What Loquus is

Loquus is a language-learning app for iOS. Lessons, progress, streaks, and preferences work entirely on your device. Loquus uses an Apple-managed CloudKit container solely for issue reports that you choose to submit; it is not used for accounts, analytics, advertising, or learning profiles.

Information we collect

We do not collect information through ordinary use of the app, apart from the crash reports in the Android beta described below. Specifically:

• No Loquus account. Loquus does not ask for your name or email address and does not create its own login. Sending an optional issue report requires iCloud, as explained below.
• No analytics or tracking. Loquus does not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking software, and does not share data with third parties for advertising purposes.
• No ads. Loquus shows no advertising and embeds no ad networks. If you installed Loquus after tapping an ad we ran, your device may send Apple's anonymous SKAdNetwork conversion signal, described below.

Voluntary issue reports

When you tap the shield button, describe a problem, and tap Send report, Loquus sends only that voluntary report to our Apple-managed CloudKit support inbox. Depending on the screen, it may include your description, issue category, a screenshot of the current app screen, app build, device type, operating-system version, selected course, learning mode, and the lesson or game identifier. Because the attachment is a capture of the visible screen, it can include lesson text or an answer visible on that screen. It does not include your full learning profile, account information, microphone audio, or payment details.

We use these reports only to investigate and resolve the issue. The report database is configured so learners can create their own report but cannot read anyone else's. CloudKit automatically associates the report with an app-specific creator identifier for the signed-in iCloud account; we do not use that identifier to create a Loquus account or learning profile. Reports are reviewed and deleted when no longer needed, and are not used for advertising, analytics, or tracking. Avoid including sensitive personal information in the free-text description. If iCloud is unavailable, Loquus offers a prefilled support email instead.

In TestFlight, you can also choose the separate TestFlight feedback option. That feedback is sent through Apple's TestFlight flow after you choose to submit it there.

Crash reports in the Android beta

Loquus for Android is in beta testing. While the beta runs, the Android app includes Firebase Crashlytics, a crash reporting service from Google, so that we can find and fix crashes. When the app crashes, Crashlytics sends Google a report containing what went wrong in the code, the app version, technical details about the device at that moment (such as its model, Android version and free memory), and a random identifier for that installation of the app. The report does not contain your name, your email address, or anything about your lessons or progress. We use these reports only to fix the app, and Google deletes them after 90 days. We will remove Crashlytics from the Android app when the beta ends. None of this applies to Loquus on iOS.

What's stored, and where

Your learning progress (which words you know, your streak, your preferences, and similar) is saved in a file on your own device, the same way any other app saves its local settings. It is never transmitted to the CloudKit support inbox. If you delete Loquus from your device, that local data is deleted with it. Loquus does not back this data up to any server of ours.

Microphone and speech recognition

Loquus optionally uses your device's microphone so you can practice saying words aloud and get feedback on your pronunciation. This uses Apple's on-device speech recognition. Your voice is processed entirely on your device and is never recorded, saved, or sent anywhere, including to us. You can decline microphone access and still use every other part of the app.

Ad attribution (SKAdNetwork)

If we run App Store ads and you install Loquus after tapping one, Apple's SKAdNetwork framework may send the ad network an anonymous, aggregate conversion signal from your device: that the app was installed, and later a coarse value indicating that a trial started or a subscription began. This signal is designed by Apple to contain no identifiers — no name, no device ID, no learning data — and neither we nor the ad network can connect it to you. It exists so we can tell whether an ad worked at all, and nothing more. If you did not arrive through an ad, no signal is sent.

Purchases and subscriptions

Loquus offers optional subscriptions ("Loquus Plus") through Apple's App Store. All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple. Loquus never sees or stores your payment details, card number, or billing address. What we receive from Apple is limited to whether your subscription is currently active, which is used only to unlock the relevant features in the app.

Children's privacy

Loquus is not directed at children under 13. Ordinary app use does not transmit learning data, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through voluntary issue reports. If you believe a child submitted personal information in a report, contact us so we can delete it.

Your rights

Your learning data has no external record for us to give you, correct, or delete. You may request deletion of a voluntary issue report by contacting us with the approximate submission time and issue details. Deleting the app deletes its local learning data. If you have questions about this, or believe this policy doesn't fully answer something you're required to be told under your local law (for example under the GDPR or CCPA), contact us using the details below.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, an updated version will be posted at this same address with a new "Last updated" date. Because Loquus doesn't collect contact information from users, we have no way to notify you directly, so please check back if you have concerns.
