Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Commitment

We don't like when apps collect and sell user data. We are NOT doing this.

Avelan is developed by an independent developer based in Sweden who strongly believes in user privacy. We will never store personal information about users and will never sell user data.

Anonymous Analytics (The Only Data We Collect)

We collect minimal, anonymous analytics data solely to improve the app:

• Crash reports — anonymous reports to fix technical issues
• Popular languages — e.g. "German: 40%, Spanish: 35%"
• Feature usage — which sections are used most, to improve functionality

All analytics data is completely anonymous. No personal identifiers are ever collected and there is no way to trace data back to individual users. We never sell this data.

Audio Downloads

• Lesson 1 audio is bundled in the app (no download needed).
• Lessons 2+ are downloaded from our secure Firebase Storage servers.
• Once downloaded, audio is cached locally for offline playback.
• No personal information is sent during downloads.

Data We Never Collect

• No personal information (name, email, phone)
• No account creation or registration required
• No location data
• No camera or microphone access
• No contacts or photo library access
• No browsing or behavioral tracking
• No user profiles

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The app stores the following on your device only:

• Lesson progress and completion status
• Study time, streaks, and learning statistics
• Language preferences and settings
• Daily goal progress and achievements
• Audio playback statistics and downloaded audio files

All personal data remains on your device and is never shared.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We use reputable analytics services (Firebase Crashlytics) for crash reporting and anonymous usage statistics. These services only receive anonymous, aggregated data. No personal information is ever shared.

We will never sell, rent, or share your information. No advertising networks or data brokers are involved.

Your Rights and Controls

• Access: View your progress within the app.
• Modify: Change settings and preferences at any time.
• Delete: Remove all data by deleting the app.

Children's Privacy

Since no personal data is collected and all information stays on the device, the app is safe for users of all ages.

EU Privacy Standards (GDPR)

As a Sweden-based developer, we adhere to the highest European privacy standards:

• Data Minimization — only necessary data for app functionality
• Purpose Limitation — data used only for learning features and anonymous analytics
• Local Processing — all personal data processing on your device
• No Profiling — no user profiles or behavioral analysis
• Transparency — full disclosure of data practices
• User Control — you maintain complete control over your data

Data Storage and Security

All user data is stored locally using Apple's SwiftData framework with iOS standard encryption. No data is transmitted to external servers. Data persists until you delete the app or reset your progress.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users by updating the "Last Updated" date and providing in-app notice for significant changes.
