Effective date: November 14, 2026
This policy explains what information Hindi Seekho, the free Romanized Hindi learning app on hindiseekhoapp.com, collects and how it is used. It covers the app only. We keep the data we collect to a minimum.
What we collect
- Learning progress on your device. Your lessons, points, streak and review schedule are saved in your browser’s local storage. This stays on your device unless you sign in.
- A random device ID. The app creates a random ID so the weekly leaderboard can tell your entry apart from others. It is not linked to your name or identity.
- Your display name. If you join the leaderboard, the nickname you choose and your weekly points are saved and shown publicly to other learners.
- Google sign-in (optional). If you choose Sign in with Google, Google sends us a sign-in token. We check it with Google, then save only an anonymous account ID made from your Google account number, your first name for that session’s greeting, and your learning progress and nickname. We do not save your email address, full name, profile photo or Google password, and we never get access to your Gmail, contacts or other Google data.
- Discussion posts. Posting in the app’s discussion requires Google sign-in and a display name. We save your post, the time you posted it, your display name and your anonymous account ID. Posts and display names are public to everyone who opens the app. You can delete your own posts at any time.
How we use it
- To save your progress and sync it between your devices when you sign in.
- To show the weekly leaderboard.
- To run the discussion area, prevent spam and remove posts that break our rules.
We do not sell, rent or share your information for advertising. We do not use it to build profiles about you.
Services we rely on
- Google Sign-In (only if you use it), under Google’s Privacy Policy.
- Google Fonts, which loads the app’s fonts. Your browser connects to Google to download them, which shares your IP address with Google.
- Your device’s built-in voice for listening practice. The app does not record your voice or send audio anywhere.
- Our web host, which stores the website and its database.
How long we keep it
Leaderboard entries are grouped by week. Account progress is kept until you ask us to delete it. Progress saved only in your browser stays until you clear your browser data.
Your choices
- You can use the whole app without signing in or joining the leaderboard.
- You can sign out at any time from the Leaders tab.
- To see or delete the data tied to your account or nickname, send a request through our contact page. We will respond within 30 days.
- Clearing your browser’s site data removes the progress stored on that device.
Children
The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has signed in, contact us and we will delete the data.
Security
Information is sent over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Sign-in tokens are verified with Google before anything is saved. No method of storage is perfectly secure, but we limit what we keep so there is little to expose.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the effective date above.
