Plain-language summary first, full detail below. The short version: we collect as little as possible, we never sell your data, and your saved words are yours to delete anytime.
This policy explains what information spelvi (“we”, “us”) collects when you use our apps and website, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It applies to the spelvi iOS and Android apps and spelvi.com.
We do not collect contacts, precise location, or advertising identifiers.
We use the information above only to operate and improve spelvi: to sync your progress, personalise lesson pacing against the CEFR scale, score pronunciation, provide support, and keep the service secure. We do not build advertising profiles and we do not sell or rent your personal data to anyone.
When you use pronunciation scoring, your microphone audio is processed to generate a score and feedback. This audio is not stored on our servers unless you explicitly save a recording for your own review. Saved recordings live in your account and can be deleted at any time.
spelvi's AI helpers (in-context explanations, story generation, mistake breakdowns) send the relevant text — for example the sentence you tapped — to a processing provider to generate a response. We minimise what is sent, do not include your identity in those requests, and do not use your private content to train third-party models.
We share data only with service providers who help us run spelvi, and only the minimum each needs: Apple and Google (sign-in, and billing for purchases), Adapty (subscription management), Google Firebase (crash and usage diagnostics), Sentry (server error monitoring), and Groq and Mistral AI (AI inference for the helper features). These processors are bound to protect your data and use it solely to provide their service to us. We may disclose information if required by law.
Your data is encrypted in transit. Free cloud backup keeps your saved words and progress available across devices signed in to your account; this account data is stored on our own servers located in the EU (Estonia), not in a third-party cloud. Subscriptions are handled by the App Store or Google Play; we never see your full card details.
spelvi is intended for users aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will remove it.
If we make material changes to this policy, we'll update the date above and, for significant changes, notify you in the app or by email. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
