Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 27, 2026

1. Introduction

Etymology ("the App") is developed by Jayden Luna ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our iOS application.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Etymology is designed to work entirely on your device, and we do not collect, transmit, or store your personal data on any server.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect:

  • Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
  • Location data
  • Device identifiers or advertising IDs
  • Usage analytics or behavioral data
  • Health, fitness, or biometric data

We do not use any third-party analytics SDKs, advertising networks, or tracking technologies.

3. Information Stored on Your Device

The App stores the following data locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework:

  • Favorite words and custom collections
  • Word viewing history
  • Quiz results and streak records
  • Notification preferences and settings
  • Subscription status

This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us or any third party. If you delete the App, this data is permanently removed.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

Etymology offers optional premium subscriptions managed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not process payments directly and never have access to your payment information, credit card details, or Apple ID.

Subscription billing, renewal, and cancellation are handled by Apple. For information about how Apple handles your payment data, please refer to Apple's Privacy Policy.

5. Third-Party Services

Etymology does not integrate any third-party services, SDKs, or APIs. The App functions entirely offline using bundled content. No data is shared with third-party AI services or any other external services.

6. Children's Privacy

Etymology does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The App does not require any account creation or personal information to function.

7. Data Deletion

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you can delete all Etymology data at any time by:

  • Deleting the App from your device (removes all data)
  • Using iOS Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Etymology > Delete App

No data exists on our servers to delete, as we do not collect or store any user data remotely.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
