Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Linguver ("we", "our", or "us") operates the Linguver word game, available on the web and as a mobile app. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. What we collect

We collect the following when you use Linguver:

• Account information — when you sign in with Google: your name, email address, and profile picture, as provided by Google.
• Game progress — your current level, score, word history, lives, and streak. Stored in our database so your progress syncs across devices.
• Language preferences — your native language and learning language, used to personalise your game experience.
• Subscription status — whether you have an active paid subscription, the subscription ID from our payment provider, and, for subscriptions bought on the web, the two-letter country code from your billing address.
• Error reports — when something goes wrong on our servers we automatically record the technical details of the failure (the error message and which part of the service failed) so that we can fix it. This is handled by Sentry.

2. What we do not collect

• We do not collect your Google password — sign-in is handled entirely by Google.
• We do not collect your payment card details — payments are handled by Paddle, our payment provider.
• We do not sell your personal data to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes. (See section 9 regarding transfers in the event of a business sale.)
• We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking services, and we do not build individual behavioural profiles.
• We do not collect crash reports or diagnostics from your device or browser — no analytics or crash-reporting SDK is built into the app or the website.

3. How we use your information

• To authenticate you when you sign in.
• To save and sync your game progress across devices.
• To process your subscription payment and manage your subscription status.
• To diagnose and fix bugs using error reports.
• To personalise the game to your chosen learning language.

4. Third-party services

Linguver uses the following third-party services, each with its own privacy policy:

• Google Sign-In — authentication. Google Privacy Policy
• Paddle — payment processing for subscriptions on the web. Paddle Privacy Policy
• Google Play Billing / RevenueCat — payment processing and subscription management for purchases made in the Android app. RevenueCat Privacy Policy
• Sentry — server-side error tracking. Sentry Privacy Policy
• Railway — our hosting provider, where your data is stored on secure servers.

5. Local storage

Linguver stores game state in your browser's localStorage (on web) or device storage (on mobile). This includes your level, score, and word history for the current session. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you are signed in.

6. Your rights

You can:

• Access your data — email us and we will tell you what we hold.
• Delete your account — email us and we will delete your account and all associated data from our database.

7. Children

Linguver is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

8. Data retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you request deletion, we will remove your data within 30 days.

9. Business transfers

If Linguver is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of its assets, your information may be transferred to the new owner as part of that transaction. The new owner will be required to honour the commitments made in this Privacy Policy. We will notify you of any such change in ownership — for example, by a notice on this page or by email — and of any choices you may have regarding your personal data.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Linguver after changes means you accept the updated policy.
