Privacy Policy

Eloqia is an app for learning German by reading. This policy explains what information the Eloqia app and this website collect, why, who processes it and the choices you have. The short version: we collect only what the app needs to work, we don’t show ads, we don’t track you across apps or websites, and we never sell your data.

Who is responsible

Eloqia is provided by Ömer Faruk Aydın (“we”). For any privacy question or request, contact our support address (coming soon).

What we collect

Without an account

You can read without signing in. Your reading progress, saved words and settings are then stored only on your device. To load books, the app requests their texts, covers and narration from our servers; these requests don’t identify you.

With an account (Sign in with Apple)

• Account: the identifier Apple gives us for your account and your email address, or the private relay address if you choose Hide My Email. We don’t receive your Apple ID password.
• Learning data: your reading progress, saved books, the words you save (with the sentence you found them in), your review schedule, daily reading activity (time read, chapters finished, words looked up, per device, using a random identifier created by the app) and your app settings, so they sync across your devices.
• Premium: whether you have an active subscription, which plan, and when it renews or expires.

Purchases

Payments are handled entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details. To manage subscriptions we use RevenueCat, which receives your purchase receipts from Apple and your Eloqia account identifier.

This website

The website doesn’t use cookies, analytics or trackers. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP addresses) for security.

Why we use it

• To provide the app: show your books and progress, sync them across your devices and schedule your reviews.
• To provide Premium: unlock chapters for subscribers.
• To answer you when you contact support.

Under the GDPR, we process account and learning data to perform our contract with you (providing the app), and subscription data for the same reason and to meet legal obligations.

Who processes it

• Supabase hosts our database, sign-in and files, in the European Union (Frankfurt, Germany).
• RevenueCat manages subscriptions, in the United States.
• Apple provides Sign in with Apple, the App Store and payments.

These providers process data only on our behalf and under their own security and privacy commitments. Transfers outside the EU rely on safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

What we don’t do

• No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
• No tracking across other companies’ apps or websites.
• No selling or renting of personal data.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and learning data while you have an account. When you delete your account, we delete it and all its data permanently. Subscription records may be kept longer where the law requires it.

Your choices and rights

• Delete your account any time in the app: Settings → Delete Account.
• Use the app without an account, keeping everything on your device.
• You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, to restrict or object to processing, or to delete it, by contacting our support address (coming soon). You can also complain to your data protection authority.

Children

Eloqia isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their personal data.

Changes

If we change this policy, we’ll update it here and change the date at the top. Significant changes will also be announced in the app.
