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 have the data erased on request.
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.
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.
Inside the signed in part of the site we count how the product is used. The email address goes there hashed, never in the clear. The public pages, the dictionary and the guides among them, load no analytics at all.
Cookies
The site sets its own session cookie, and that is what keeps a sign in and a form working. 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 itself is not erased: your languages, words with their notes, answers and history stay in the database.
To have it erased, write to [email protected] from the account’s address. We erase all of it from the database within 30 days of the request.
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.
