Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Nahor processes minimal data required to maintain a functional, fast, and secure online dictionary system. This data falls into two categories:

• Public User Contributions: When you submit a new word, definition, part of speech, or suggestion via our contribution channels or contact forms, this information is stored securely in our database. Publicly approved vocabulary contributions display the username or attribution string provided by the submitter.
• Search Queries: Phrases typed into the primary search bar or reverse-search layout are evaluated dynamically to display results. Anonymized common search queries may be tracked internally to update the "Popular Searches" and "Recent Searches" modules on the homepage.
• Server Logs: Like most web applications, our system records standard technical metrics including IP addresses, browser types, referring pages, and access timestamps to protect against malicious traffic, security threats, and server exploits.

2. User Accounts and Administrative Access

• User Authentication Data: For registered contributors or users, we collect standard credentials (username, email, and securely hashed passwords) necessary to authenticate login sessions. Passwords are encrypted natively within Laravel and cannot be read by system administrators.
• Administrative Rights: Authorized administrators have full database clearance to read submitted content, edit structural entries (words, parts of speech, examples), delete invalid listings, and audit user roles to ensure the integrity of the platform. Administrators do not have access to plain-text user passwords.

3. Data Security and Infrastructure Safety

We implement strict security definitions to safeguard your information. All connections are routed through encrypted HTTPS layers. Core framework components, application environment configuration variables (.env), database structural details, and system files are strictly protected by server-side rules and file access controls to prevent external disclosure or unauthorized access.

4. Cookies and Session State Tracking

Nahor utilizes standard Laravel session cookies to retain state authentication for logged-in accounts, process token validation for safe form submissions (CSRF protection), and cache local user interface choices. These cookies do not perform cross-site user behavioral tracking for third-party advertisement corporations.

5. Third-Party Linkage and Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, lease, or rent personal user metrics to third parties. This dictionary application sits inside a subfolder framework under the main root domain. While it operates separately, it respects the master security environment. External programmatic API data queries are not shared with legacy dictionary nodes.

6. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising Cookies

Nahor uses Google AdSense to display advertisements to support the maintenance and operation of the platform. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this website.

• Personalized Advertising: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to Nahor and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Opting Out: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's ad settings page via https://adssettings.google.com. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

7. Terms of Service

Your use of this dictionary application, along with the conditions governing user-generated submissions and administrative content controls, is also bound by our master Terms of Service agreement. Please review our operational policies and user rules carefully at: https://koustubhdas.com/nahor/terms.
