EasyWords is a vocabulary learning app, published as one app per study language (Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Hindi, Arabic), on both Android and iOS. This policy applies to all of them equally — they share one codebase and one data-handling approach, and differ only in which language you are learning. Where the two platforms behave differently, this policy says so. It explains what the app collects and what it does not.
Your learning progress — which words you have studied, your review schedule, your streak, and your settings — is stored only on your device. It is never uploaded to EasyWords, and EasyWords has no accounts, no sign-in, and no server that holds your data.
Your device’s own backup system may copy that data to your personal cloud account, so it can be restored if you reinstall the app or move to a new device. On Android this is Google’s Auto Backup, to your Google account; on iOS it is the standard iCloud or computer backup of the app’s data. In both cases the copy lives in your own account, not on any server EasyWords operates, and is controlled by your device’s backup settings rather than by EasyWords.
On Android, one small technical file is deliberately left out of that backup: on-device evidence of a data-corruption event, kept only so a future update can inspect what went wrong. It would serve no purpose on a different device. iOS offers no equivalent per-file rule in this app, so on iOS the app’s stored data is backed up in full.
EasyWords collects no personal information, no account, and nothing you study.
It does send crash reports. When the app stops unexpectedly, Google Firebase Crashlytics records what went wrong — the error, the sequence of calls that led to it, your device model and operating-system version, and a random installation identifier that lets two crashes be recognised as coming from the same install. It contains nothing about you and nothing about what you were learning, and it is sent only when a crash actually happens.
This is what makes a crash that only occurs on one phone model fixable. Google’s handling of the data is described in its own policy:
EasyWords shows at most one full-screen advertisement per day, at the end of a study session, and none at all on your first day. These advertisements are served by Google AdMob.
Google may collect and process data to serve them, including your advertising identifier, approximate location derived from your IP address, and information about how you interact with the advertisement. Google’s use of this data is described in its own policy:
If you are in a region covered by the GDPR or comparable rules, EasyWords asks for your advertising consent the first time it starts, using Google’s User Messaging Platform. You may decline. If you decline, EasyWords does not start the advertising SDK at all, and you will see no advertisements. If you are in one of these regions, you can change your answer at any time from Profile > Privacy options.
On iOS, Apple asks a second, separate question right after that one: whether EasyWords may track you across other companies’ apps and websites. This is Apple’s own App Tracking Transparency prompt, and it governs the advertising identifier. If you say no, advertisements still appear, but they are chosen without that identifier and so are less closely targeted. You can change this answer at any time in the iOS Settings app, under Privacy & Security > Tracking. Android has no equivalent prompt; there, the consent question above is the only one.
EasyWords is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.
EasyWords’ own code requests only internet access, used for two things:
On Android, the Google AdMob SDK that serves that advertisement adds a further handful of permissions to the installed app: network-state access, the advertising ID, and several Android “AdServices” and background-service permissions Google’s ads library requires to function. None of them prompt you at install or runtime, and none are used by EasyWords itself — they exist solely to let Google’s ads SDK operate. They are listed on the app’s Play Store page.
On iOS, the app asks for no system permissions at all. The only prompt you will see is Apple’s tracking question described above, and declining it leaves every part of the app working.
Material changes to this policy will be published on this page with a new date at the top.
