Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Volodymyr Vechirnii (shown in the App Store as “Volodymyr Vechirnii”) (“I”, “me”, “my”) handle information in my products, including the Speak2Work English mobile application and the website available at sunseaapps.com.

1. Summary

I collect only the minimum information needed to operate, secure, and improve my apps. I do not sell your data, I do not use third-party advertising SDKs, and I do not track you across other apps or websites.

• No account is required to use the current version of Speak2Work English.
• The current version of Speak2Work English does not use the device microphone. If future versions add speaking practice features, this Policy will be updated accordingly.
• I use diagnostics and crash reports (for example, Firebase Crashlytics) to keep the app reliable.

2. What this Policy covers

This Policy applies to:

• the Speak2Work English app published under my Apple Developer account (listed as “Volodymyr Vechirnii”);
• any future variants of Speak2Work English that link to this page;
• the website available at sunseaapps.com and related landing pages for my apps.

3. Information I collect

3.1. Information you provide directly

• Support messages. If you contact me by email, I receive your email address and any information you include in the message. I use it only to respond and to improve my services.

3.2. Microphone audio

The current version of Speak2Work English does not access or record microphone audio. If in the future I add speaking or voice-practice features that use the microphone, this section will be updated and you will see a clear permission prompt inside the app.

3.3. Device and app diagnostics

To keep the app stable and to understand basic usage patterns, I may collect limited technical data such as:

• device model, operating system version, preferred language/locale;
• anonymous or pseudonymous identifiers generated by the app or platform;
• crash logs, error reports, and basic performance metrics.

This information is typically processed by platform services and analytics tools such as Firebase Crashlytics or similar diagnostics providers. It is used only to fix bugs, improve performance, and maintain security.

3.4. Website analytics and logs

My website hosting and analytics providers may collect standard server logs (for example, IP address and browser type) and anonymous usage statistics. I use this information to keep the site secure and to understand which pages are most helpful.

4. How I use your information

• To provide core app features (lessons, listening practice, voice practice where available).
• To maintain and improve app reliability, performance, and user experience.
• To detect, investigate, and prevent abuse or technical issues.
• To respond to your questions and support requests.
• To meet legal and platform requirements (for example, App Store or Google Play policies).

5. Third-party services

I rely on certain third-party services to run my apps and website. These services may process limited data on my behalf, under their own privacy terms:

• Apple App Store / Google Play. For app distribution, updates, and basic store analytics.
• Firebase Crashlytics / similar diagnostics. For crash reporting and performance monitoring.
• Hosting and content delivery providers. To serve app assets, audio files, and the website.

I do not authorize these providers to use your data for their own marketing or to build advertising profiles about you.

6. Data sharing and sales

• I do not sell your personal data.
• I do not share data with third parties for their own advertising or cross-app tracking.
• I may share data only:
  • with service providers that help me operate the apps (under contracts that limit use);
  • to comply with legal obligations or lawful requests from authorities;
  • to protect the rights, safety, or property of users, myself, or others.

7. Retention

I keep diagnostics and analytics data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, after which it is deleted or aggregated. Support emails are retained for as long as reasonably needed to handle your request and maintain appropriate records. Temporary audio used for voice practice is not retained longer than required for that feature to function, unless you explicitly save it inside the app.

8. Your choices and controls

• Microphone access. You can grant or revoke microphone permission at any time in your device settings. If you turn it off, speaking practice features that require the microphone will not be available.
• Emails and support. You can choose not to send me support emails. If you do, you control what information is included.
• Data access and deletion. You can request deletion of data reasonably linkable to your device or email by contacting me at [email protected]. When you do, please include details (for example, device model, app version, or screenshots) so I can locate the relevant records.

9. Children

My apps are designed for learners aged 13 and older and are not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided me with personal information, please contact me and I will take steps to delete it.

10. International use

I operate from Canada. Depending on your location and on my service providers, your data may be processed in Canada, the United States, or other countries. I take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place when data is processed in other regions.

11. Changes to this Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy as I add new features or to reflect legal and regulatory changes. When I do, I will update the “Effective” date at the top of this page. For significant changes, I may also show an in-app notice or require you to review the updated policy inside the app.
