Language Alarm Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Language Alarm collects minimal data:

• User Preferences: Selected language, difficulty level, word lists, and alarm times are stored locally on your device only.
• Voice Snooze (optional, off by default): If you enable Voice Snooze in Preferences, the app requests microphone access so you can snooze an alarm by speaking the displayed word aloud instead of tapping a button. Audio is processed in real time by Android's built-in speech recognition service, which may be provided by Google, to produce a text transcript. That transcript is compared on-device against the target word. Language Alarm does not record, store, or transmit raw audio itself. The feature listens only during a brief window while the alarm is actively ringing.
• Text-to-Speech Playback: Language Alarm uses Android's on-device Google Text-to-Speech engine to speak words aloud. Text is synthesized locally on your device. We do not send text to a cloud API or collect device identifiers or usage counts for this feature.
• In-App Purchases: If you purchase the optional Remove Ads upgrade, the transaction is handled entirely by Google Play Billing. Language Alarm does not collect or store your payment information. Google Play manages all billing and payment data according to its own privacy policy.

Information We Do Not Collect

• Personal information, such as your name, email address, or phone number
• Location data
• Contact information
• Browsing history
• Recorded or stored audio or voice data
• Payment or billing information

Third-Party Services

• Google AdMob: Displays ads within the app and may collect device identifiers and other data as described in Google's Privacy Policy .
• Google Play Billing: Processes in-app purchases, such as removing ads. Payment data is handled by Google, not by Language Alarm.
• Android Speech Recognition Service: When Voice Snooze is enabled, your spoken audio is processed by the device's speech recognition service, provided by the operating system or Google, to generate a text transcript. See Google's Privacy Policy for information about how that service handles audio.
• Google Text-to-Speech (on-device): Converts word text into spoken audio locally on your device.

Permissions We Use

• Microphone (optional): Used only for the Voice Snooze feature described above and only while an alarm is actively ringing. You can disable this feature at any time in Preferences. The app will not request microphone access unless you turn this feature on.
• Exact Alarm and Notification Permissions: Used to reliably trigger and display your alarms.

Data Storage

All preferences, alarm settings, and generated audio files are stored locally on your device. Deleting the app removes all locally stored data. We do not operate any servers that store your personal data.

Children's Privacy

Language Alarm does not knowingly collect personal information from children. The app does not require account creation and stores all data locally on the device.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the app's features change. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
