Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 September 2026

If translations differ, the English version prevails.

This Privacy Policy describes how Learn Languages Studio Limited (“we”, “us”) handles information in connection with the mobile application Learn French: Bilingual Reader (and its localized names) and this website (learnlanguagesstudio.com/frenchbooks).

Contact: support@learnlanguagesstudio.com

1. Summary

We do not use advertising or third-party analytics SDKs to track you, and we do not sell personal data. The App is designed to work primarily offline. Reading progress, reading-time statistics, and settings remain on your device. Optional store push notifications (if enabled) use Firebase／Google as described below. Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play.

2. Information stored on your device

Depending on how you use the App, your device may store:

• Reading progress, bookmarks, and favourites
• Reading time (including minutes), reading-day or streak records, dictionary lookup counts, and chapter check-in or completion records
• Display, language, and text-to-speech preferences
• Purchase unlock status (including secure on-device storage where available)
• Notification preference flags related to optional store alerts (where available)

As currently designed, the App does not upload this reading or progress information to servers operated by Learn Languages Studio Limited.

3. Purchases

In-app purchases are handled by Apple or Google under their terms and privacy policies. We do not receive your full payment card details. To restore purchases after reinstalling or changing devices, use the store account restore feature in the App.

4. Optional system features

On-device text-to-speech, sharing, and export (for example Anki or CSV) use operating-system features. Export files are created locally. Exported materials may include a short “made with” credit linking to our website. If you export a deck with on-device TTS audio, that audio comes from system voices (Apple, Google, or other engines) licensed primarily for on-device use; it is for your personal review only — do not publicly upload or redistribute it.

5. Push notifications (optional)

With your permission, the App may use Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) and on-device local notifications to tell you about bookstore updates—for example new or updated titles, or catalog / takedown notices. A device push token may be registered with Google’s Firebase services so messages can be delivered. These notices are for store and catalog operations; they are not used to upload your reading progress, bookmarks, vocabulary cards, or reading-time statistics to Learn Languages Studio Limited.

You can decline or later turn off notifications in the App settings and/or your device’s system notification settings. Uninstalling the App also stops delivery to that installation. Google’s handling of Firebase data is described in Google’s privacy documentation.

6. Sharing and social platforms

When you share images, videos, text, or other content from the App—via the system share sheet or in-app shortcuts (for example Instagram Stories or Threads)—the app you choose (such as Instagram, Threads, Facebook, WhatsApp, Messages, or others) receives what you selected and any metadata needed to complete the share. You decide whether to post and where. To delete something you already posted, use that app. If a platform offers app-permission settings (for example on Meta products), you can manage them there. We do not store your passwords for those platforms, and we do not upload your reading progress, bookmarks, or vocabulary cards to them.

7. Linguistic reference data

The App may reference open linguistic resources as described in About / Credits (including package licenses in the App). Lexique 4 (CC BY-SA 4.0) and wordfreq (Apache-2.0) inform vocabulary and difficulty labels in compiled books; verb conjugation data also draws on verbecc (LGPL-3.0) and Wiktionnaire pronominal classification (CC BY-SA 4.0).

8. Children

The App is not directed at children under 13 (or the higher age required in your region). Please do not send us personal information about children except as needed for support.

9. Data deletion

You can delete or request deletion of data as follows. For a short step-by-step page, see Data deletion info.

1. On your device. Clear reading progress, reading-time and related statistics, settings, bookmarks, favourites, glosses, and local backups in the App settings, or uninstall the App (or clear App storage). Most App data stays only on your device and is removed that way.
2. Notifications. Turn off store alerts in the App and/or system notification settings, or uninstall the App. We do not maintain a separate user account for push delivery; device tokens are handled through Firebase／Google as described above.
3. Store purchases. Purchase and restore records are managed by the Apple App Store or Google Play; we cannot delete them for you. To view, request a refund, or manage purchases or subscriptions, use the account and purchase settings in the App Store or Google Play.
4. Support email. To ask us to delete emails or records from your correspondence with us, write to support@learnlanguagesstudio.com with subject [Data Deletion] (or “delete my data”), say what you want removed, and we will handle it within a reasonable time and confirm by email, unless the law requires us to keep it.

10. Your rights and contact

For privacy questions, email support@learnlanguagesstudio.com. Depending on your region (including the EEA/UK), you may have rights under applicable law regarding personal data you send us (for example support emails). We will respond as required.

11. Changes

We may update this Policy and will revise the “Last updated” date. Where permitted by law, continued use after posting constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
