Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what data Learn Bonjour collects, why, and how it's handled. It applies to everyone who uses the Service, whether on a free or paid plan.

1. What we collect

• Account info: name, email, password (stored as a secure hash), and your chosen plan.
• Learning data: your progress, quiz answers, flashcard reviews, mock exam attempts, writing/speaking submissions, and self-reported exam target/level.
• AI interactions: prompts you send to AI Practice, the AI Tutor, and mock exam Writing/Speaking answers, so we can generate exercises and grade your work.
• Billing info: handled entirely by Stripe — we never see or store your full card number.
• Usage data: pages visited, features used, and basic device/browser info, to keep the Service reliable and diagnose problems.

2. How we use it

• To run the Service: deliver lessons, grade your practice and mock exams, track your progress, and enforce your plan's entitlements.
• To personalize your experience: recommend content based on your weak areas and level.
• To communicate with you: streak reminders, exam countdowns, grading notifications, and account/billing notices (you can opt out of non-essential emails in your profile).
• To improve Learn Bonjour: reviewing how features are used, based on the usage data above — we don't currently run a dedicated analytics tool; if we add one, we'll update this policy and ask again via the cookie banner.

3. AI processing

Writing/speaking answers, generated practice content, and AI Tutor conversations are sent to Google Gemini (our AI provider) to generate feedback, grades, or responses. This content is processed to serve your request and is not used by us to train third-party models. Speaking audio is sent for grading and stored, in a private location only you and our systems can access, so you can review and replay your own submissions — we keep it for as long as your account is active, and it's deleted along with the rest of your data if you delete your account (see "Data retention" below).

4. Who we share data with

• Stripe — payment processing.
• Supabase — our database and file storage provider.
• Google Gemini — AI generation and grading, as described above.
• Resend — transactional email delivery (signup confirmations, receipts, notifications).
• We don't sell your personal data, ever.

5. Community & Q&A visibility

Questions you ask in Q&A are visible to our instructors. If a question and its answer are shared to the Community view, your identity is not shown — it appears as "Community member." Leaderboard participation is opt-in and shows your name only if you've turned it on.

6. Data retention

We keep your account data, including stored speaking-practice audio, for as long as your account is active. Deleting your account (Profile > Delete account) removes your data — including your progress, submissions, and stored audio — immediately, not on a delayed schedule, except billing records we're required to retain by law (kept, but anonymized: no longer linked to you). Where we still handle a deletion request manually (e.g. a Google-only account with no password set), we complete it within 30 days.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. Signed-in learners can download a copy of their data anytime from Profile > Download my data, and delete their account (and everything tied to it) anytime from Profile > Delete account — both are immediate and self-serve, no request needed. You can also reach Help & Support in the app for anything these self-serve tools don't cover.

8. Cookies & analytics

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and remember your preferences — that's all, today. We don't currently run any analytics or advertising cookies. If that changes, we'll update this policy and ask again via the cookie banner before anything new is enabled.

9. Security

We use industry-standard measures (encrypted connections, hashed passwords, access controls) to protect your data. No system is 100% secure, but we work to keep yours safe.

10. Changes to this policy

We'll update the date above whenever this policy changes. Material changes will be communicated in-app or by email.
