AI Tutor Data: Your conversation data with the AI tutor is not shared with any third parties for commercial purposes. However, this data is processed by our AI service providers (Anthropic and ElevenLabs) solely to deliver the tutoring service to you.
We may share non-personal, aggregated, or de-identified information with partners for business purposes such as app improvement and analytics.
As we use Google services (Firebase, Google Authentication) and AI services (Anthropic, ElevenLabs), your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). These services comply with EU data protection laws through appropriate safeguards, including EU Standard Contractual Clauses. For more information, please refer to their respective privacy policies.
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Specifically:
When you delete your account, all your personal data, including AI tutor conversation history, is permanently deleted from our systems immediately.
You can delete your account and associated data directly through the Account tab in the application. When you request deletion, all your personal information, including all AI tutor conversation data and voice recordings, is immediately and permanently deleted. Please note that this action is irreversible, and we will not be able to recover your data once deleted.
AI Tutor Data Deletion: Currently, AI tutor conversation data can only be deleted by deleting your entire account. We may add the option to delete AI tutor data separately in the future, but this feature is not currently available.

Spanish Tales uses AI technology to provide personalized tutoring experiences through the AI tutor feature. This includes automated assessment of your language skills and generation of personalized learning recommendations. These automated processes are designed to enhance your learning experience and do not involve decisions that would significantly affect you outside of the educational context. You can always opt out of using the AI tutor feature while continuing to use other app features.
We use commercially reasonable security measures to protect your personal information, including AI tutor conversation data, from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. All data transmission is encrypted, and we employ secure servers and databases. However, no data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our Application is not intended for children under 16 years of age in the European Union (or the applicable age in specific EU member states). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under these age thresholds. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
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 and updating the "Last updated" date. For significant changes, we may also provide a more prominent notice.
