Veyra

The short version. Your conversations never leave your device. There is no Veyra account and no Veyra server. The free version shows ads and sends anonymous usage and crash reports to Google; you can turn the reports off, and Veyra Plus removes the ads. Nothing you say to your companion is ever part of either.

1. What stays on your device

Veyra is an iPhone and iPad app for practising spoken languages with an AI companion. Everything you create or say in it is processed on your device by Apple's on-device models and stored only on your device:

Your spoken and typed conversations, transcripts and history.
The memory your companion keeps about you — your goals, vocabulary, corrections, streaks, level and settings.
Custom characters, avatars and any photo you use to create a look. Photos used for a look are not kept by Veyra and are never uploaded.
Translations of words and explanations into your language, made by Apple's on-device Translation framework and cached on your device.

We run no servers for Veyra, so we cannot read, copy or recover this data. Delete all data in Settings erases it from the device. Deleting the app erases it too.

2. Speech, microphone and on-device intelligence

Conversations are generated by Apple's on-device model. Speech recognition normally runs on your device as well. For a few languages, iOS may process speech on Apple's servers when the on-device language asset is not installed; Veyra tells you when this applies. That processing is done by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy, not by us.

Microphone and speech-recognition access are requested the first time you start a conversation, and each can be refused or revoked in iOS Settings. Veyra never records in the background.

Some features download assets from Apple the first time you use them (speech models, premium voices, translation language packs). Those downloads are requests to Apple and contain none of your content.

3. No account

Veyra does not ask you to sign up. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number or contacts.

4. Information collected by third-party services

The free version of Veyra shows ads and collects anonymous usage and crash information through Google services. This is the only data that leaves your device, and conversation content is never part of it.

Service	What it may collect	Why
Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK)	Device identifiers (the advertising identifier, only if you allow tracking), coarse location derived from IP address, ad interactions	Showing and measuring ads, limiting fraud
Google User Messaging Platform	Your consent choice	Asking for consent where the law requires it (EEA, UK, some US states)
Google Analytics for Firebase	Anonymous app events (screens used, feature use), device and app information	Understanding which features are used
Firebase Crashlytics	Crash logs, performance and diagnostic data	Fixing crashes

None of this is linked to your identity by us. Google processes it under its own terms: see how Google uses information from apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy. Subscribers to Veyra Plus do not see ads.

5. Tracking and your choices

Tracking permission. Veyra asks before using the advertising identifier for personalised ads. If you decline, ads are not personalised. Change it any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Ad consent. Where required, you see a consent form. Reopen it in Veyra under Settings → Privacy & data → Ad privacy options.
Analytics and crash reports. Turn them off in Veyra under Settings → Privacy & data → Share anonymous usage & crash reports.
Remove ads. Veyra Plus removes ads entirely.

6. Purchases

Subscriptions are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not see or store your payment details. Veyra checks your subscription status on your device through Apple's StoreKit.

7. Widgets, Siri and Shortcuts

The Veyra widget, Live Activity and Siri shortcuts read a small progress summary that the app shares with them on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere. Siri requests you make are handled by Apple under Apple's terms.

8. Notifications

Practice reminders are scheduled on your device and only if you allow notifications. They can be turned off in Veyra's Settings or in iOS Settings at any time.

9. Children

Veyra is not directed to children. Companion characters with romantic themes require a one-time confirmation that you are 17 or older. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

10. Your rights

Because we hold no personal data, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete on our side. For data held by Google (ads, analytics), use the controls above or Google's privacy tools. If you are in the EEA, UK or California and have a request, write to appwells31@gmail.com and we will explain what applies.

11. Security and retention

Your data stays in your device's protected storage. Analytics and crash data are retained by Google according to its default settings.

12. Changes

If this policy changes, we update the date above and, for material changes, tell you in the app.
