Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Blurtly collects, uses, and shares information when you use our language-learning app, including vocabulary decks, speaking practice, and related features.

Last updated June 9, 2026

Information we collect

Blurtly may collect:

  • Account information from our sign-in provider, such as your name, email address, user ID, and authentication details.
  • Content you create or save in the app, including decks, vocabulary, phrases, sentences, notes, practice items, and learning history.
  • Practice data, including progress, ratings, exercise results, app preferences, and usage activity.
  • Technical information, such as device type, browser type, IP address, logs, error reports, and general usage data.
  • Microphone/audio data when you choose to use speaking or voice-based practice.

Microphone and voice practice

Blurtly only uses your microphone when you grant browser permission and start a speaking exercise.

During speaking practice, your audio may be streamed or processed by speech, AI, or voice providers so Blurtly can run the exercise, transcribe speech, evaluate responses, and provide feedback.

Blurtly does not use microphone access outside the speaking-practice flow. You can revoke microphone permission at any time through your browser settings.

We may store related text, transcripts, exercise results, deck items, or progress data needed to provide your learning history and improve your experience. Unless otherwise stated in the app, we do not intentionally store raw microphone recordings after the live exercise is completed.

How we use information

We use information to:

  • Provide and operate Blurtly.
  • Create, save, and personalize vocabulary decks and exercises.
  • Run speaking, listening, recall, and other practice sessions.
  • Track progress and learning history.
  • Maintain account security.
  • Debug errors and improve app performance.
  • Prevent abuse, fraud, and misuse.
  • Improve Blurtly’s features and user experience.

We do not sell your personal information.

AI and service providers

Blurtly relies on third-party providers for services such as authentication, hosting, databases, analytics, AI generation, speech processing, transcription, voice features, payments if added in the future, and app infrastructure.

For example, sign-in may be handled by Clerk, app data may be stored with database or hosting providers, and AI or speech features may be processed by model or voice providers.

These providers may process information only as needed to provide their services to Blurtly, comply with law, maintain security, or as otherwise described in their own terms and privacy policies.

AI-generated content

Blurtly uses AI to help generate and evaluate language-learning content. AI-generated content may be inaccurate or incomplete. You should review important language-learning content and not rely on Blurtly as your only source of truth.

Data retention

We keep account information, decks, vocabulary, progress, and related app data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the app.

If you delete content or request account deletion, we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify associated data, subject to backups, logs, security needs, legal obligations, and legitimate business purposes.

Your choices

You can:

  • Stop using Blurtly at any time.
  • Revoke microphone permission in your browser.
  • Delete decks or learning content you no longer want to keep.
  • Request help with account deletion or data questions by contacting us.

Children

Blurtly is not intended for children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

If Blurtly is later used by schools, tutors, parents, or younger learners, additional terms, consent, or school-specific privacy protections may apply.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information. However, no internet service, AI system, database, or transmission method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of Blurtly after changes means you accept the updated policy.
