Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Neuralyne Technologies ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use mediLexicon (the "Service"), available at themedilexicon.com and through our mobile applications. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Information you provide

When you create an account, we collect your full name, email address, and password. Passwords are stored in hashed form by our authentication provider and are never visible to us. If you sign in with Google, we receive basic profile information (such as your name and email) from Google in accordance with your Google account settings.

Information we collect automatically

When you use the Service, certain information is collected automatically, including your device and browser type, IP address, pages and terms viewed, and general usage patterns. We use this to operate, secure, and improve the Service.

Content you save

If you are signed in, we store the terms you bookmark as favourites and the terms you recently viewed, so we can show them to you across sessions and devices. This information is tied to your account and visible only to you.

Third-Party Services We Use

We rely on reputable third-party services to operate, measure, and support the Service. These services may collect information through cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies, subject to their own privacy policies. They include:

• Google Analytics — to understand how the Service is used and to improve it.
• Google Ads and the Google advertising network — to display and measure advertising.
• Meta (Facebook) Ads — to measure and deliver advertising.
• Firebase (a Google service) — for application infrastructure, analytics, and performance monitoring, particularly in our mobile applications.
• Other analytics, advertising, and infrastructure providers we may engage from time to time to operate and improve the Service.

These providers process data according to their own policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of Google and Meta to understand their practices. Some of these services support advertising that may be personalised based on your activity across sites and apps.

How We Use Information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the Service and its features.
• To create and manage your account and store your favourites and recent terms.
• To measure usage and performance through analytics.
• To display and measure advertising that helps keep the Service free.
• To protect against fraud, abuse, and security threats.
• To comply with legal obligations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We and our third-party providers use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service, remember your preferences, measure usage, and support advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect some features. Where required by law, we will request your consent for non-essential cookies.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or delete it, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can:

• Access and update your account information while signed in.
• Delete your favourites and recent terms at any time.
• Request deletion of your account by contacting us.

We do not sell personal information as that term is commonly defined. If you are a California or EU/UK resident, you may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA or GDPR respectively; contact us to exercise them.

Data Retention and Security

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service and meet legal obligations. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.

International Users

We may process and store information in countries other than where you live. By using the Service you consent to such transfers, subject to appropriate safeguards where required by law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version here with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the updated policy.
