Privacy Policy for the arutha.lk website and the ශබ්දකෝෂය (Sinhala English Pali Dictionary) apps
Last updated: November 2026.
Introduction
At arutha.lk we are committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This policy explains what information the
website arutha.lk and our mobile applications ("Apps", Android and iOS package lk.pitaka.dictionary) handle.
Information We Collect
- No personal data: there are no accounts and no log in. We do not collect names, email addresses, contacts,
photos or your location. There are no advertisements and no third party trackers or analytics services.
- On your device only: your bookmarks, search history and settings are saved in your browser or app, on your
device. They are never sent to us.
- Anonymous counts (website only): to know how the website is used, it keeps daily totals, for example how
many visitors there were, which pages were opened, which words were searched for and from which country. A visit
is counted without any identifier and without cookies: the browser only tells the server whether this is its first
visit of the day, week or month. The country is looked up from the internet address with the DB-IP country
database (CC BY 4.0, db-ip.com); the address itself is not stored. The Apps send
nothing.
- Server logs: like every web server, ours sees the internet address of each request while answering it.
How We Use Information
The anonymous counts are only used to improve the dictionaries (for example, which words people look for and do not
find) and to keep the website running. They are never sold or shared.
Children's Privacy
The website and Apps are not directed at children under 13 and do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy; significant changes are announced on the website and in the Apps.
