Privacy Policy

We only collect what we need to run the app.

• Account information. Your email address, the first name you choose, and (if you sign in with Google) the basic profile information Google shares with us.
• Photos you capture. Pictures of book pages you take inside Vocaboodie so we can detect the words you highlighted.
• Your learning content. The words, translations, example sentences, decks, and review history you build up while using the app.
• Usage and analytics. Anonymous information about how the app is used (pages visited, buttons pressed, crashes) so we can fix bugs and improve features.
• Payment data for Premium. When you subscribe, our payment processor handles your card details directly. We never see or store full card numbers, we only receive a confirmation that the subscription is active.

• To detect highlighted words in the photos you upload.
• To translate words into your chosen language and generate example sentences.
• To schedule your reviews using a smart review schedule.
• To show ads to free-tier users, helping us keep the free plan free.
• To send important account messages (password resets, receipts, service updates).
• To prevent abuse, fraud, and keep the service safe.

We do not sell your personal data. We share limited information with trusted processors that help us run Vocaboodie:

• Hosting and database providers that store your account and decks.
• Image and translation providers that process the photos and words you capture.
• Payment processor that handles Premium subscriptions.
• Advertising partners that serve ads to free-tier users.
• Analytics providers that give us aggregate usage stats.

Each processor is bound by a contract that limits how they can use the data we send them.

We use a small number of cookies and similar storage to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and measure how the app is used. You can clear these any time from your browser settings. Disabling them may sign you out or affect how the app behaves.

We keep your account and learning content for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we need to keep limited records (for example, invoices) to meet legal or accounting obligations.

You can ask us to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Export your decks and saved words.
• Correct information that is wrong.
• Delete your account and the data linked to it.

To make any of these requests, email privacy@vocaboodie.com.

Vocaboodie is not designed for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Vocaboodie runs on global infrastructure, so your data may be processed in countries outside the one you live in. When that happens, we rely on standard contractual clauses and reputable providers to keep your data protected.

If we make meaningful changes, we will update the date at the top and, when appropriate, notify you by email or inside the app.
