Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 3, 2026

Linguino (linguino.site) is a game for learning languages with friends. This page explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.

What we collect

Account. When you sign in (with email or with Google), our sign-in provider Clerk gives us your name, email address and profile picture. We use them only to identify your account.
Learning progress. Your review deck, XP, missions, known words, lessons, readings, level and daily goal, stored on our server so they follow you between devices.
Game data. The display name you choose and what you do inside a room, kept in memory only while the room is open.
Technical data. IP addresses and request logs, used to keep the service running and to stop abuse. Logs are rotated and not used for anything else.

Voice, captions and translation

Voice calls go directly between players' browsers (WebRTC); we do not record them. Captions are made on your device (Whisper running locally) or, in some browsers, by the browser's own speech recognition, which may send audio to the browser vendor (for example Google in Chrome). Translation runs on your device or on our own server; we do not use paid third-party AI services.

Google sign-in

If you sign in with Google, we receive only your basic profile (name, email, picture). We do not access your Gmail, Drive, contacts or any other Google data. Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your data and we do not show ads. Data is processed only by the providers needed to run Linguino: Clerk (accounts) and Amazon Web Services (hosting, EU – Ireland). Other players in your room see your display name and what you say or write in the game.

Storage on your device

We use your browser's local storage to keep your settings and progress, and a cache for offline use and downloaded speech models. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

Your choices

You can export or delete your progress, and ask us to delete your account and all data tied to it, by writing to diocal2724@gmail.com. We answer within 30 days.

Children

Linguino is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page.
