Privacy Policy (Vocabee)

Last updated: December 20, 2025

Photos stay on your device by default. Recognition is processed securely without storing your shots.
This Privacy Policy explains how **Vocabee** (the “App”), operated by **Raconte Limited** (“we,” “us,” “our”), collects, uses, and protects information.

By using Vocabee, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We aim to collect only what’s necessary to operate Vocabee.

a. Information You Provide

Account information (required): Vocabee uses Supabase authentication with Sign in with Apple and Google OAuth. When you sign in, we receive information needed to authenticate your account (such as a stable account identifier and, depending on the provider and your settings, an email address).

Support communications: If you contact us by email, we may store that correspondence to respond.

b. Photos and Capture Content

Photos you capture are saved locally on your device. Vocabee does not store your photos on our servers.

c. Photo Recognition Processing (Server-Side)

To recognize objects in photos, Vocabee may transmit image data to:

  1. our servers for processing, and
  2. a third-party AI inference provider for object recognition.

We do not store your photos on our servers as part of this recognition process. We use the inference output (for example, predicted labels) to power the App experience.

d. Automatically Collected Data

At this time, Vocabee does not use third-party analytics or crash-reporting tools (e.g., PostHog, Sentry).

We and our infrastructure providers may maintain limited operational and security logs (for example, authentication logs) to operate and protect the service.

e. Location Data

Vocabee does not collect precise location data.

f. Purchases

If you purchase paid features, the App Store processes payments. We may receive limited information needed to enable your purchase (such as subscription status), but we do not receive your full payment card details.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Authenticate and secure your account
  • Operate the App features (including recognition results)
  • Provide support and respond to requests
  • Maintain reliability and prevent abuse

We do not sell or rent your personal data, and we do not share your data with advertisers.

3. How We Share Information

We share information only with service providers as needed to run the App, including:

  • Supabase (authentication and related infrastructure)
  • Third-party AI inference provider(s) (to perform photo recognition)

These providers handle data under their own terms and privacy policies. We share only the data necessary to provide the service (for example, image data for recognition).

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.

4. Data Storage and Security

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information, including encryption in transit where applicable (e.g., HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data.

Photos: Stored on your device by default (see Section 1b).

5. Data Retention

  • Recognition processing: Photos transmitted for recognition are not stored by us as part of the recognition process.
  • Account data: We retain account-related information for as long as your account is active and as needed to operate the App, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

6. Your Choices and Controls

  • Photos: Because photos are stored on your device, you can delete them through your device photo management tools or by deleting the App.
  • Account deletion: You can request account deletion by emailing [email protected]. We will take reasonable steps to delete your account data from our systems, subject to legal/operational requirements.

7. Children’s Privacy

Vocabee is intended for users aged 13 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we learn we have done so, we will promptly delete that data.

8. International Users

Your data may be processed in countries where our service providers operate. By using Vocabee, you consent to this processing in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date and may provide notice via the App or store listing if changes are material.
