Privacy Policy

Word by Word

App Data

Word by Word does not require an account. Study progress, scores and settings are stored on your device.

Requests to our services include the study language, content identifiers and app-verification information. We use these to provide vocabulary, audio and pronunciation checking, and to protect access to the services. Server access logs may include IP addresses and request details.

Microphone and Speech Recognition

Microphone access is used for pronunciation practice. Recognition can run on your device or on our server. For server recognition, the recording is sent to our server to return a transcript. We do not retain the recording or transcript after processing the request.

Analytics and Diagnostics

We use Google Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to understand app usage and diagnose errors. They process installation identifiers, app interactions, approximate location, device and operating-system information, and crash and performance diagnostics. These records can be associated with an app installation. They do not include pronunciation recordings or transcripts.

We require third-party providers handling app data to protect it to a standard at least equivalent to this policy. Google processes these data under its applicable data-protection terms. See Firebase Privacy and Security for its processing and retention practices. We do not use these data for cross-app advertising tracking.

Retention and Data Requests

Local app data can be removed from your device by deleting the app. Server logs are kept for service troubleshooting and security and removed through log rotation. Deleting the app does not delete analytics, diagnostic or server-log records already collected.

You can revoke microphone permission in iOS Settings. For privacy questions, withdrawal of consent, or requests concerning access, correction or deletion of personal data, contact info@apakabar.fm.
