Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how HyTerm handles information when you use our terminology platform.
Introduction
HyTerm ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our bilingual terminology management platform. Since HyTerm does not require user accounts or store personal user data, our data practices are minimal and focused on providing you with the best possible terminology service.
Information We Do Not Collect
HyTerm does not require users to create accounts, and we do not collect or store personal information such as names, email addresses, or contact details. You can use our terminology search and contribution features without providing any personal information. We do not track individual users or maintain profiles of user behavior.
Information We Do Collect
We collect minimal technical information necessary to operate the service, including basic usage statistics such as search queries (to improve our terminology database), general geographic location (country-level only, for analytics), and technical information like browser type and device information (for compatibility purposes). When you contribute terminology to our database, we store the terms, translations, and context you provide, but this content is not linked to any personal identifier.
Cookies and Tracking
We use essential cookies for basic website functionality and analytics cookies to understand how our service is used. We also use Google AdSense to display advertisements, which may place cookies on your browser for ad personalization. Third parties may be placing and reading cookies on your browser, or using web beacons or IP addresses to collect information as a result of ad serving on the HyTerm website. You can learn more about how Google uses data when you use partner sites by visiting Google's partner sites policy. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
How We Use Information
The limited information we collect is used solely to provide and improve our terminology service, including maintaining and enhancing our terminology database, generating AI-powered translation suggestions, analyzing usage patterns to improve the platform, and ensuring the security and proper functioning of our website. We do not sell, rent, or share any information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Public Terminology Database
All terminology contributions made to HyTerm become part of our public database and are accessible to all users. This includes English and French terms, context information, and any notes you provide. This information is not linked to your identity since we do not collect personal information. By contributing terminology, you agree that your contributions will be publicly accessible and may be used by other users for translation and terminology purposes.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the information we do collect. Our website uses SSL encryption for data transmission, and our terminology database is stored securely. However, since we do not collect personal information, the security risks associated with personal data breaches are minimal.
Your Rights
Since we do not collect or store personal information, traditional data protection rights such as access, correction, or deletion of personal data are not applicable. However, if you have concerns about any terminology you have contributed or if you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information, please contact us and we will address your concerns promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last modified" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of HyTerm after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
