Daily Español
Spanish on your Lock Screen
Privacy PolicyDaily Español keeps your learning data on your device. On iPhone, the only data that leaves it is anonymous app statistics and crash reports, plus device identifiers used to measure our own advertising (only if you allow tracking). The Android app sends nothing.
What we collect
Daily Español has no accounts, no sign-in, and does not connect to any server of ours. Your learning activity is never uploaded. On iPhone, the exceptions to "nothing leaves your device" are advertising measurement and app statistics & crash reports, described below.
Advertising measurement (Meta SDK)
We promote Daily Español with ads on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram). To know whether those ads work, the app includes the Meta (Facebook) SDK, which may send device identifiers — such as the advertising identifier (IDFA) — and basic app events (for example, that the app was installed or opened, or that a subscription started) to Meta for ad attribution and measurement.
- Your choice: on first launch, iOS asks whether to allow tracking (App Tracking Transparency). If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", the IDFA is not shared and Meta receives only aggregate, privacy-preserving attribution via Apple's SKAdNetwork.
- What is never shared: your learning progress, streaks, studied words, and settings never leave your device. We do not sell data, and we share nothing beyond what is needed to measure our own ads.
- Meta's role: data sent to Meta is processed under Meta's Privacy Policy. You can change your choice anytime in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
App statistics & crash reports (Umeng, iOS)
The iOS app includes the Umeng analytics and crash-reporting SDK (U-App / U-APM). It sends anonymous usage events (for example, that onboarding was finished or a study session was completed), crash and performance reports, and basic device information (device model, OS version, an app-scoped device identifier) so we can count active users and fix crashes. It does not receive your studied words or settings. Umeng is processed under Umeng's Privacy Policy.
Android version
The Android app (Google Play) does not include the Meta SDK, Umeng, or any other analytics, advertising, or tracking SDK, and does not use the Android advertising ID. Nothing about your learning leaves your phone.
- Lock-screen word: if you turn on "Show a word on the lock screen", the app asks for notification permission and shows today's word as a silent notification. You can turn it off anytime in the app's Settings.
- Widget: the Home Screen widget reads your daily words from the app's private storage on your phone.
Your progress
Your learning progress — studied words, streaks, daily queue, and settings — is stored only on your device (and, for the widget, in private app storage shared only with the app's own widget). It is never uploaded to us or anyone else.
Audio
Word pronunciation is generated on your device by the system text-to-speech engine (Apple's on iPhone, your phone's installed engine on Android). No audio is recorded, and nothing is sent off the device.
In-app purchase
Any subscription is processed entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play Billing). You can cancel anytime in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Daily Español never receives your payment details, and no purchase data is sent to us.
Content & attribution
The Spanish vocabulary, examples, and frequency data are derived from open datasets (including Wiktionary and Tatoeba) under their respective open licenses. This content ships inside the app; using it does not involve any tracking of you.
Children
Daily Español shows no ads inside the app and contains no user-generated content. It is rated 12+ only because its Spanish dictionary includes a few mild vulgar words.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
