Privacy Policy
Last updated: 14 June 2026
vocabla is a calm, ad-free vocabulary app. We collect only what we need to teach you well — your account, your learning progress, and the words you write to practise. We don’t run ads, we don’t track you across other apps, and we never sell your data.
Who we are
This policy applies to the vocabla iOS app and this website. In this policy, “we”, “us”, and “vocabla” refer to the makers of the app. If you have any questions, contact us at feedback@malife.app.
What we collect
We collect the following, all tied to your account so your progress follows you across devices:
Your email address and a unique account identifier, created when you sign up with Apple, Google, or email and password.
Purpose · authentication and account management
Your chosen languages, placement-test results, which words you’ve learned and mastered, and your exercise and session history.
Purpose · app functionality and personalising your learning
The free-writing text you submit for correction, your answers in story exercises, and any content reports you send us.
Purpose · app functionality (corrections, exercises, and fixing reported content)
Whether you have an active vocabla subscription. Purchases are handled by Apple; we never see your payment-card details.
Purpose · providing access to paid features
What we don’t collect
- No advertising identifier (IDFA) and no advertising SDKs.
- No third-party analytics or behavioural tracking SDKs.
- No access to your location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos, or health data.
- No tracking of you across other companies’ apps or websites.
Some settings stay only on your device and are never sent to us — for example your font choice, your daily-reminder time, audio playback speed, and cached lesson content and audio.
How your information is used
We use the data above only to run the app and improve your experience: to sign you in, save and sync your progress, generate writing corrections and stories, deliver your subscription, and respond to content you report. We do not use your data for advertising, and we do not sell or rent it to anyone.
Who processes your data for us
We rely on a small number of trusted service providers (“sub-processors”) who handle data on our behalf under their own privacy and security commitments:
- Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions, App Check) — account sign-in, secure data storage, and the server functions that power corrections and stories.
- Apple — Sign in with Apple and subscription purchases via the App Store.
- AI language & speech providers — when you ask for a writing correction, a story, or spoken audio, the relevant text is sent through our secure server functions to AI providers (including Google and ElevenLabs) purely to generate that result. It is not used to advertise to you.
Where your data is stored
Your data is stored on Google’s cloud infrastructure. Depending on where you are, it may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for any such transfers.
How long we keep it
We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, we delete the personal data associated with it. Some information may persist briefly in backups before being overwritten.
Your choices & rights
You can:
- Delete your account from within the app, which removes your personal data from our systems.
- Turn off the daily reminder at any time in settings or in iOS notification settings.
- Request access, correction, or deletion of your data by emailing us.
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA in California), you may have additional rights to access, correct, port, or erase your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these, contact us at feedback@malife.app.
Children
vocabla is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We protect your data with industry-standard measures, including encrypted connections, authenticated access to your data, and app-attestation checks to guard our servers against abuse. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your information safe.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the “Last updated” date above. Significant changes will be communicated within the app or on this page.
