Wikitionary App

What stays on your device

Wikitionary App stores your saved words (with their offline definitions, any notes you add and your review progress), reading history, preferred language and display settings in the app's own private storage on your phone. None of it is uploaded, backed up to me, or shared with anyone.

You can remove it at any time from inside the app, or by clearing the app's data or uninstalling it.

What leaves your device

To show you anything, the app has to fetch it. It requests pages and data directly from Wiktionary and the Wikimedia Foundation's APIs. Those requests carry the things any internet request carries — your IP address, and a user agent identifying the app.

I do not operate those servers and I never see those requests. The Wikimedia Foundation handles that data under its own privacy policy.

The app also embeds a web view. Cookies and local storage set by the site you are viewing are kept in the app's private web view storage, exactly as a browser would keep them, and are cleared when you clear the app's data.

What I do not do

• No account, no sign-in, no profile.
• No advertising, and no advertising identifier is read.
• No analytics or crash-reporting SDK is bundled in the app.
• No behavioural tracking, and no selling or sharing of personal information.
• No data is transmitted to me or to any server I control. I run no server.

When you share or open a link

If you share something, it goes to whichever app you pick from the system share sheet, and that app's own policy takes over.

External links open in your normal browser rather than silently inside the app.

Children

This app is not directed at children under 13, and it does not knowingly collect anything from them. It collects nothing from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.

Contact

Questions about this policy can go to maitiagniva@gmail.com.

Text you look up from other apps

The app can receive text when you select it elsewhere and choose "Look up in Wiktionary", or when you share text to it.

That text is used for one thing: to run the lookup you asked for. It is sent to Wiktionary (as a search term, or to its public definition API for a quick definition) and is not stored separately or sent anywhere else.

Permissions

• Internet access, to fetch dictionary content. That is the only permission the app declares.
