The Services may collect other information from your device through permissions incorporated into the device. For example, if you wish to associate a profile picture with your account, you may allow the Services to access the camera or photos on your device for that purpose. You may modify these permissions at any time using the SpanishDictionary Settings screen or your device’s privacy and application settings.Social Media Logins: You can sign up for a SpanishDictionary account using certain other social media accounts, such as Facebook or Google. If you choose to do so, we will receive some information about you from that third-party social media platform.

We treat information received from third-party social media platforms as covered under this Privacy Policy.
