This Privacy Policy explains how Language1Friend ("we," "us," "the Service") collects, uses, and protects information when you use language1friend.com and its related features, including sign-in, browsing, voice clips, and messaging.
Information We Collect
Account information: When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and Google account ID (not your Google password). Your Google profile photo is stored for internal reference only and is never shown to other users.
Profile content: Photos you upload, your chosen avatar, gender, and any display name or profile details you set within the Service.
Voice clips: Short audio recordings you choose to record or upload as part of your profile.
Usage and log data: IP address, approximate geographic location (derived from IP address, not GPS), browser/device information, and timestamps of activity such as sign-ins and page visits.
Communications: Messages or call-signaling data exchanged through the Service's chat/voice/video features, to the extent needed to operate those features.
How We Use Information
To create and maintain your account and profile
To operate core features: sign-in, browsing other profiles, voice clips, and calls
To keep the Service secure, prevent abuse, and enforce our terms (e.g., banning accounts that violate our policies)
To understand aggregate usage of the Service and improve it over time
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Third-Party Sign-In (Google)
Language1Friend uses Google Sign-In to authenticate users. When you sign in with Google, Google's own Privacy Policy also applies to that transaction. We only request your basic profile and email information from Google - never your Google password, and never access to your Gmail, Drive, or other Google services.
Data Retention
We retain account and profile data for as long as your account is active. If you'd like your account and associated data deleted, contact us using the information below and we will remove it, except where we're required to retain certain records by law.
Your Choices
You can update or remove your uploaded photo, voice clip, and profile details at any time within the Service.
You can request full deletion of your account and data by contacting us.
Language1Friend is not directed to individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
