Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
This app, Hou²Hou² (“we,” “us”), is operated by Benjamin Schubert. This policy covers the Hou²Hou² iOS app and this website. Questions? Email contact@hou2hou2.com.
2. Data handled, and by whom
Voice recordings & speech recognition
When you do speaking exercises, the app uses your microphone to assess pronunciation. To convert speech to text, your audio may be sent to Apple for speech recognition, as provided by iOS. This processing is handled by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy. We do not store your recordings, we operate no servers that receive them.
Your learning data (progress, saved words, settings)
Your progress, vocabulary and settings are stored locally on your device. If you have iCloud enabled, this data syncs through your own iCloud account under Apple's terms, so it's available across your devices. We cannot access your iCloud data.
Purchases & subscriptions
Purchases are processed by Apple's App Store. We use RevenueCat to manage and validate subscription entitlements. RevenueCat processes purchase and transaction information and an app-generated identifier to tell us whether a subscription is active. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy and Apple's Privacy Policy.
Diagnostics
If you opt in through iOS to share crash and usage diagnostics with developers, Apple may provide us with aggregated, non-identifying diagnostic reports to help us fix problems. You can turn this off in your iOS settings.
3. What we do not do
We do not maintain user accounts on our own servers, we do not sell or rent your data, and we do not use third-party advertising or tracking SDKs.
4. International processing
The services we rely on, Apple and RevenueCat, may process data in countries other than your own. Their handling of that data is governed by their respective privacy policies linked above.
5. Children
Hou²Hou² is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will address it.
6. Your choices & rights
You can: delete your local data by deleting the app; manage or delete synced data in your iCloud settings; manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings; and turn off diagnostic sharing in iOS. To ask a question or make a privacy request, email contact@hou2hou2.com.
7. Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected by a new effective date at the top of this page.
