Privacy Policy (Datenschutzerklärung)
We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. This website uses Matomo, a self-hosted open-source web analytics platform, to help us understand how visitors interact with the site.
Data Collection and Processing
Matomo is configured to be privacy-friendly:
- Self-hosted: All data is stored on our own server in Germany. No data is shared with third parties or Matomo's developers.
- IP Anonymization: Your IP address is anonymized (e.g., 192.168.xxx.xxx) so that it cannot be used to identify you personally.
- No Cookies: We have disabled the use of tracking cookies in Matomo. No cookies are stored on your device for analytics purposes.
- Do Not Track: We respect your browser's "Do Not Track" (DNT) settings. If DNT is enabled, your visit will not be tracked at all.
- Practice form analytics: When you use the practice form, we record the entered characters, their dictionary translation/meaning, and the selected language/script options (Mandarin/Cantonese and simplified/traditional) as Matomo event data to understand usage patterns and improve translation quality.
- Geo quiz feedback analytics: When you click feedback on the geo quiz result page, we record your feedback choice, quiz answers, and generated result as Matomo event data to improve the prediction model. If you choose "No" and enter your actual location, that location text is included in the feedback event.
- Idiom page analytics: On the idioms page, searches, selected filters, practice clicks, category clicks, and submitted missing-idiom suggestions are recorded as Matomo event data so we can improve the idiom list.
Local Storage
The website uses browser sessionStorage to remember your character selections and your current geo quiz answers while you navigate the site. This data is stored only on your device and is deleted when you close your browser tab or window.
Your Rights
You have the right to request information about the data we have stored about you, as well as the right to have it corrected or deleted. Since we do not store any personally identifiable information (due to IP anonymization and no cookies), we generally cannot link any analytics data to a specific person.
