Privacy Policy

Tribbit for Android needs no account. Learning progress, play history and the diamond wallet stay on your device. Google Play and RevenueCat process purchase information for paid features. The app has no ads or advertising profiles.

1. Who we are and scope

Tribbit ("the App") is developed by Gentleflow ("we"). This policy covers the Android app, including the Google Play and China distribution channels. Contact gentleflowoverseas@gmail.com about privacy. The iOS policy describes the Apple version separately.

2. On-device learning data and pronunciation

Level progress, stars, best times and scores, play history, learning-calendar and report data, settings, the diamond balance and transaction ledger, and locally cached membership information are stored in the app's private storage on your device, using local files, DataStore or preferences. Words, pictures and recordings are bundled with the app. We do not upload learning data to our servers. Android has no iCloud or other cross-device learning-data or diamond-wallet sync; automatic Android app-data backup is disabled.

Pronunciation uses bundled recordings when available, otherwise Android's system TextToSpeech service. Text to be spoken is passed to the speech engine selected on your device, which may be supplied by Google or your device manufacturer. Depending on that engine and your settings, speech may be processed on the device or through the engine provider's network service under its own privacy policy. You can manage the engine and downloaded voices in Android settings. Tribbit does not record your voice or request microphone access.

The current Android app has no built-in export, save-to-gallery or sharing feature for learning records or reports, and does not read your photo library. Opening a legal page or the Play store takes you to the relevant external service, which handles that visit under its own policy.

3. Google Play purchases and RevenueCat

In the Google Play channel, Google Play handles monthly and yearly subscriptions, lifetime membership and consumable diamond purchases. We do not receive your Google account password, payment card number or full payment details. See Google's Privacy Policy.

We use RevenueCat, Inc. to retrieve purchase offers, validate and restore purchases, manage membership entitlements, reconcile diamond purchases and provide purchase-related reporting. Its SDK uses a randomly generated app-user identifier and processes purchase tokens, product and transaction identifiers, purchase history, entitlement status, and necessary technical information such as app and operating-system versions, device type, locale, country and currency. It can contact RevenueCat when the app starts or returns to the foreground to load offers and refresh purchase status, even if you do not make a new purchase. Connections are encrypted; purchase records are retained for these functions rather than processed only temporarily. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

We do not sell personal data or provide it to data brokers. RevenueCat processes purchase information on our behalf. The app does not configure advertising identifiers, advertising profiles or marketing integrations with RevenueCat; purchase-related reporting is separate from tracking learning activity.

4. China channel and information we do not request

The China channel does not include RevenueCat or Google Play Billing. It includes a client for redeeming a code for lifetime membership, with installation-bound activation information stored locally. As of this policy's effective date, the production redemption service has not been deployed and production redemption requests are disabled, so the app does not send redemption codes or installation claim information to a production redemption service. We will update this policy before enabling that service.

Learning requires no registration, name, email address, telephone number or contact information. The app does not collect contacts, precise location, photos or browsing history, use advertising identifiers for tracking, or include ads or a separate general-purpose analytics SDK. Its declared app permissions are Internet access and vibration; the Play build also requests network-state access and store billing permission through its purchase dependencies.

If you email support, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to send. Please avoid sending unnecessary personal information.

5. Children's privacy

Tribbit is intended for all ages, including children under 13. We do not ask children to provide, or collect from them, names, contact details, photos, voice recordings or precise location. Learning data stays on the device as described above. There are no ads, behavioral advertising profiles or cross-app tracking.

The limited purchase and technical processing by Google Play and RevenueCat described in section 3 also applies on a child's device; we do not use it to identify or profile a child for advertising. Optional purchases are handled by Google Play and are subject to its purchase approval, authentication and parental controls where applicable. A parent or guardian should authorize and manage purchases and the device's speech-engine settings. Parents or guardians can contact us about a child's data without having the child send a support request.

6. Your choices, deletion and retention

Clearing app data or uninstalling removes local progress, history, settings, diamond balances and locally stored activation information. These local records are not backed up by us. Restoring an eligible store membership does not restore learning history or guarantee recovery of consumed diamonds or a lost local wallet. Local records remain until you clear them; uninstalling does not delete purchase records held by Google Play or RevenueCat.

Manage or cancel subscriptions in Google Play under Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Uninstalling does not cancel a subscription. Purchase records are retained as needed to validate and restore purchases, meet legal obligations and under the providers' applicable policies.

For privacy questions, access or purchase-data deletion requests, contact gentleflowoverseas@gmail.com. We may need information to locate and verify the relevant purchase. Do not send passwords or payment card details. Applicable legal retention requirements may limit deletion. We cannot retrieve learning data stored only on your device.

7. International processing and changes

Google, RevenueCat and your selected speech-engine provider may process information outside your country under their applicable policies and safeguards. We may update this policy; material changes will be reflected here with an updated effective date. See also the Android Terms of Use.
