Thank you for using English Phrase Verb (“the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).
Your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use the App. Please read this carefully to understand what data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have.
1. Overview
English Phrase Verb is an educational app designed to help users learn and practice English phrasal verbs.
We are committed to maintaining your privacy by minimizing data collection and ensuring that all personal and learning information remains secure and under your control.
This app is fully compliant with:
  • Google Play Developer Policy (2025)
  • EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
  • Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
2. Information We Collect
We only collect minimal information necessary to provide and improve the app experience.
2.1 On-Device Data (Stored Locally)
These are saved only on your device and never uploaded to our servers:
  • Learning progress (quizzes, favorites, streaks)
  • Preferences (theme, language, reminders)
  • App settings (notification preference, sound toggle)
This data remains private and is deleted automatically when you uninstall the app or manually clear app data.
2.2 Optional Analytics and Diagnostics
If you opt in, we may collect anonymous data to help improve app performance and stability. This includes:
  • App version and crash reports
  • Feature usage (e.g., which sections are most used)
  • Device type and OS version (for optimization only)
These analytics are processed using Google Play’s built-in services (e.g., Play Console Crash Reporting, Firebase Crashlytics), without identifying you personally.
You can disable analytics at any time in Settings → Privacy → Analytics.
2.3 Contact Information (Optional)
If you choose to contact us via email for support, your message and email address will be used solely to respond to your request and will not be stored or shared beyond that purpose.

  • Personal identifiers (name, address, phone number)
  • Contacts or calendar data
  • Media files, photos, or microphone input
  • Location or GPS data
  • Device ID or advertising ID
  • Sensitive personal data
We never use third-party advertising SDKs, behavioral tracking, or data monetization.
4. Data Usage
We use the limited data we collect for:
  • Improving app performance and reliability
  • Enhancing user experience
  • Fixing bugs and ensuring compatibility
  • Responding to user requests
We do not use your data for marketing, advertising, or profiling.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not share your personal or learning data with any third party.
However, we may use trusted Google services for app diagnostics (e.g., Crashlytics, Play Services), which process data under strict privacy terms.
Your data is never sold, rented, or shared for commercial purposes.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
  • On-device data (progress, favorites) remains until you uninstall the app or clear app data manually.
  • Optional analytics data is stored only as long as necessary for technical diagnostics and is automatically anonymized.
  • You can delete all local data at any time via Settings → Data → Clear Local Data.
If you have contacted us via email, you can request deletion of your message by contacting our support address.

Our app is suitable for users aged 3 and above.
