Privacy
The short version: we store what the product needs in order to teach you words. You can delete your account at any moment, and the data is erased with it.
What we store
The account: name, email address, translation and menu language, and either a password hash or the identifier of the Google account you signed in with, along with the avatar that comes with it.
The learning: the languages you added, the words you keep, your own notes and mnemonics on them, the answers you gave and the schedule built out of them.
The API tokens you create yourself, if you connect a bot.
The last visit: website or app, operating system, browser and time — so we can see where the product is used.
What it is for
Only to run the product: to build the next dictation, to show your progress, and to send the letters an account needs, such as confirming an address or resetting a password.
We do not sell this data and we do not show advertising.
Outside services
Parts of the product run through outside services: delivering mail, synthesising pronunciation, generating examples and the story of the day, and signing in with Google if you use it. What they need in order to do that reaches them.
We count visits to the site with Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica, on the public pages and inside the account alike. Once you sign in, Google Analytics gets the internal number of your account; your name and email address never go there.
Cookies
Our own: a session cookie and a form protection cookie keep a sign in and a form working and last two hours after your last action on the site. A remembered sign in, after registering, signing in with Google or Apple, or ticking “Remember me”, is held by one more cookie for up to 400 days.
Google Analytics sets _ga and _ga_*: they tell one visitor and their visits from another and last up to two years.
Yandex Metrica sets _ym_*: they tell one visitor from another and remember the date of the first visit; the longest lived of them last up to a year.
There is no advertising cookie.
Deleting the account
The account is closed at once: signing in stops, and API tokens, the bot link and phone notifications are switched off.
The data is erased from the database by itself 30 days after closing: your languages, words with their notes, answers and history.
Until then the account can be brought back: write to [email protected] from the account’s address.
The words of the shared dictionary stay: they are not yours, and they carry nothing of yours.
Copies of the database in backup archives last until the archive expires, for up to 2 years.
