Privacy
Plain language version, with the legal one at the bottom.
What we collect
- Email address, when you sign up. Used to send you the
magic login link and (rarely) product updates you can unsubscribe from.
- The words you save, text only, including the source
sentence and the AI-generated card. Stored so you can review them.
- Subscription state, managed by Stripe; we store
your Stripe customer ID and your plan status.
- Anonymous demo usage, when you try the demo without
signing up, we hash your IP address (one-way, salted) and count up to
5 lookups per day to enforce the cap. We do not store the raw IP.
About the microphone
The mic only opens when you press the mic button. Audio is streamed
live to our speech-to-text provider (Deepgram or Speechmatics) and
discarded after transcription. We do not retain raw audio. We keep
the recognized text and the card we generate from it.
What we don’t do
- We don’t sell your data.
- We don’t ship analytics SDKs to third parties (no Google Analytics,
no Facebook pixel) at this time. If we add one for a marketing test
we’ll mention it here first.
- We don’t profile you for ads.
Service providers we use
- Stripe, payment processing (your card data goes
straight to Stripe, we never see it).
- Deepgram or Speechmatics, speech-
to-text (live audio stream, discarded post-recognition).
- OpenAI / Groq, generating the learning card from
the recognized word (text in, text out, no audio).
- Brevo, sending login emails.
- Hetzner, hosting (EU data center).
- Google Drive, encrypted nightly database backups.
Deleting your account
Sign in, go to Account, click Delete my account. Your user
record, your saved words, your settings, and your subscription record
are removed. Stripe records (required for tax / accounting law) are
retained per Stripe’s policy.
