Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 2026

Thank you for using BioLex - Biology Dictionary ("App"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, and your choices regarding your information.

By using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

BioLex does not require sign-up or login, and we do not collect any personal information from you. There is no account creation, no name, email, or phone number requested by the App, and no personal profile is created or stored on any server.

The App does not ask you to provide any information. The only data generated while using the App — such as the words you search, your language preferences, and your bookmarked words — is described in Section 2 below, and it stays on your device.

If you choose to contact us directly by email for support or feedback, any information you include in that email (such as your email address) is used only to respond to you, and is not linked to your in-app activity.

Device Information

The App may automatically collect:

This information is used only to improve the App.

2. Dictionary Data and Local Storage

BioLex works fully offline. The biology dictionary itself is bundled with the App and stored locally on your device — no dictionary lookups are sent to any server.

Your recent searches, bookmarked/favourite words, selected languages, and quiz progress are also stored locally on your device. This data is never uploaded to us or to any third party, and it stays on your device unless you clear it yourself or uninstall the App.

You can clear your recent searches or remove bookmarked words at any time from within the App.

3. Text-to-Speech

The App uses your device's built-in text-to-speech engine to pronounce words and definitions aloud. This processing happens entirely on your device; no audio or text is sent to us or to any third party for this feature.

4. Advertising

The free version of the App may display advertisements through third-party advertising providers such as Google AdMob.

These providers may collect limited information, including:

This information helps provide relevant advertisements.

We do not collect or store your payment information.

Subscription management is handled through your Google Play account.

6. Third-Party Services

The App may use third-party services including:

These services have their own privacy policies.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information.

However, no method of electronic storage or internet transmission is completely secure.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us.

9. Content Accuracy

BioLex provides biology and life-science terminology, definitions, and translations for educational and reference purposes only.

While we aim for accuracy, the App's content should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional medical, clinical, or academic advice.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Changes become effective when published.

Continued use of the App after updates indicates acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
