Word listener privacy policy

Word listener is provided by Hamidi Apps. For support or privacy questions, contact hamidi7@gmail.com.

Lessons and settings on your phone

The app saves downloaded or imported lessons, their source addresses, and your reading preferences in its private app storage. It does not provide user accounts or a cloud lesson-sync service. You can remove an individual lesson with its Saved button. You can remove app data through Android settings or by uninstalling the app.

Searching and browsing websites

When you search, the app sends your query to the website configured in Settings. Loading a page sends its address and ordinary network information, including your IP address, to that website. App-managed page requests use HTTPS. The default word source is znews.uk; you can choose a different HTTPS site.

The built-in browser supports website JavaScript and local web storage. Websites may use their own cookies, storage, and third-party services. Website operators control their own server logs, retention, and data handling. Review the policies of the sites you use. Pasting a lesson does not itself upload its text to a website.

Speech and notifications

The app sends lesson passages to your selected Android text-to-speech engine and requests voices marked as usable offline. Engines and voice data are separate from Word listener and have their own privacy settings and policies. The app does not record your voice or request microphone access.

If you start reading aloud, playback controls and the lesson title may appear in Android notifications or on your lock screen. You can pause or stop playback with those controls.

Advertising and consent

Word listener uses Google AdMob and Google's User Messaging Platform. Google's Mobile Ads SDK may collect and share IP addresses, app interactions, diagnostic information, and device or advertising identifiers for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. This information may be used to estimate an approximate location from your IP address.

Advertising and consent choices depend on your region and settings. When required by Google's consent system, the app provides Ad privacy choices in Settings. You can also manage your advertising identifier through Android settings.

See Google's privacy policy and how Google uses information from apps and sites that use its services. Advertising information is handled and retained under Google's policies and available controls. Removing local lessons does not delete information already held by Google or website operators.

Security, retention, and deletion

Local lessons remain on your phone until you remove them or clear app data. App-managed network requests use HTTPS. Google states that Mobile Ads SDK user data is encrypted in transit. Your selected websites and speech engine are responsible for the information they handle.

If you send a support or privacy message, its contents and your email address are used to respond to your request. Contact hamidi7@gmail.com to ask about access to, correction of, or deletion of information handled by Hamidi Apps, including support messages and any developer-operated website. We retain support correspondence only for as long as needed to handle the request and meet applicable recordkeeping obligations.

Changes

Changes to this policy will be reflected in the updated version and its date. The policy is available inside the app under Settings → Privacy policy.
