1.प्रस्तावना एवं कार्यक्षेत्र (Introduction & Scope)
Welcome to Muhavare & Lokoktiyan Kosh (accessible at muhavarelokoktiyan.com). This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of information when you access our online educational dictionary, search tools, study guides, and contact channels.
We operate under the philosophy of data minimization: collecting only the minimum information necessary to deliver a fast, reliable, and accessible educational experience to students, teachers, and language enthusiasts worldwide.
2.हम कौन-सी जानकारी एकत्र करते हैं? (Information We Collect)
A. स्वेच्छा से दी गई जानकारी (Information You Voluntarily Provide)
When you submit an editorial feedback, idiom suggestion, or inquiry via our Contact form, you provide your name, email address, inquiry category, and message text. This information is solely used to process and respond to your request.
B. स्थानीय ब्राउज़र प्राथमिकताएँ (Local Browser Preferences)
To ensure that your preferred reading mode (Light / Dark) and language (English / Hindi) persist between page visits, we store two simple key-value pairs in your browser's local storage:
ui_lang: 'en' or 'hi'theme: 'light' or 'dark'
These values never leave your device and are never sent to external servers.
C. तकनीकी सर्वर लॉग्स (Technical Server Logs)
Like almost all websites, our hosting servers automatically log standard network metadata (such as masked/anonymized IP addresses, browser user-agent, requested URL, HTTP status codes, and access timestamps). These logs are retained briefly solely for network security, DDoS mitigation, and system health monitoring.
3.कुकीज़ एवं ट्रैकिंग नीति (Cookies & Tracking Policy)
We do not use invasive third-party tracking cookies or cross-site advertising beacons. We do not participate in behavioral ad networks or profile building.
Any client-side persistence utilized on this website is strictly functional (e.g. keeping your dark mode toggle active). You may clear your browser’s cookies or localStorage at any time via your browser settings without losing access to the dictionary content.
4.तृतीय-पक्ष सेवाएँ (Third-Party Services)
To maintain high visual quality, typographic elegance, and global content delivery, we interact with the following reputable service providers:
- Google Fonts: For rendering high-legibility Noto Sans Devanagari, Inter, Rozha One, and Geist Mono fonts. Google’s privacy practices apply to font asset delivery.
- Cloud Infrastructure / CDN: For fast global caching and DDoS mitigation, ensuring reliable uptime during exam seasons.
5.बच्चों की गोपनीयता का संरक्षण (Children's Privacy Protection)
As an educational resource extensively consulted by middle school, high school (Classes 6–10), and senior secondary students, we take children’s online safety with utmost seriousness. We comply with the spirit of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act.
We do not require any personal data from children under 13 to read or search the dictionary. If a parent, guardian, or teacher discovers that a student has submitted identifying information through our contact form, they may contact us at privacy@muhavarelokoktiyan.com for immediate deletion.
6.डेटा सुरक्षा एवं प्रतिधारण (Data Security & Retention)
All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is secured using modern Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3 / HTTPS encryption). Inquiries sent through our contact form are retained for up to 90 days solely to resolve the linguistic or technical query, after which they are securely archived or purged.
