Privacy Policy for VocabPop
Privacy Summary: VocabPop does not require user registration, does not collect, store, or sell personal data, and does not track your location, contacts, microphone, or camera.
1. Introduction
Welcome to VocabPop ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how the VocabPop mobile application (Package ID: ) handles information when you install and use our multilingual vocabulary quiz game on Android devices.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
VocabPop is designed to be played immediately without creating an account. We do not collect, transmit, or store any Personally Identifiable Information (PII), including:
- Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or account credentials
- Precise or approximate geographic location data
- Contacts, call logs, SMS messages, or calendar entries
- Photos, videos, microphone recordings, or camera inputs
- Advertising identifiers or cross-app behavioral tracking profiles
3. Local Device Storage (Game Progress & Preferences)
All gameplay statistics and user settings—including your selected language, game mode, current score, best streak, and accuracy counters—are stored exclusively in volatile or local on-device memory during your session.
- You can reset your session statistics at any time inside the app using the Reset Stats button in the Stats dialog.
- Uninstalling the application or clearing the application's storage/cache in your Android system settings permanently removes all locally cached data.
4. Internet Access & Wikimedia Commons Images
VocabPop uses standard Android network permissions (android.permission.INTERNET) solely to fetch educational vocabulary photographs from Wikimedia Commons (operated by the Wikimedia Foundation) to illustrate quiz words.
- When the app loads an illustration for a vocabulary word, your device makes a standard HTTPS image request to
upload.wikimedia.orgorcommons.wikimedia.org. - Downloaded vocabulary images are cached locally inside the app's private cache directory on your device to reduce bandwidth usage and speed up subsequent rounds.
- Standard technical metadata inherent to any HTTP request (such as IP address and User-Agent header) is governed by the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy.
5. Device Text-to-Speech (TTS) & Audio
VocabPop uses your Android device's built-in Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine and local audio synthesis (`AudioTrack`) to pronounce vocabulary words in the language you select and play sound effects. All speech synthesis and sound effects are processed locally on your device. No voice or audio data is recorded or sent to external servers.
6. Permissions Used by the App
VocabPop follows the principle of least privilege and requests only the following install-time permission:
android.permission.INTERNET: Used exclusively to load educational vocabulary photographs from Wikimedia Commons.
VocabPop does not request any dangerous runtime permissions (such as Camera, Microphone, Location, Contacts, or External Storage).
7. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance)
VocabPop is an educational vocabulary game suitable for learners of all ages. Because we do not collect personal information from any user, we do not knowingly or inadvertently collect personal data from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). If you are a parent or guardian and have any questions regarding our practices, please contact us using the details below.
8. Third-Party Advertising & Analytics
VocabPop contains no third-party advertising SDKs and no third-party behavioral analytics trackers. Your gameplay activity is never shared with data brokers, ad networks, or external analytics providers.
9. Data Security
All external image requests made by VocabPop are transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections (TLS). Locally cached images are stored within Android's sandboxed application cache directory, which is inaccessible to other applications on non-rooted devices.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect technical or legal changes. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the application after any modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
