remains on your device.
• Advertising: AdMob uses collected data to display relevant advertisements and measure ad performance.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not collect, store, or share any of your personal information. The only data sharing occurs through Google AdMob for advertising purposes, as described in Section 2.2.

5. Your Data Rights and Choices

5.1 Local Data

You have full control over your locally stored data:

• You can clear your search history at any time from the History screen
• You can remove favorites individually or clear all favorites from the Favorites screen
• Uninstalling the app will remove all locally stored data

5.2 Advertising and Tracking

• Disable "Allow Apps to Request to Track"

On Android:

• Go to Settings → Privacy → Ads
• Enable "Opt out of Ads Personalization"

You can also opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads.

6. Children's Privacy

Our app is suitable for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. All data stored by the app remains locally on the device. AdMob advertising complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applicable regulations.

7. Data Security

Since all app-specific data (search history, favorites, preferences) is stored locally on your device, the security of this data depends on your device's security settings. We recommend:

• Using device passcode/biometric authentication
• Keeping your device's operating system up to date
• Only downloading apps from official app stores

8. Offline Functionality

WordBridge is designed to work completely offline. The entire dictionary database (containing 1.4+ million English words and 35,000+ Hindi words) is stored locally on your device. No internet connection is required to search for words or access definitions. Internet connectivity is only used for displaying advertisements.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
