Privacy Policy
AAVE LINGO is an iPhone and iPad app made by COLDTER. This page explains what the app collects and why. The short version: no account, no ads, no tracking, and nothing that identifies you.
What the app sends
So we can see which parts of the app work and which don't, the app sends small usage events to our own server. Each event carries a random ID the app makes when it's installed. That ID isn't your name, email, phone number or advertising ID, and it isn't linked to you or to any other app.
| What | Examples | Why |
|---|---|---|
| How you use the app | Your onboarding answers (why you're learning, your level, daily goal, streak goal), lessons started, finished or quit with the number of right and wrong answers and the time taken, screens opened, the subscription page being shown | Analytics |
| Purchases | Which product was bought or canceled, whether it was a free trial, restores. Apple handles the payment: we never see your card or Apple ID. | Analytics |
| Crashes | A short error message when something breaks | Fixing bugs |
| Random IDs and app details | The random install ID, a session ID, the app version, the iOS version and the app's language. App updates are downloaded from Expo, our update service, which also gets a random ID for this install. | Analytics, delivering app updates |
What the app never collects
- Your name, email, phone number or contacts
- Your location
- Photos, the camera or the microphone
- The advertising ID (IDFA)
- Anything you type
What stays on your phone
Your progress, Ice, streak, settings and subscription status are stored only on your device. Deleting the app deletes them.
Purchases and subscriptions
Subscriptions and in-app purchases are processed by Apple under Apple's terms. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your iPhone's Settings: tap your name, then Subscriptions.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, the app schedules reminders on your phone: a nudge on days you haven't practiced and, during a free trial, a reminder 2 days before the trial ends. These are local notifications; nothing about them is sent to us.
How long we keep it
Usage events are deleted automatically after 400 days.
Your choices
Events are tied only to a random install ID, so we can't tell which events are yours. Deleting the app removes that ID, and a new install gets a new one. For any question or request, email support@coldter.com.
Children
AAVE LINGO isn't made for children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page.
