Vocavia Policy
Privacy Policy
Vocavia is a local-first language-learning app from JV Technologies LLC. Profiles, learning preferences, answers, and progress remain on the device. The iOS 1.0 release offers optional Vocavia Plus subscriptions and may request consent to show advertising only to eligible adult Free profiles. Android versions with advertising and subscriptions use Google services for ads, privacy choices, and purchases; core learning records remain local. This policy covers both platforms; features depend on the installed version.
Last updated: September 4, 2026
Learning data stays on your device
Vocavia stores household and learner profiles, language and accessibility preferences, lesson progress, activity results, and learning evidence locally so the app can work without an account or cloud service.
- Vocavia currently has no cloud account or backend sync for household and learning records.
- Local learning records remain on the device until they are reset, deleted, or removed with the app.
- Vocavia does not send profile names, lesson answers, or local progress records to advertising providers.
iOS 1.0 advertising and diagnostics
On iOS, an eligible adult using the Free tier may be offered an advertisement at a natural break after lesson completion. Advertising requests are made only after the applicable consent and tracking choices. Actual delivery depends on consent, device settings, network access, and advertising inventory.
- Advertising and analytics providers may process a device identifier, coarse location, product interaction, and advertising data.
- A device identifier may be used for advertising tracking only when the user grants Apple's App Tracking Transparency permission.
- Crash, performance, and other diagnostic data may be processed for analytics, reliability, and app functionality.
- Child, teen, unknown-audience, and Vocavia Plus profiles do not make advertising requests.
Vocavia Plus and Apple purchases
Vocavia Plus is offered on iOS as an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription. Apple processes the purchase and payment information. Vocavia receives Apple transaction and entitlement information needed to unlock Plus and restore purchases; JV Technologies LLC does not receive the user's full payment-card details.
- Vocavia Plus removes advertising from eligible adult profiles.
- Subscriptions can be managed or canceled through the user's Apple account settings.
- Restore Purchases asks Apple to verify the current entitlement.
Android advertising and privacy choices
Android versions with ads and subscriptions include Google Mobile Ads and Google's User Messaging Platform. Eligible adult Free profiles may see ads at natural learning breaks after applicable privacy choices permit an ad request. Delivery depends on consent, connectivity, and availability. The app configures non-personalized ads and does not request Android's advertising-ID permission. This does not mean that advertising uses no data.
Google's advertising service may process IP addresses, approximate location derived from them, app and ad interactions, diagnostics, and device or other identifiers such as app-set ID for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. Vocavia does not send profile names, lesson answers, or saved learning progress to the advertising service. Google's advertising data is encrypted in transit and handled under its Privacy Policy and partner-site and app information.
- Child, teen, unknown-audience, paid, and reviewer profiles do not request ads.
- Adults can reopen the in-app privacy-options control when offered to review their choices.
- An ad or consent error does not require purchasing a subscription to use Free learning content.
Android subscriptions and local information
Optional subscriptions use Google Play Billing. Google processes purchases and payments. Vocavia receives purchase and entitlement information to unlock paid access, acknowledge purchases, and restore access; JV Technologies LLC does not receive full payment-card details. Prices, billing periods, and eligible introductory terms are shown before purchase. Manage or cancel subscriptions through Google Play. Uninstalling Vocavia or clearing its local data does not cancel a subscription. Network access is needed for purchases and verification or restoration of subscription access.
- Android profiles, preferences, answers, progress, and the adult PIN verifier remain in private local storage; there is no Vocavia cloud account or sync for these records.
- Birth month and year are evaluated on the device and not retained; local age-assurance results may be retained to protect adult-only access.
- Android cloud backup and device-to-device transfer are disabled.
- Pronunciation requires a compatible offline text-to-speech voice. Vocavia requests no microphone, camera, contacts, or location permission.
Children and family profiles
Vocavia is designed for households with adult and learner profiles for ages 6 and older. Local child learning records stay on the device and are not transmitted to an advertising provider. On iOS, only an eligible adult Free profile may request an ad after the consent flow permits it. Child, teen, unknown-audience, and Plus profiles are ad-free. Adult access is protected by a local PIN and an on-device age check; the entered birth month and year are not retained.
On Android, only an eligible age-assured adult Free profile may request ads after the privacy flow permits them. Child, teen, unknown-audience, and paid profiles do not request ads. Purchases are accessed through the adult area. Local child learning records are not sent to an advertising provider.
Sharing, sale, and retention
JV Technologies LLC does not sell local household or learning records. Those records remain on the device until they are reset or removed with the app. On iOS, the advertising and diagnostics providers described above may process the listed device, advertising, usage, location, and diagnostics data for their stated purposes. A device identifier may be used for third-party tracking only with the required permission. Visiting this website is governed by the JV Technologies company privacy notice and the user's browser settings.
For Android advertising, consent, and purchases, Google processes the information described above under its applicable terms and privacy practices. Clearing Vocavia's local records does not delete Google's records, including purchase records. Google provides privacy and account controls; retention depends on the service and applicable obligations. JV Technologies LLC has no cloud copy of your local household or learning records.
Security and policy changes
Vocavia keeps its app-owned learning data in private local application storage. No method of local storage is guaranteed to be completely secure. This policy may be updated when Vocavia's features, providers, or legal obligations change; the date above identifies the current version.
Your requests
On Android, clear Vocavia's storage in device Settings or uninstall the app to remove local learning records. Use privacy options when available to review advertising choices, and Google Play subscription settings to manage or cancel purchases. iOS users can also change tracking permission in Apple Settings and manage consent choices when offered in the app. For privacy questions or requests, contact JV Technologies LLC at juan@jvtechnologiesllc.com.
