ClearLingo Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 29, 2026
App name: ClearLingo
Package name: com.jaswanth.clearlingo

1. Introduction

ClearLingo ("we," "our," or "the app") is an English-learning application designed to help users improve their English vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening, and speaking skills.

We respect your privacy and aim to minimize the collection of personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and shared when you use ClearLingo.

By using ClearLingo, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. Where consent is legally required, we will request it separately.

2. Information We Collect

A. Information Stored on Your Device

ClearLingo is designed to store core learning information locally on your device.

Depending on the features you use, this may include:

• Learning goals and preferences.

• Lesson completion and quiz results.

• Vocabulary favorites and revision history.

• Learning progress and streaks.

• App settings and theme preferences.

• Achievements and daily learning activity.

This information is stored locally to provide learning features and is not intentionally uploaded to our own server.

Your local data may be lost if you uninstall the app, clear its storage, or reset your learning progress, unless you have separately exported or backed it up.

B. App Usage and Analytics Information

ClearLingo uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand how users interact with the app and to improve its performance and learning experience.

Depending on the app configuration and your device settings, analytics information may include:

• App launches and sessions.

• First-time app launches.

• Active user and engagement measurements.

• Lessons started and completed.

• Speaking practice activity.

• Vocabulary review activity.

• General app interaction events.

• App version, device information, and other technical information supported by the analytics service.

Analytics information is processed by Google according to its applicable terms and privacy policies.

We aim to use event-based analytics without collecting the contents of your answers or other sensitive learning information.

We do not intentionally send microphone recordings, recognized speech transcripts, passwords, or personal messages to Firebase Analytics.

C. Speech Recognition and Text-to-Speech

ClearLingo may use Android speech recognition and text-to-speech capabilities to support speaking and listening practice.

When you use microphone-based features, the app may process audio to produce a recognized transcript for the exercise.

Speech recognition availability and processing depend on the Android speech service, device configuration, installed language services, and whether an internet connection is required.

Some speech services may process audio through an external provider. That provider may handle audio and related information according to its own privacy policy and service settings.

ClearLingo does not intentionally transmit microphone recordings to its own server.

Text-to-speech may use locally installed voices or other speech services depending on your device.

D. Notifications

If you enable learning reminders, ClearLingo may schedule notifications on your device.

Notifications may remind you to complete lessons, review vocabulary, or continue your learning routine.

You can disable notifications through the app settings where available or through Android system settings.

E. Information We Do Not Intentionally Require

ClearLingo does not require you to create an account to use its core learning features.

We do not intentionally require your name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts, or payment information for basic learning functionality.

The Android operating system or integrated services may process certain technical information as described in their own policies.

3. How We Use Information

Information processed by ClearLingo may be used to:

• Provide English-learning lessons and exercises.

• Save learning progress on your device.

• Schedule vocabulary reviews.

• Personalize recommendations using local learning history.

• Provide speaking and listening functionality.

• Display optional learning reminders.

• Understand general app engagement through analytics.

• Identify usage patterns and improve the application.

• Troubleshoot technical issues where supported.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Data Storage and Security

Core learning data is designed to remain in local app storage on your device.

Firebase Analytics data is processed using Google's services and infrastructure according to the applicable Firebase and Google privacy documentation.

We use reasonable technical measures appropriate to the application to protect information under our control. However, no storage method or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Anyone with access to your unlocked device or its accessible app data may be able to access locally stored information.

5. Third-Party Services

ClearLingo uses Google Firebase Analytics for app usage measurement.

Android speech recognition or text-to-speech providers may also process information when their services are used.

Third-party services are governed by their own terms, policies, and technical configurations. We encourage users to review the relevant policies.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information.

Information may be processed by third-party service providers when necessary to deliver features or analytics, as described in this policy.

We may also disclose information when required by applicable law or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, and security of users or the application.

We do not intentionally include learning answers, speech transcripts, or microphone recordings in Firebase Analytics events.

7. Children's Privacy

ClearLingo is an educational application. We do not intentionally require children to provide personal information to use its core learning features.

Parents and guardians should supervise children's use of the application and review the behavior of any integrated third-party services, including speech recognition.

If you believe personal information has been collected inappropriately from a child, contact us so we can review the matter and take appropriate action where required.

If the app is distributed or marketed to children, additional child privacy requirements and Google Play Families policies may apply.

8. Your Choices and Controls

You can control your use of ClearLingo through available app and Android settings.

Depending on the implemented features, you may be able to:

• Change your learning goals and preferences.

• Disable learning reminders.

• Deny microphone permission.

• Manage relevant Android speech-service settings.

• Reset locally stored learning progress.

• Clear the app's local storage through Android settings.

• Uninstall the app.

If analytics controls are provided in the app, you can use them to manage analytics collection. Android and Google may also provide additional privacy controls.

Uninstalling ClearLingo does not necessarily delete information already processed by Google Analytics. Requests concerning information held by Google may need to be directed to Google through its applicable privacy controls.

9. Data Retention

Local learning information remains on your device until you delete it, reset the app's data, or uninstall the app, subject to Android storage behavior and any user-created exports.

Analytics information is retained according to the configuration of Firebase Analytics and Google's applicable retention policies.

We do not claim to control or immediately delete analytics data retained by third-party providers.

10. International Data Processing

Because ClearLingo uses Google Firebase Analytics, analytics information may be processed in locations where Google or its service providers operate, subject to applicable laws and Google's service arrangements.

The availability of speech services may also involve processing by third-party providers.

Where required, applicable safeguards and legal requirements govern such processing.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the application's features, third-party services, or legal requirements.

When changes are made, we will update the effective date shown at the beginning of this policy. Significant changes may also be communicated through the app or another appropriate channel.

We encourage users to review this policy periodically.

13. Additional Information

This Privacy Policy describes the intended privacy practices of ClearLingo. The actual practices depend on the final app implementation, the Firebase Analytics configuration, Android speech services, and any other integrated third-party SDKs.

If the app adds new data collection, advertising, account functionality, cloud synchronization, or other third-party services, this policy and the applicable Google Play disclosures must be updated accordingly.
