Privacy Policy for Special English Listening

This Privacy Policy describes how Special English Listening ("the App," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

We believe in minimal data collection to provide our learning services. The types of information we may collect include:

• Usage Data: We may collect information about how you use the App, such as the stories or videos you access, the features you use, and the duration of your sessions. This data is collected anonymously and is used to understand how users interact with the App and identify areas for improvement.
• Audio Recordings (with user consent): If you choose to use the recording feature to practice your speaking, the App will access your device's microphone to record your voice. These recordings are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers. They are solely for your personal use for comparison and improvement.

We do **not** collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, location, or device identifiers that can directly identify you.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Special English Listening app:

• To deliver the content and features of the App.
• To understand user engagement and preferences to inform future content creation and feature development.
• To analyze anonymous usage patterns to optimize app performance and user experience.
• For internal research and development to enhance the learning effectiveness of the App.

The audio recordings you make are used only by you for self-improvement within the App and are not used by us in any way.

3. Third-Party Services

The App does not currently integrate with third-party analytics services or advertising networks that collect personal information from our users.

In the future, if we choose to integrate with any third-party services, we will update this Privacy Policy and ensure that any such integration is compliant with relevant privacy regulations and clearly explained here.

4. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information collected through the App from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Children's Privacy

The Special English Listening App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

6. Your Rights

As we do not collect personally identifiable information, there is no personal data for you to access, correct, or delete. Your usage data is collected anonymously and is not linked to any individual.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page within the App (or through an in-app notification). You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
