Urithi Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Urithi ("we," "us," "our," or "Urithi"). Urithi is a language learning application that helps users learn and practice languages, including through lessons, exercises, and (if applicable) speech-based practice.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and related services (collectively, the "App"). Please read this policy carefully. By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.

If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not access or use the App.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

• Account information: Name, email address, username, password, date of birth, and profile picture (if you choose to upload one).
• Learning preferences: Target language(s), native language, proficiency level, learning goals, and course selections.
• Payment information: If you purchase a subscription or in-app content, our payment processor collects billing details. We do not store full payment card numbers on our own servers.
• Communications: Information you provide when you contact customer support, respond to surveys, or participate in community features (e.g., forums, chat, comments).
• User-generated content: Text you write in exercises, journal entries, or community posts.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Usage data: Lessons completed, exercises attempted, scores, streaks, time spent in the App, and features used.
• Device information: Device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, IP address, mobile network information, and app version.
• Log data: Crash reports, diagnostic logs, and error reports.
• Cookies and similar technologies: We (and third parties acting on our behalf) may use cookies, SDKs, and similar tracking technologies to remember preferences and understand how the App is used. See Section 8 (Cookies and Tracking) below.

2.3 Information from Third Parties

• If you sign in using a third-party account (e.g., Google, Apple, Facebook), we receive basic profile information from that provider as permitted by your settings with them.
• Analytics and advertising partners may provide us with aggregated or device-level data (see Section 4).

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the App and its learning features
• Personalize your learning path, recommend content, and track progress
• Process payments and manage subscriptions
• Communicate with you, including sending service updates, reminders, and (with consent, where required) marketing messages
• Monitor and analyze usage trends to improve the App
• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
• Comply with legal obligations

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Service providers: Hosting providers, analytics services (we use PostHog), customer support tools, and payment processors, who process data on our behalf under contractual confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
• Third-party sign-in providers: Where you choose to log in via Google, Apple, or similar services.
• Legal and safety reasons: If required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Urithi, our users, or the public.
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
• With your consent: For any other purpose disclosed to you at the time we collect the information.

5. Children's Privacy

Urithi is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the relevant age of digital consent in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without verified parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@urithi.app.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access – request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correction – request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Deletion – request deletion of your personal data
• Portability – request your data in a portable format
• Restriction/Objection – object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent (e.g., marketing communications)
• Opt out of sale/sharing – (California residents) we do not sell personal information, but you may opt out of certain data sharing for advertising purposes if applicable

To exercise these rights or to request permanent deletion of your account and personal data, please contact us at hello@urithi.app or visit our dedicated Account & Data Deletion page. We will respond and process your request within the timeframe required by applicable law (e.g., 30 days under GDPR, 45 days under CCPA).

EU/UK/EEA users: Our legal bases for processing include performance of a contract, consent, legitimate interests, and legal obligation. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

California users: You have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), including the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of certain data sharing. We do not discriminate against users who exercise these rights.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the App's services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Specifically:

• Account data is retained while your account is active and for 12 months after deletion, unless a shorter or longer period is required by law.
• Usage and analytics data may be retained in aggregated or anonymized form indefinitely.

You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time (see Section 6).

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We and our partners may use cookies, mobile SDKs, pixels, and similar technologies to:

• Keep you logged in and remember preferences
• Understand how you use the App (analytics)
• Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns (if applicable)

You can control cookies through your browser or device settings, and you can manage app-tracking permissions (e.g., Apple's App Tracking Transparency, Android's advertising ID settings) through your device.

9. Data Security

We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information, including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL), access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than your own, including the United States and the European Union, where our service providers (such as our hosting and analytics providers) operate. Where we transfer personal data from the EEA/UK to countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

The App may contain links to third-party websites or integrate third-party services (e.g., payment processors, analytics providers). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy in the App and updating the "Last Updated" date above, and, where required by law, by obtaining renewed consent.
