Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

LingoFlix ("we", "our", "us") is an educational web application that helps users practise English phrasal verbs and slang through movie-based exercises. Because we intentionally avoid collecting any information that identifies you as an individual, this notice focuses on the very limited, non-personal data we process. Even when no personal data is gathered, most privacy laws still expect a clear policy.

2. What Data We (Don’t) Collect

CategoryDetailsLegal basis
Personal identifiersNone. We do not ask for names, emails, social-logins, IP addresses or device IDs.Not applicable
Usage analyticsNone at present. We run no third-party tracking cookies or fingerprinting scripts.Not applicable
Local-only learning dataYour lesson streak, last exercise and UI preferences are saved inside your own browser via localStorage. These key–value pairs never leave your device. (LocalStorage stores strings in the browser and persists after refresh until you clear data.)Legitimate interest in basic functionality (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f))

About Local Storage

LocalStorage is comparable to a first-party cookie but is never transmitted to our servers; any script running on your machine can read or clear it. You may delete it anytime via your browser settings; doing so resets your streak.

3. What We Generate Behind the Scenes

To build exercises, our backend temporarily ingests publicly available or licensed movie scripts under fair-use or text-and-data-mining rules. Raw text is kept no longer than 24 hours and then purged, leaving only de-identified tokens and vocabulary lists. (See our Legal page for full compliance details.)

4. No Sharing, No Selling

Because we hold no personal data, there is nothing to sell, rent or share with third parties. If we ever introduce optional accounts or analytics, we will update this Policy and obtain your consent first.

5. Your Controls

  • Reset learning data: Clear your browser’s site data or click Settings › Reset Progress in the app.
  • Opt-out of future analytics: Once analytics are added, a banner will request opt-in; you can withdraw at any time per GDPR Art. 7(3).
  • Learn more about browser privacy tools: See your browser’s help pages on clearing cookies/local storage.

6. Children

LingoFlix is aimed at users 13 +. We collect no age data, but if you believe a child under that age is using the service unsupervised, please contact us (Section 8) so we can assist. (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.)

7. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this notice to reflect new features or legal requirements. The “Last Updated” date (below) will change; significant updates will be highlighted in-app for 30 days.

Why this minimal policy still matters

Even when you “collect nothing,” privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA) expect transparency about any client-side storage, plus contact details for users to exercise rights.
