Welcome to Dalati English (accessible from our website). We are dedicated to respecting and protecting the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by Dalati English, how it is used, and the measures we take to safeguard your data.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information necessary to deliver and improve our educational resources:

  • User-Provided Information: When you contact us directly via email ([email protected]) or messaging platforms, we may receive your name, email address, the contents of your message, attachments, and any other information you choose to provide.
  • Log Files & Technical Usage Data: Like most standard web servers, our hosting infrastructure automatically collects standard log file data when you browse the site. This includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and click counts. This data is not linked to any personally identifiable information and is used exclusively for analyzing trends, site administration, and server health.

2. Cookies and Local Storage

Dalati English uses cookies and browser local storage to enhance your browsing experience. Specifically, we utilize browser localStorage (such as the dalati-theme key) solely to remember your chosen visual preferences (Dark Mode or Light Mode) across page visits.

For comprehensive details on how cookies are used, their classifications, and instructions on how to manage or disable them, please consult our dedicated Cookie Policy.

3. Third-Party Services and Embedded Content

To enrich our educational lessons, articles on Dalati English embed multimedia content and interactive tools from reputable third-party platforms:

  • Embedded YouTube Videos: Several of our video courses, podcast episodes (e.g. Listening Time), and pronunciation lessons are embedded using official YouTube players. When you play an embedded YouTube video, YouTube (Google LLC) may collect viewing metrics, log your IP address, and set third-party cookies or device identifiers in accordance with Google's privacy practices.
  • External Educational Links: Our site contains links to external educational resources, practice platforms (such as Ba Ba Dum), and reference websites. We have no direct control over the content or privacy policies of these external sites, and we encourage you to review their individual policies.

4. Advertising and Third-Party Technologies

Dalati English provides educational resources free of charge. To support ongoing server hosting, site maintenance, and educational content development, the website may integrate reputable third-party advertising networks (such as Google AdSense or Ezoic) in the future.

When third-party advertising partners are active:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and web beacons to serve advertisements based on a user's prior visits to this website or other sites on the internet.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • Alternatively, users can opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative or AboutAds.info.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade any personal information to outside marketers. Information is only disclosed if required by applicable legal obligations, to protect our legal rights, or to respond to verified security threats.

6. User Rights (GDPR & CCPA Principles)

Depending on your jurisdiction (including the European Economic Area under GDPR and California under CCPA), you are entitled to specific rights concerning your personal data:

We implement industry-standard administrative and technical safeguards to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

8. Children's Privacy

Dalati English is an educational platform intended for general audiences and language learners. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us immediately so we can remove such data from our records.
