Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to the Learn Japanese Fast - koto app for mobile devices, together with any related services operated by Mohit Pachisia (collectively, the "Application"). Mohit Pachisia is hereby referred to as the "Service Provider".
Information Collection and Use
The Application collects information when you download and use it. This information may include information such as:
- Your device's Internet Protocol address
- The pages of the Application that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages
- The time spent on the Application
- The mobile operating system you use
- Your learning activity within the Application, such as videos watched, words saved, and study progress
For a better experience while using the Application, the Service Provider may require you to provide certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to email. The information the Service Provider requests will be retained and used as described in this privacy policy.
The Service Provider may use the information you provide to send important information, required notices, and, where permitted by law, marketing communications.
YouTube Content and Embedded Player
The Application displays videos from YouTube to help you learn Japanese. The Application uses YouTube API Services and YouTube's official embedded player to show these videos.
- By using the video features of the Application, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms
- Google's Privacy Policy applies to how YouTube handles your data when you watch videos: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- All videos are hosted by YouTube and belong to their respective creators. The Service Provider does not own, download, store, or modify any YouTube videos, and does not claim ownership of any YouTube content.
- Videos are played only through YouTube's official embedded player, with YouTube's standard player controls and branding left in place.
- The Service Provider does not charge for or sell access to YouTube videos. Any paid subscription in the Application covers only the Application's own learning features (such as translations, flashcards, lessons, and progress tracking). YouTube videos remain freely available on YouTube.
What YouTube may collect: When a video plays in the Application, YouTube (Google) may receive information directly from your device, such as your IP address, device and browser information, and viewing activity, and may place or read cookies or similar technologies on your device. This collection is handled by Google under Google's Privacy Policy, not by the Service Provider.
What the Service Provider collects from video use: The Service Provider may record which videos you watch within the Application and your learning activity related to them (for example, words saved or progress made) to provide and improve its learning features. The Service Provider does not access your YouTube or Google account and does not collect your YouTube account information.
If you ever connect a Google account to the Application, you can revoke the Application's access at any time through your Google security settings: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Application, its third-party SDKs, and the embedded YouTube player may use cookies, SDKs, pixels, and similar technologies to support functionality, analytics, or service delivery. Where required by applicable law, the Service Provider will obtain consent before using non-essential tracking technologies.
Artificial Intelligence
The Application uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance user experience and provide certain features. The AI components may process user data to deliver personalized content, recommendations, or automated functionalities. All AI processing is performed in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable laws. If you have questions about the AI features or data processing, please contact the Service Provider.
Third Party Access
The Service Provider may share your information with third parties only in the ways described in this privacy policy. Aggregated, anonymized data may be periodically transmitted to external services to help the Service Provider improve the Application. In addition, third-party services used by the Application (such as YouTube) may collect information directly from your device as described in their own privacy policies.
The Application uses the following third-party services, each of which has its own privacy policy:
- YouTube API Services / Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Expo: https://expo.dev/privacy
- RevenueCat: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy
The Service Provider may disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected Information:
- as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process;
- when they believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect their rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request;
- with their trusted service providers who work on their behalf, do not have an independent use of the information the Service Provider discloses to them, and have agreed to adhere to the rules set forth in this privacy statement.
