Local Language Coach Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how BitQuest Studio LLC handles information in Local Language Coach.

Summary

Local Language Coach has no BitQuest Studio account system, advertising, cross-app tracking, or third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDK. Learning progress is stored on your device and may sync through your private iCloud database. Apple processes App Store purchases. Optional speaking practice uses a temporary on-device recording that is not uploaded.

Learning data stored on your device

The app stores the information needed to provide its learning features, including:

  • onboarding status and current onboarding step
  • selected regional edition
  • learning reason and optional travel date
  • selected membership option
  • lesson starts, completion, and resume position
  • saved phrases
  • review history, grades, intervals, and next review dates
  • streak and activity dates

This information is used to provide app functionality, such as resuming lessons, scheduling review, and showing progress. It is not used for advertising or to build a marketing profile.

Private iCloud sync

When iCloud is available, eligible learning data may sync through Apple CloudKit in your private iCloud database. Apple states that only the user can access a private CloudKit database by default and that its contents are not visible in the developer portal. If private iCloud sync is unavailable, the app falls back to local storage when possible.

BitQuest Studio LLC does not operate a separate learner-account server and does not receive your private course-progress records on its own servers.

You can control iCloud for the app through iOS Settings. Deleting the app removes its local data from that iPhone. A synced copy may remain in your private iCloud storage until you remove it through your Apple Account’s iCloud storage controls.

Purchases and subscriptions

Apple processes subscriptions and payment information. The app receives StoreKit product information and verified transaction or entitlement status needed to show plans, complete a purchase, restore a purchase, and unlock membership access. BitQuest Studio LLC does not receive your full payment-card information.

Apple keeps purchase and subscription records under Apple’s policies. You can manage a subscription in your Apple subscription settings.

Audio, microphone, and speech recognition

Course audio is pre-generated with synthetic neural voices and bundled with the app. If you choose Record my phrase, Local Language Coach requests Microphone and Speech Recognition permission, stores a temporary recording only on the device, and requires on-device transcription. The clip is available for immediate playback and is deleted when you leave the practice. The app does not upload the recording or transcription and does not calculate a pronunciation score.

Apple analytics and diagnostics

The app does not contain a separate analytics or crash-reporting SDK and does not send its own analytics to BitQuest Studio LLC. It keeps bounded product-use summaries on the device, without a user or device identifier. From Apple’s on-device MetricKit reports, it retains at most 14 redacted daily performance windows and 14 redacted daily diagnostic windows. These include aggregate launch, resume, hang, memory, CPU, foreground-time, logical-write, scroll-hitch, and diagnostic measurements. It does not retain raw crash stacks, raw MetricKit payloads, diagnostic strings, signposts, or device and process metadata.

If you open Contact Support, the app prepares an email draft that includes the app and iOS versions. On-device product and diagnostic summaries are excluded by default. You can explicitly include them with the Include on-device diagnostics toggle, preview the exact summary, and edit or remove it before sending. Nothing is transmitted until you choose to send the email. The draft does not include lesson answers, saved phrases, voice recordings, purchase details, device identifiers, raw crash data, or call stacks.

Apple may separately provide BitQuest Studio LLC with aggregated App Store, subscription, usage, and diagnostic information under Apple’s programs. Usage information is limited by Apple’s user opt-in and privacy thresholds. TestFlight crash reports are handled through Apple. We use available reports to understand product performance, diagnose crashes, and improve reliability.

Apple collects and processes that information under Apple’s own terms and privacy policies. Local Language Coach does not use it for advertising or cross-app tracking.

Support communications

If you contact us by email, we receive your email address, message, and any files or information you choose to provide. We use that information to answer the request, diagnose problems, protect the app and its users, and maintain records required for legal or business purposes.

Routine support correspondence is deleted within 24 months after the request is closed, unless it must be kept longer for security, legal, tax, accounting, or dispute-resolution purposes. Do not send passwords, payment-card information, or sensitive personal information.

Sharing, selling, and tracking

BitQuest Studio LLC does not sell personal information. Local Language Coach does not include advertising, data-broker sharing, cross-app tracking, or use of the advertising identifier. We disclose support information only when needed to operate support services, comply with law, protect rights and safety, or complete a business transfer subject to applicable protections.

Children’s privacy

Local Language Coach is a general-audience educational app and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the app. If you believe a child sent personal information in a support message, contact us so we can review and delete it when appropriate.

Your choices and requests

You can:

  • reset local learning progress from Settings without canceling a subscription
  • delete the app to remove its remaining local app data from that iPhone
  • control or remove synced app data through your Apple Account’s iCloud settings
  • manage or cancel subscriptions through Apple
  • ask us to access, correct, or delete information contained in a support request

Because BitQuest Studio LLC does not operate a learner account or have access to private iCloud course records, we generally cannot retrieve or delete those records for you. For privacy questions or requests, email publishing@bitqueststudio.com with the subject Local Language Coach Privacy Request.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards for information we control. No storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. Keep your Apple Account and device credentials private.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the app, its services, or applicable requirements change. The date at the top identifies the latest version. Material changes will be posted at this URL before or when they take effect.
