This Privacy Policy describes how the English With Me mobile application ("the App", "we", "us") handles your information when you use it.
Information we collect
Account data
- Email address: used to authenticate your account (via Firebase Authentication).
- Sign-in identifier: a unique user ID issued by Firebase / Apple Sign In to associate your data with your account.
Content you create
- Persona descriptions, scripts, notes, conversation transcripts, podcast / book metadata you add, vocabulary lists, saved phrasebook entries, and other content you author or import while using the App.
Voice recordings
- When you use the Conversation or Pronunciation features, audio you record is transmitted to our server, transcribed by a speech-to-text provider (OpenAI Whisper or Microsoft Azure Speech Services), and then discarded after transcription unless explicitly noted otherwise. We do not store raw audio long-term as of this version.
Activity data
- Foreground usage time (per-day aggregate, in seconds), used to render the activity heatmap on the Home screen.
- Daily usage counts per feature, used to enforce daily-quota limits.
- Last visited feature, stored locally on your device (not transmitted), used to populate Home shortcuts.
Technical data
- Standard mobile-app diagnostics (device OS, app version) may be transmitted with API requests for debugging purposes.
How we use your information
- To provide the service: process your inputs, generate responses, save your content for later retrieval.
- To enforce usage limits: rate-limit each account to the published daily quotas.
- To improve the App: aggregate, anonymized usage patterns may inform feature priorities. We do not sell or share individual user data with advertisers.
