Vocabi
Privacy Policy
Effective 16 July 2026
Overview
Vocabi is a language-learning app. This page explains what information we collect when you use it, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We collect the minimum we need to run the app and keep your learning progress.
Information we collect
- Account information. When you sign in — with Google, or with a Moo/liap.ca account — we receive your name, email address, and (for Google) your profile photo and a Google account identifier, so we know it's you across visits.
- Learning data. The languages you're learning, the words and phrases you gather, your practice results, and progress toward "learned" status for each word. This is the core of the app — it's how your dictionary and games stay in sync across devices.
- Content you submit. Text you paste into the Reader, and words or phrases you look up, are sent to our servers to fetch a translation or definition and, if you choose, add it to your dictionary.
- Device and performance data. The 3D world reports anonymous performance metrics (frame timing, device capability) to help us keep it running smoothly. This is not tied to your identity and is used purely for capacity planning.
- On-device storage. Some settings — your interface language, onboarding progress, items found in the 3D world — are stored only in your browser (localStorage) and are never sent to us.
How we use this information
- To run your account and keep your dictionary, decks, and progress synced.
- To generate translations and definitions when you look up a word.
- To improve the app — fixing bugs, tuning difficulty, and keeping the 3D world performant.
- To communicate with you about your account, if needed.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your learning data for advertising.
Who we share it with
- Google Sign-In — used only to verify your identity when you choose to sign in with Google.
- Our translation/definition service — the specific word or phrase you look up is sent to a third-party AI provider to generate a definition, without identifying you personally.
- PhytoEngine — the engine behind the 3D world's plants and terrain, which receives the anonymous performance data described above.
We don't share your account information or learning data with anyone else, except where required by law.
Data storage & security
Your account and learning data are stored on servers we control. We take reasonable technical measures to protect it, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
Children's privacy
Vocabi is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we'll remove it.
Your choices
- You can edit or delete individual words from your dictionary at any time inside the app.
- You can request a copy of your data, or ask us to delete your account and associated data, by contacting us below.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes to this policy, we'll update the date above and, where appropriate, let you know in the app.
