Privacy Policy for Chichewa Learning App

Effective Date: September 13, 2026

Thank you for using Chichewa Learning App. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use our mobile application.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your information. The Chichewa Learning App is designed primarily as an educational language-learning application.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

We do not directly collect or require you to provide personal information such as:

The app does not require you to create an account to use its main learning features.

Information Automatically Processed by Third Parties

Our app uses Google AdMob to display advertisements.

When advertisements are displayed, Google and its advertising partners may automatically process certain information associated with your device or app usage for purposes such as advertising delivery, ad measurement, fraud prevention, frequency capping, and, where permitted, personalized advertising.

Depending on applicable settings, laws, and user choices, this may include information such as advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location, device information, and information about interactions with advertisements.

Google's policies explain that personalized and non-personalized advertising can involve different types of information and processing.

2. Google AdMob

We use Google AdMob to provide advertisements within the app.

AdMob is operated by Google LLC and may use technologies that allow advertisements to be delivered, measured, and protected against fraud and abuse.

Google may process information associated with advertising requests, including device identifiers and other technical information, depending on the applicable advertising and privacy settings.

For more information about how Google handles data in connection with advertising, please review Google's privacy and advertising information.

Google also provides mechanisms for users to control certain advertising personalization settings.

3. Personalized and Non-Personalized Advertising

Depending on your location, applicable privacy requirements, and your choices, AdMob may display personalized or non-personalized advertisements.

Personalized advertising may use information such as previous activity or advertising identifiers to make advertisements more relevant. Non-personalized advertising does not use past user behavior for ad targeting, although certain technical information may still be processed for purposes such as frequency capping, aggregated reporting, and fraud prevention.

Where legally required, appropriate consent mechanisms may be provided before certain advertising-related processing takes place.

4. Children's Privacy

The Chichewa Learning App is an educational application and may be used by learners of different ages.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

If the app is configured or marketed as being directed toward children, advertising and data-processing settings should be configured in accordance with applicable Google Play and Google AdMob requirements. Google restricts personalized advertising based on activity by users known to be under 13 or on apps directed toward children under 13.

Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information to us may contact us so that we can review the matter.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or directly share users' personal information because the app does not require users to submit personal information.

However, third-party services such as Google AdMob may process information automatically as part of providing advertising services.

Such third parties process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable requirements.

6. Data Retention

Because the app does not maintain user accounts or collect personal information directly, we do not maintain a personal user database containing names, email addresses, passwords, or similar information.

Information processed by third-party advertising providers, such as Google AdMob, may be retained by those providers according to their own policies, legal obligations, security requirements, and operational practices.

We do not control the retention periods used by Google or other third-party advertising providers.

7. Data Deletion

Because we do not directly collect or maintain personal user accounts, there is generally no personal account data stored by us that needs to be deleted.

If you want to stop the app from storing locally stored app information, you may uninstall the application or use your device's Android settings to clear the application's storage/data.

For information processed by Google AdMob or other third-party services, users should refer to the relevant provider's privacy controls and policies.

If you believe that we have received personal information from you and would like to request its deletion, you may contact us using the contact information provided below.

8. App Permissions

The Chichewa Learning App is designed to operate without requesting unnecessary sensitive permissions.

If future versions of the app require additional permissions for specific features, the relevant permissions will be requested through Android's permission system where applicable.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information that we directly handle.

However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Third-party services integrated into the app, including advertising providers, maintain their own security practices.

10. Third-Party Services

The app may use the following third-party service:

Google AdMob – advertising and ad measurement.

Google may process information associated with advertising requests in accordance with its policies and applicable privacy requirements. Google provides controls for personalized advertising and privacy treatment in supported circumstances.

11. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have rights or choices concerning:

Available controls may vary depending on your country, device, operating system, and applicable privacy regulations.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Any changes will be reflected by updating the Effective Date at the top of this policy. We encourage users to periodically review this Privacy Policy.
