Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 1, 2026

The short version

Vocab does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. There are no accounts, no analytics, no tracking pixels, and no third-party services that monitor your usage. Everything you do in the app stays entirely on your device.

What we collect

Nothing. Vocab is a fully offline application. Your vocabulary progress, saved words, quiz results, and preferences are stored locally on your device using an on-device database. We have no servers, no databases, and no way to access your information.

Data storage

All app data is stored locally on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch. If you delete the app, all data is removed with it. Vocab uses Apple's App Group container to share data between the main app and its widgets — this data never leaves your device.

Third-party services

Vocab does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The app uses Apple's built-in text-to-speech (AVSpeechSynthesizer) for word pronunciation, which processes audio entirely on your device.

Purchases

Vocab is a one-time purchase of $4.99 through the Apple App Store. Payment processing is handled entirely by Apple. We do not receive or store any payment information.

Children's privacy

Because Vocab does not collect any data from any user, it is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 or any other age group.

Changes to this policy

If we ever update this privacy policy, we will post the changes on this page with a revised date. Given that we collect no data, we do not anticipate significant changes.
