Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026

Who we are

nemiria is an independent language-learning app developed and operated from Wellington, New Zealand. For any privacy question, or to exercise your rights below, contact us at [email protected].

What we collect, and why

Your email address: collected when you sign in. nemiria uses passwordless sign-in - we email you a one-time numeric code, which you enter in the app - so your email is how we recognise you. We use it to log you in, to sync your progress across your devices, and to restore your progress if you reinstall the app or move to a new phone. Legal basis (EU/UK users): performance of our contract with you - it's needed to provide the service you signed up for.

Your learning progress and settings: which questions you've answered correctly in Test and Apply, your exam results, and your in-app preferences (such as your chosen dialect and display toggles), for both topics, Verb Conjugation and Word Pairs. We use this to show your progress and keep it in sync. Some records stay only on your device and are never sent to us: your detailed Word Pairs results (how many times you've tried each question, how many times you got it right, and when), the times of your recent right answers in Verb Conjugation Test and Apply and when each exam run started, in both topics (so that a reset on one device clears only older progress on your others), the number of free questions you've used today (counted separately for Test and Apply), and which sections of the Stats screen you leave open. Legal basis: performance of our contract with you. Versions of the app before 1.2 also recorded a practice streak. We cleared those records when 1.2 was released; an older version that is still in use keeps recording one until it is updated.

Microphone / voice: when you answer by speaking, or use the pronunciation feature, your device's microphone captures your speech so it can be turned into text and checked. How that transcription happens depends on your device: on Apple (iOS) devices it uses Apple's speech-recognition service, and on Android devices it uses Google's speech-recognition service. In both cases your spoken audio is sent to that provider (Apple or Google) to be converted to text, and their own privacy policies apply to that processing. We do not store your audio ourselves.

Subscription status: nemiria offers an optional paid subscription (monthly or annual) that unlocks the full app. If you subscribe, the payment is handled entirely by the app store (Apple or Google), and we never see or store your card details. The store tells the app whether your subscription is active, so we can unlock the paid features. We use RevenueCat to check and manage subscription status on our behalf.

What we do not collect

• No name, date of birth, phone number, or home address.
• No advertising identifiers, and no third-party advertising.
• No third-party analytics or cross-app / cross-site tracking.
• We never sell your personal information.

Age

nemiria is intended for people aged 16 and over and is not directed at children. When you first open the app we ask you to confirm you're 16 or older. We use this only to let you in. We do not store your date of birth.

Where your data is stored, and who helps us process it

Your email and progress are stored using Supabase, our database and authentication provider, in the Sydney, Australia (ap-southeast-2) region. Access is restricted so that only you can read or change your own data.

Other services that process limited data on our behalf:

• Apple and Google (speech recognition): when you answer by speaking, your spoken audio is sent to Apple's speech service (on iOS) or Google's (on Android) to be transcribed into text. Their own privacy policies apply to that processing.
• Apple / Google: the app stores. They handle your subscription payment and tell the app whether it's active; their own privacy policies apply.
• Apple (version check): each time you open the app, it also asks Apple's public App Store lookup service for the latest version of nemiria, on Android devices as well as Apple ones. The request names only the app and the New Zealand App Store; it contains no account details or progress. As with any request over the internet, Apple receives your device's IP address.
• RevenueCat: checks and manages your subscription status on our behalf.
• Resend: our email delivery provider. When you sign in, Resend sends the one-time numeric code to your email address on our behalf.
• Cloudflare: hosts our website. Each time you open the app, it checks a small file on our website (nemiria.app) to see whether a newer version is available. The request contains no account details or progress.
• jsDelivr: a public content delivery network. Versions of the app before 1.2 download part of their sign-in software from jsDelivr when you sign in, so it receives your device's IP address as part of that download. It does not receive your email address or your progress. From version 1.2 on, that software is part of the app and jsDelivr is not contacted.

International transfer

Some of your data may be handled outside your own country: your email and progress are stored in our Supabase region (Sydney, Australia); if you use the speaking features, your audio is sent to Apple's servers (on iOS) or Google's (on Android) to be transcribed; the app's version check contacts Apple's App Store servers; your subscription status is handled by the app stores and RevenueCat; and your sign-in code emails are delivered by Resend, which processes your email address in the United States. We rely on those providers' safeguards to protect it. If you'd like more detail, email us.

How long we keep your data

We keep your email and progress for as long as you have an account. When you delete your account, we permanently erase your email address and all of your progress from our systems. You can delete your account at any time from within the app; the option is available even if you're using the app as a guest. Deleting your account, or using “Erase all data on this device” as a guest, also clears your progress from that device, including your Word Pairs results and exam results. Our email provider keeps a record of the sign-in emails it has sent, including the address it sent them to, for 30 days. Those records expire automatically and are not used for anything else.

Your rights

You can ask us to:

• give you a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
• correct anything that's wrong;
• delete your data (the in-app “delete account” option does this immediately);
• provide your data in a portable form;
• stop or limit certain processing.

To exercise any of these, email [email protected].

If you're in New Zealand, you have these rights under the Privacy Act 2020, and you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. If you're in the EU or UK, you have them under the GDPR / UK GDPR, and you can complain to your local data-protection authority.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections and access controls that restrict each account to its own data. No online service can be completely secure, but we take care to limit both what we collect and who can reach it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we'll update the “Last updated” date above, and we'll tell you in the app if the change is significant.

Changes in this version (29 October 2026). nemiria 2.0 adds Word Pairs and Apply progress. We've updated “Your learning progress and settings” to say what is synced and what stays only on your device, added Apple's App Store version check to the services we use, and explained that deleting your account or erasing a device also clears the new records.
