Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Study progress and app preferences

VocaTR stores learning data on your device so the app can work properly. This may include:

• Words you have studied
• Words marked as known or missed
• Seen count, correct count, and missed count
• Last studied dates
• Daily study statistics
• Study settings such as selected level, study mode, study direction, session size, daily goal, pronunciation mode, theme, accent color, language, haptics, and reminder settings

This information is used to show your progress, continue your study sessions, and personalize the app experience.

Feedback and support messages

If you send feedback, report a bug, or suggest a word correction from inside the app, we may collect:

• The message you write
• Feedback type, such as feedback, bug report, or correction suggestion
• App name
• App version and build number
• App language
• Platform
• Submission time

We use this information to respond to issues, improve the app, and correct content problems.

Device and app information

VocaTR may use limited technical information to keep the app working, configure features, and understand app compatibility. This may include:

• Platform, such as iOS
• App version
• Build number
• App language or locale
• Time zone
• Anonymous app or device identifiers used by app services

We do not ask you to create a personal account.

Notifications

VocaTR can send daily study reminders if you enable notifications.

Reminder settings, such as whether reminders are enabled and the selected reminder time, are stored so the app can schedule reminders. You can disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings or inside the app.

Speech recognition

VocaTR includes an optional speaking practice mode. If you use this feature, the app may request microphone and speech recognition permission.

Speech recognition is used only to check whether the word you said matches the expected answer. VocaTR does not store your audio recordings or upload your audio recordings to our own servers.

You can use the app without speaking mode by choosing manual answer mode.

Purchases

If premium features are offered, purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. VocaTR does not receive or store your full payment card information.

2. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

• Provide vocabulary study sessions
• Save and display learning progress
• Show word statistics and study history
• Manage daily goals and reminders
• Personalize app settings
• Enable optional speaking practice
• Receive and review feedback, bug reports, and correction suggestions
• Maintain, debug, and improve the app
• Configure app features and limits

3. Third-Party Services

VocaTR uses third-party services to operate some features.

Firebase

VocaTR uses Firebase services, including Firebase Remote Config and Cloud Firestore.

Firebase Remote Config may be used to configure app behavior, such as feature availability or study limits.

Cloud Firestore may be used to store feedback, bug reports, and correction suggestions submitted by users.

Firebase services are provided by Google and may process technical information according to Google’s own privacy practices.

Apple services

VocaTR may use Apple services for:

• App Store purchases
• Notification permission management
• Speech recognition features, if enabled by the user

Apple may process information according to Apple’s own privacy practices.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not use your data to track you across other companies’ apps or websites.

We may share limited information with service providers only when needed to operate app features, such as Firebase for feedback storage and remote configuration, or Apple for App Store purchases and system-level features.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the security and integrity of the app.

5. Data Retention

Study progress and app preferences are stored on your device and remain there unless you reset app data or uninstall the app.

Feedback, bug reports, and correction suggestions may be retained as long as needed to review the request, improve the app, fix bugs, or maintain records of product decisions.

6. Your Choices

You can:

• Disable notifications in iOS Settings
• Choose not to use speaking practice
• Use manual answer mode instead of speech recognition
• Avoid sending feedback or support messages
• Delete the app to remove local app data from your device
• Contact us to request deletion of feedback or support messages you submitted

Because VocaTR does not currently require personal account creation, there is no account deletion flow inside the app.

7. Children’s Privacy

VocaTR is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through feedback or support messages, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed by the app. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the effective date above.

Continued use of VocaTR after changes means you accept the updated policy.
