TalkAwake — Privacy policy

Last updated: 2026-11-10

TalkAwake (“the app”) has no accounts, and we do not collect your personal information. Ads shown in the app are handled by the ad provider as described in the Advertising section below.

  1. Information we collect — None. We do not receive personal information such as names, contact details, or location, and we never send your learning data to a server.
  2. Data stored on your device — Learning records such as your progress, review schedule, saved expressions, and settings are stored only on your device and are never sent to us. If automatic phone backup (iCloud, Google backup) is on, they may be backed up to your own account. Uninstalling the app deletes these records from the device; because we keep no copy, we cannot restore them.
  3. Advertising — The banner ad at the bottom of the app is provided by Google AdMob. To show ads and prevent invalid use, Google processes your IP address, device and app information, advertising identifier, and records of ads viewed and tapped; this information is sent over the internet to Google LLC (United States) when an ad is shown. The app does not request personalized ads and never uses your learning data for ads. You can reset or delete the advertising identifier in your device settings. Retention and processing follow Google’s Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy).
  4. Sharing with third parties — We do not share your information with third parties or entrust its processing to them. Ad-related data is processed directly by Google as described in the Advertising section.
  5. Device permissions — The only permission the app asks for is notification permission, when you turn on the study reminder; every learning feature works without it. The reminder time and text stay on your device and are never sent to us.
  6. Children — The app is not directed to children under 13 and does not collect children’s information.
  7. Changes — If this policy changes, we will post it in the app with a new last-updated date.
