Tempo ("we", "our", "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use the Tempo mobile application ("App").
Creating an account is optional — you can use the App and your subscription without one. If you choose to create an account, we collect:
During onboarding, we collect your language learning preferences, including native language, proficiency level, learning goals, and daily listening goals. This information is used to personalize your experience.
We collect information about how you use the App, including:
To understand how the App is used and improve it — for example, which onboarding steps users complete and how podcasts are played — we process event data together with a device identifier (a randomly generated ID stored on your device, used whether or not you have an account) and, if you have an account, your account ID, through our analytics provider, Amplitude.
Subscription purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We receive confirmation of your subscription status but do not have access to your payment details (credit card number, billing address, etc.).
We use the information we collect to:
If you create an account and opt in, we may use your email address to send you marketing communications, such as learning tips, product updates, and new-episode announcements. These are sent only with your consent. You can withdraw your consent and opt out at any time — using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or by contacting us at the address below. Opting out of marketing does not affect service-related messages, such as important account or subscription notices.
We use the following third-party services:
These services may collect and process data according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them.
Some of the third-party services above (Meta, Singular, and Google) are used for advertising measurement and may track your activity across apps and websites owned by other companies. On iOS, we ask for your permission before tracking through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. You can change this choice at any time in your device's Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. Our product analytics (Amplitude) is used only to improve the App and is not used to track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Your data is stored on Firebase servers (Google Cloud infrastructure). We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the service. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it by law.
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address below.
Tempo is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from your country. By using the App, you consent to such transfers.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy within the App. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
