Privacy Policy

Welcome to LingoAI
Your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use LingoAI, our AI-powered language learning chat app.

By using LingoAI, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

 1. Overview

LingoAI is a free mobile application designed to help users learn new languages through natural, AI-powered chat conversations.
We do not require account creation, sign-in, or any personal details to use the app.
All data and chat history are stored locally on your device, giving you full control.

 2. Information We Do NOT Collect

We respect your privacy and minimize data collection.
We do not collect or store any of the following:

• ❌ Personal information (e.g., name, email, phone number)
  
  

• ❌ Login credentials
  
  

• ❌ Payment details
  
  

• ❌ Location data
  
  

• ❌ Cloud-based chat logs
  
  

• ❌ Device identifiers or advertising data
  
  

Your interaction with the app stays entirely on your device.

 3. Chat Data and Usage

• All your chat messages, translations, and learning history are stored locally on your phone using secure device storage (e.g., AsyncStorage or SecureStore).
  
  

• You can clear your chat history anytime from the settings or app menu.
  
  

• The app uses the OpenAI API to process your text and generate AI responses.
  
  

🧠 When you send a message, the text is securely sent to OpenAI’s servers for processing, then returned as a response.
We do not track or permanently store these exchanges on our own servers.

 4. Data Processed by OpenAI

When you chat with LingoAI, your text is temporarily sent to OpenAI to generate responses.

• OpenAI may process your message to improve model performance.
  
  

• You can review OpenAI’s own Privacy Policy here: https://openai.com/privacy
  
  

LingoAI itself does not retain or analyze your messages beyond what is needed to display them in your chat history.

 5. Local Data Storage

All locally saved data (chat history, preferred languages, settings) are:

• Stored directly on your device.
  
  

• Not shared with any third party.
  
  

• Can be deleted anytime by clearing data from within the app or your phone settings.
  
  

 6. Security

We take reasonable steps to keep your data safe:

• We use device-level storage with secure access.
  
  

• No external transmission of personal data occurs.
  
  

• We rely on OpenAI’s encrypted API communication for AI-generated responses.
  
  

However, please note that no internet-based service can guarantee 100% security.

 7. Third-Party Services

LingoAI may use the following third-party services:

• OpenAI API for chat responses.
  
  

• React Native & React Native Wind for app interface.
  
  

• No analytics, ads, or trackers are included.
  
  

We do not share or sell any data with advertisers or analytics companies.

 8. Your Rights and Control

Because your data lives entirely on your device:

• You have full control of your chat history.
  
  

• You can delete all local data anytime.
  
  

• We do not hold or manage any data remotely, so we cannot recover deleted history.
