ARABII (“we”, “us”, “the app”) helps non-native speakers learn to pronounce Arabic. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, who processes it on our behalf, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to the ARABII mobile app and the pronunciation services behind it.
ARABII is operated by the ARABII team. For any privacy question or request, contact us at support@arabii.app.
| Category | Examples | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account information | Name and email address from Google Sign-In, Apple Sign-In, or email/password registration | Create and secure your account |
| Identifiers | Account user ID (Firebase UID) | Link your progress and subscription to your account; product analytics |
| Learning preferences | Target language, learning goals, daily goal, country/region you select | Personalize lessons and content |
| Voice recordings | Short microphone recordings you make when practicing pronunciation or speaking with the in-app companion (“Ahmad”) | Score your pronunciation and power voice conversations |
| User content | Messages you send to the in-app companion; free-text goals you enter | Provide the companion and personalization features |
| Purchase information | Subscription status and purchase history | Provide and restore premium features |
| Usage data | Feature interactions and app events | Understand usage and improve the app |
We do not collect your precise location (the country field is a manual selection, not GPS), your contacts, your photos, health data, or your browsing history on other sites.
The app requests microphone access only while you are actively practicing pronunciation or talking with the companion. Recordings are sent over an encrypted connection to our servers to be analyzed (pronunciation scoring and speech features). We use recordings to provide these features and to maintain and improve service quality. You can revoke microphone access at any time in your device settings; some features will not work without it.
We share data only with processors that operate on our behalf under contract, strictly to run the app. We do not sell data and we do not share it for advertising.
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Google Firebase & Google Cloud | Authentication, backend, and secure storage |
| Anthropic (Claude) | Powers the in-app learning companion |
| ElevenLabs | Generates reference pronunciation audio |
| Cohere | Optional speech processing used to improve scoring quality |
| RevenueCat | Manages subscriptions and validates purchases |
| PostHog | Product analytics (usage events) |
AI services and your consent. Some of these providers are third-party AI services. Your voice recordings are sent to our speech-scoring service (hosted on Google Cloud) to measure how you pronounce each word, and your messages and learning profile are sent to Anthropic, PBC (the “Claude” models) to generate the responses of your in-app companion, Ahmad. We ask for your explicit permission in the app before any of this data is sent to an AI service, and you can withdraw that permission at any time in Settings → Privacy. These AI providers process your data solely to deliver these features and do not use it to train their AI models.
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process your data to perform our contract with you (providing the app), on the basis of our legitimate interests (improving and securing the service), to comply with legal obligations, and — where required — with your consent (for example, microphone access, which your device requests).
We keep your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, we delete your personal data and voice recordings associated with it, except where we must retain limited records to meet legal, accounting, or fraud-prevention obligations. Aggregated or de-identified data that can no longer identify you may be retained.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS). We apply access controls and industry-standard safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data and to notify you of material incidents where required by law.
We and our providers may process data in countries other than yours, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
ARABII is intended for users aged 16 and over and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact support@arabii.app and we will delete it.
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, by an in-app notice.
