Privacy

Lexikit has no user accounts: your words, your pictures and your resources stay in your browser.

Your data

• Your projects, words, pictures and recordings are stored on your device, in your browser's storage.
• They are not sent to any server, apart from the count of words and the shared lists described below.
• To back them up or switch devices, export them to a file from the app.
• To erase everything: use the app's settings, or clear the site's data in your browser.

No cookies, no advertising

Lexikit uses no cookies, no advertising tools and no third-party analytics service. Like any host, Cloudflare, which serves the site, processes visitors' IP addresses to send them the pages.

To know whether the tool is useful and what for, the app counts a few actions, not people: the first opening of the app on a device, a PDF made, an activity started on screen (with the activity played, how long it lasted in ranges and how it ended), a resource created, a theme added (which one), words added from criteria (the language of the words, the kind of criteria and whether the list was ready-made or searched in the whole lexicon), a resource shared or received (by a link, a QR code or a file) and an error of the app (its name and the place in the code, never its message). Each action is noted with its date and time, its kind of resource (bingo, memory game…), the language of the interface and the country, region and city the connection comes from. To estimate how many people use it and whether they come back, each action also says whether it is the device's first or its first of the month, whether it is the first of its kind (first PDF, first activity, first share, first resource), for how many days the device has been using Lexikit and on how many different days, in ranges, as well as its rank in the visit and the minutes since the tab was opened. A PDF or an activity also describes its resource: its age, its number of words in ranges, whether this resource serves for the first time, whether its words come from the lexicon or are your own, and the settings that differ from Lexikit's (writing, back side, black and white, ruling…). The app knows this from markers kept in your browser and never sent. Each action also says whether it comes from a phone, a tablet or a computer, judging by the screen size (never the model of the device), the family of the browser and of the system (Safari, Chrome, iPad, Windows…) from what the browser announces, without keeping that announcement, and where the device's first visit came from: the name of the site that led there (a search engine, a social network…), never the words searched for, and the first page opened on lexikit.app. Your browser keeps this and sends it with each action. The pages of this site and the ready-to-print PDFs are counted the same way when the server sends them: the page, the country, the site that led there and the kind of device, as daily totals. No identifier, no IP address kept, no other clicks, no sentences. In Settings › Data, “Count this device” removes a device from the count.

The themes “most chosen this week” that the app shows come from the themes added on every device over seven days. Only their order is shown, never a number, and a theme chosen too few times is left out.

Words

When a resource is used for the first time, the app says which words it holds: the cards of Lexikit's lexicon (saying whether they come from a theme or from criteria, or were added one by one) and the words you wrote yourself. It also says which searches in the lexicon found nothing. It never sends a sentence. The words of a labels resource and the first names of My groups never leave. The server also sets first names aside (INSEE's file of first names) before keeping anything. The words are only kept as a total per word, per language and per day, with no place, no time and no link to the other actions. A word seen on one day only is deleted after 90 days. These totals show which words the lexicon lacks and which are used most.

Shared lists

A shared list is a word list common to a team. It is kept on Lexikit's server so that each member receives it. Your browser encrypts it before sending it, with a key that stays in the link of the list, after the # sign. This part of the link is never sent to the server: it can read neither the words nor the first names of the members.

The server keeps the number of the list, its size, the date of its changes and a fingerprint of its key, which lets it refuse requests made without the link. Only the words leave, with the lexicon pictogram chosen for each, never your photos, sounds, settings or resources. The person who created the list can delete it for everyone, in Settings › Data. A list that nobody has opened for two years is erased.

To limit the number of lists created each day, the server also keeps a fingerprint of the IP address that creates a list. This fingerprint does not give the address back, and it is erased the next day.

External services

These presentation pages call on no external service.

In the app, your browser downloads the pictograms from ARASAAC's servers, and the PDF capture tool from unpkg.com. A picture search queries Wikimedia Commons. As with any web page, these services receive your device's IP address and the names of the files requested (for example the pictograms shown).

Messages and donations

The “Contact” form sends your message and your email address to Lexikit. Some technical information goes with it to help understand a bug. In the app, this is the open screen (the type of resource and its number of words, or the search made in the lexicon), the version of Lexikit, the browser, the system and the window size. The language of the interface and of the cards, the number of words added and of resources, and the app errors of the last ten minutes are added. From the website, the message goes with the browser, the system and the language of the page. The words, first names and pictures of your resources are never sent.

Donations go through Stripe, which processes the payment: Lexikit never sees your bank details.
