Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 27, 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to the following app developed by Alpaca, an individual developer ("we", "us"):

The app may appear under a different name depending on your language. In this policy, it is called "the App".

Summary

Information stored on your device

Your flashcards, the images you add, and the audio you record are stored only on your device. They leave your device only when you choose to export or share them.

Uninstalling the App deletes this information from your device.

Microphone and speech recognition

If you use voice input, your speech may be sent to the speech recognition service of your device's operating system (Apple on iOS, Google on Android) to be converted to text. We do not receive or store your voice. Audio you record for flashcards is stored only on your device.

Text-to-speech

The App reads text aloud using the text-to-speech engine on your device (such as Speech Services by Google on Android). Some voices of that engine may process text online, according to the policy of the engine's provider. We do not receive the text.

Sharing debug information

If you choose to share debug information from the menu, the App creates a file that may include your flashcards, attached images and audio, and logs. Nothing is sent automatically; you decide whether to attach it to an email to us. We use it only to fix the reported problem and delete it afterwards.

Third-party services

Advertising (Google AdMob and partners)

We use Google AdMob to show ads. AdMob and its ad partners may collect your device's advertising identifier, device information, and ad interaction data to show ads, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud. Ads may be personalized where permitted by your choices and local law.

AdMob and its ad partners also receive your IP address, from which your approximate location (such as your country or city) may be estimated. The App itself does not request access to your device's location (GPS).

The App includes SDKs from the following ad partners: Unity Ads, Meta Audience Network, and Liftoff Monetize. Other ad partners may take part through Google's bidding; see Google's list of ad technology providers. Learn more in How Google uses information from apps that use its services.

Google Firebase

We use the following services provided by Google:

See Privacy and Security in Firebase and the Google Privacy Policy.

Purchases (RevenueCat)

We use RevenueCat to process and verify in-app purchases and subscriptions. RevenueCat receives your purchase history and a random app user ID. Payments are handled by Apple or Google; we never receive your payment details. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

We share data only with the services listed in this policy. Each of them handles data under its own privacy policy and its terms with us, which require it to protect the data at least as described in this policy.

Security

Data the App sends to the services above is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Data stored by the App is kept in the App's storage on your device and protected by your device's security features. No method is completely secure, but we limit the data the App collects to what is described in this policy.

How long information is kept

Your choices

Deleting your information

The App has no accounts, and we do not keep information that identifies you. The services above use random identifiers, so we usually cannot tell which data belongs to you. You can still contact us to request access to or deletion of your data. We will reply within one month, delete any data we are able to locate, and explain if we cannot identify your data. Data held by the services above is also deleted automatically according to the periods listed in this policy.

Children

The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

International transfers

The services above may process information in countries other than yours, including the United States.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version.
