Welcome to Pocket Linguist ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and safeguard your information.

Images captured through Vision Mode are processed in real-time and are not stored on our servers. Image data is transmitted to Google Gemini API solely for the purpose of object recognition and is subject to Google's privacy practices.
The App requests access to your device's microphone to enable pronunciation practice features. Microphone access is used solely for the following purposes:
Audio recordings are processed locally on your device or transmitted to our speech recognition services solely for pronunciation analysis. We do not retain audio recordings after processing is complete.

We want to be clear about the data we do not collect:

Please note that revoking these permissions will disable the corresponding features (Vision Mode and pronunciation practice) but will not affect other App functionality.

The App is designed for general audiences and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us immediately at the address below.

If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this Privacy Policy and, where appropriate, through the App or other reasonable means. Your continued use of the App following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
If you access the App from outside the United States, please be aware that data transmitted to Google Gemini API or other third-party services may be processed in countries other than your country of residence. By using the App, you consent to such transfers and processing.
