Privacy Policy
Vocab Lock Widget
The short version: Vocab Lock Widget does not collect, track, or share your personal data. Your settings, custom words, and translations stay on your device.
This policy explains what information the Vocab Lock Widget app (the “app”) and its Lock Screen widget handle, and why. It applies to the app and the widget.
1. Information we collect
We do not collect any personal information. The app does not have accounts, sign-in, analytics, advertising, or crash reporting that sends data to us or to a third party.
The app does not send any data to our servers, because it does not make network requests to fetch words or translations. Everything it needs ships with the app.
2. Information stored on your device
The app saves the following data only on your device, in the app’s shared storage that the widget can also read:
- Your settings: the English level you chose, your native language, and whether words are shown on the Lock Screen.
- Your custom words: the words you add in the Custom level.
- Translations: the meanings of words in your native language, saved so the widget can show them without a network connection.
- Widget timeline: the word and the time schedule the widget uses to update.
Deleting the app removes this data from your device.
3. Translation
Translations use Apple’s Translation framework, and they run on your device. iOS may download a language pack from Apple the first time you use a language. Apple’s own privacy policy covers that download. The app does not receive what you type or the words you translate.
4. Logs
The app writes diagnostic logs with Apple’s system logging (os.Logger) to help with troubleshooting. These logs stay on your device. You can view them only if you connect your device to a Mac and read them in Console, and we do not receive them.
5. Tracking and advertising
The app does not track you across other apps or websites, and it does not show ads. It does not use any advertising identifier.
6. Children’s privacy
The app does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
7. Your choices
- You can change your level, native language, or the Lock Screen setting at any time in the app.
- You can remove the widget from your Lock Screen at any time.
- You can delete your custom words in the app, or delete the app to remove all of its data from your device.
8. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
