Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 29, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to NewsLearner. We prioritize your privacy through a "local-first" and "anonymous" approach. We do not collect your name, email, or phone number.

2. Anonymous Authentication

            NewsLearner uses Anonymous Sign-In
            When you open the app, we create a random, anonymous ID for you.
We do not know who you are. We have no access to your personal identity.
Purpose: This ID is used solely to verify your "Pro" subscription status with our
                    payment provider (RevenueCat) and to manage technical limits (e.g., daily AI usage credits).

        

3. Where We Store Your Data

a. Learning Data (Local)

All your saved words, reading history, and game progress are stored ONLY on your device. We do not transmit your vocabulary lists or reading habits to our servers.

b. Server Data (Minimal)

We rely on Supabase only for:

Anonymous Session: Keeping you logged in without a password.
Usage Credits: Counting how many free/pro features you used today covering AI costs.

4. Data Loss Warning

Because your account is anonymous and your data is local:

If you delete the app, you lose your data.
If you switch phones, you cannot transfer your vocabulary (Android to iOS or vice versa).
We cannot recover your account because we do not know your email.

5. Third-Party Services

RevenueCat: Handles subscriptions. It links your purchase to your anonymous ID.
Google AdMob: Displays ads (for free users). AdMob may use device identifiers to show relevant ads.
OpenAI: Processes text for translation/simplification but does not store your content training data.
TikTok (Login Kit & Content Posting API): Used only to publish our own videos to our own TikTok channel — see Section 6 for details.

6. TikTok Integration

NewsLearner operates an official TikTok channel and uses TikTok's Login Kit and Content Posting API to publish NewsLearner's own educational videos to NewsLearner's own TikTok account. This integration is used exclusively by our team for our brand account — it does not involve app users or their accounts in any way.

a. What data we access from TikTok

Basic account info (user.info.basic): the display name, avatar and open ID of our own brand account, used solely to confirm the correct account is connected.
Video publishing (video.publish): permission to upload and publish videos that we produce to our own account.

b. What we store and for how long

OAuth access and refresh tokens for our own account, stored securely on our infrastructure and used only to authenticate publishing requests.
We do not access, collect, or store any data about other TikTok users, followers, viewers, or app users through this integration.
Tokens are deleted when the integration is disconnected. You can also revoke access at any time from the TikTok app's security settings.

c. Data sharing

Data obtained from TikTok is never sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising. It is used only to operate our own channel.

7. Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. In fact, we do not collect personal information from anyone.
