Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Worty (“we”, “us”, “our”) processes personal data when you use the Worty Android app on Google Play and related pages on www.worty.app.

Worty is an educational German vocabulary app: translation lookup, a personal word list, practice reminders, optional accounts with sync, analytics, crash reporting, and planned in-app purchases. We do not sell personal data and we do not use vocabulary content for advertising profiling. The app has no ads.

1. Who is responsible

Data controller (GDPR):
HappyCorp (individual / natural person)

See also the Legal notice (Impressum) and Terms of Service.

2. What data we process

• On-device data. Saved words, translations, learning progress, and quiz settings stored locally.
• Search and translation queries. Words/phrases may be sent to third-party translation and dictionary services (e.g. MyMemory, Wiktionary). Do not enter passwords, health data, or other sensitive information into search.
• Account data. If you sign in: email, auth tokens, and (for Google Sign-In) basic profile data Google shares. Used for sign-in and vocabulary sync via Supabase (EU).
• Analytics. Pseudonymous usage events via Google Firebase Analytics (no personalized ads).
• Crash diagnostics. Stack traces and device/app metadata via Firebase Crashlytics.
• Purchases (planned). When enabled, Google Play processes payment; we receive limited purchase status metadata.

3. Why we use the data

• provide translation, dictionary, and practice features;
• create and maintain accounts and sync vocabulary;
• analyze usage and improve the app;
• keep the Service secure and fix crashes;
• meet legal and app-store requirements.

Legal bases under GDPR include contract (Art. 6(1)(b)), legitimate interests for analytics/crash (Art. 6(1)(f)), and consent for optional notifications/overlay (Art. 6(1)(a)).

4. Who we share data with

• MyMemory / Wiktionary — search query content;
• Supabase — authentication and sync (EU);
• Google Firebase — Analytics and Crashlytics;
• Google Play — distribution, updates, billing when offered.

Some Google processing may occur outside the EEA with appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses).

5. Retention

Local data remains until you delete it or uninstall. Account and synced data remain while the account is active; after deletion, server personal data is deleted or anonymized within about 30 days unless law requires longer retention. Analytics/crash retention follows Firebase defaults.

6. Children and younger users

Worty is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. No personalized advertising. If you believe a child under 13 provided data, contact wortylife@gmail.com.

7. Your rights

Depending on applicable law (including GDPR), you may access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in Estonia: Data Protection Inspectorate / Andmekaitse Inspektsioon).

Account deletion: in-app where available, account deletion page, or email wortylife@gmail.com.

8. Security

We use reasonable measures including HTTPS encryption in transit and restricted backend access. Absolute security does not exist.

9. Changes

We may update this Policy. The current version is published on this page with a new last-updated date. Material changes may also appear in the app update description.
