Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 August 2026

This policy explains what personal data Amharicly collects, why, and who processes it. It describes the service as it works today; it will be updated before new kinds of processing (such as learning progress, subscriptions, advertising or analytics) are introduced.

1. What we collect

  • Account email address — used to create your account, verify it, sign you in and send password-reset instructions.
  • Password — stored only as a secure hash by our authentication provider. We never see or store your plain password.
  • Authentication and session information — sign-in state is kept in cookies so you stay signed in; our providers keep basic security logs (such as sign-in attempts and timestamps) to protect accounts.
  • Learner profile — what you tell us during setup and can change in your profile settings: the name you want us to use, why you are learning Amharic, your self-reported starting familiarity, your chosen daily learning goal (in minutes) and whether setup is complete.
  • Plan interest — if you arrive from the Premium pricing button we note that interest with your account. It does not change what you can access and no payment details are collected.

We do not yet store course progress, practice history, streaks or points. This policy will be updated when those features launch.

2. How we use it

To provide and secure your account, to send account emails (verification and password reset), to keep the service working and to comply with legal obligations. We do not sell personal data and we do not send marketing email.

3. Who processes it

  • Supabase — authentication and database hosting (accounts, hashed passwords, sessions).
  • Vercel — hosting of the website; receives standard request data such as IP address and browser type to serve pages.
  • Resend — delivery of account emails (verification and password reset).

We do not currently use payment providers, advertising networks, analytics platforms or AI services with your personal data.

4. Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in and to protect your session. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies today.

5. Retention

Account data is kept while your account exists. Security logs are kept for a limited time by our providers. When account closure becomes available in the app, closing your account will delete your account data, subject to any legal retention requirements.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live you may have rights to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, or to object to certain processing. A dedicated contact channel for privacy requests and self-service account deletion will be published here as those features launch.

7. Changes

We will update this page and its “last updated” date whenever our processing changes. See also our Terms of Service.
