Phrase Passport

Privacy

We know nothing about you, and we have built the app to keep it that way.

The short version

No account. No sign-up. No email address.
No cookies. No tracking. No adverts.
Your progress is saved on your own phone or computer, not with us.
Your voice recordings never leave your device.

Who we are

Phrase Passport (phrasepassport.co.uk) is run by Lanternfish Media, a small independent UK publisher. You can reach us at [contact email].

What we collect about you

Nothing. The app has no accounts and no forms. Nothing you do in it is sent to us.

What is saved on your device

The app saves a few things in your own browser, so it can work:

Your progress: your trip date, which phrases you have met, your stamps and your settings.
The app itself: its pictures and voice clips, so it works with no signal.

These stay on your device. We cannot see them. If you clear your browser's data, or tap "Start again" in Settings, your progress is wiped. We cannot get it back for you.

This is storage the app needs in order to work. It is not used to follow you, so there is no cookie banner.

The microphone

The app asks for the microphone only when you tap Record.
The recording is kept in your device's memory so you can hear yourself back.
It is never saved, never sent to us and never sent to anyone else.
It is thrown away when you move on.
You can say no to the microphone. Everything else still works.

The voices

The Spanish is played from clips that are part of the app.
The English is read by your device's own voice. Some browsers make that voice on their maker's servers. In that case the English words on the screen are sent to the browser's maker to be spoken. Those words are the app's own text, such as "A coffee, please". They say nothing about you.

Our web host

Like every website, ours is kept on a web host. The host keeps ordinary visit logs, such as the time of a visit and the internet address it came from, to keep the service running and safe. We do not use these logs to work out who you are.

Other companies

The app loads nothing from other companies: no adverts, no tracking, no social media buttons, no outside fonts. If we add links to other websites one day, those sites have their own privacy policies.

Children

The app is suitable for all ages and collects nothing from anyone, whatever their age.

Your rights

UK data protection law gives you rights over information held about you, such as the right to see it or have it deleted. We hold no information about you, so there is nothing for us to show or delete. If you have a question or a worry, email us at [contact email]. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes

If the app changes in a way that affects your privacy, we will change this page first and put a new date on it.
