Privacy Policy – Phrase Ace

Effective date: August 21, 2026 · Last updated: September 13, 2026

1. Scope and Effective Date

This Privacy Policy explains how Velastra LLC ("Velastra," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information in connection with the Phrase Ace mobile application (the "App") and the Phrase Ace website (together, the "Services").

This policy takes effect on August 21, 2026 and replaces all prior versions. It does not apply to third-party services that you access separately, or to Apple's and Google's own handling of information under their respective privacy policies.

For the terms governing your use of the App, see our Terms of Service.

2. Summary

This summary is for convenience only. The full policy below controls.

  • Phrase Ace is a language-learning app. You create an account, and we store your learning progress, preferences, and subscription status.
  • We collect your email address (and your name, where you or your sign-in provider supplies it), account and analytics identifiers, how you use the App, your subscription status, basic technical and diagnostic information, and campaign or referral information when you open the App through a marketing link.
  • We use a small set of service providers — Supabase, Mixpanel, RevenueCat, OneSignal, Apple, Google, and our hosting providers — to run the App on our behalf.
  • Phrase Ace does not display third-party advertisements, does not use advertising SDKs, and does not access the Apple advertising identifier (IDFA).
  • We do not sell your personal information, share it with data brokers, or use it for targeted advertising or advertising measurement.
  • You can delete your account, and the data associated with it, from inside the App.

3. Information We Collect

Phrase Ace requires an account. Depending on how you use the App, we collect the following categories of information:

a. Contact information

  • Email address — used to identify your account, sign you in, send service messages, and respond to support requests.
  • Name — when you provide it during account creation, or when Apple or Google supplies it as part of the sign-in you choose. If you use Apple's "Hide My Email" feature, we receive Apple's private relay address rather than your personal email address.

b. Identifiers

  • Account (user) ID — a unique identifier assigned to your account by Supabase, our authentication and database provider.
  • Analytics device or installation ID — an identifier generated by Mixpanel for your App installation, used for first-party product analytics.
  • Push notification token — a device-level token issued by Apple or Google and used by OneSignal to deliver notifications you have allowed. It is created only if you enable notifications.

Phrase Ace does not access the Apple Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) or use any advertising identifier.

c. Product interaction and usage data

Events describing how you use the App, such as:

  • App launches and sessions
  • Screens and features viewed or used
  • Searches performed within the App
  • Practice sessions, answers, and results
  • Favorites and saved items
  • Streaks and progress milestones
  • Paywall views and subscription interactions
  • Similar engagement events used to understand how the App is performing

d. Subscription information

  • Product identifier of the subscription you purchased
  • Entitlement status (whether your subscription is currently active)
  • Purchase platform or store (Apple App Store or Google Play)
  • Renewal status, subscription period, and expiration date

We do not receive or store your payment card number, bank details, or billing address. Those are handled by Apple and Google. See Section 10.

e. Technical and diagnostic information

  • App version and build
  • Operating platform (for example, iOS or Android)
  • Error codes, error messages, and related diagnostic information used to identify and fix problems
  • IP address — because the App communicates over the internet, your device's IP address is necessarily received by our service providers and hosting infrastructure when the App connects to them. It is used to route traffic, operate the service, and protect against abuse.

f. Attribution information

  • UTM campaign parameters
  • Referral information
  • Initial deep-link information, when you open the App through such a link

We use this information to understand which of our own campaigns and links bring people to Phrase Ace. It is not used to build advertising profiles or to target you across other companies' apps or websites.

g. Learning data and preferences

  • Your learning progress, review history, streaks, and favorites
  • App settings and preferences, including notification preferences

This information is stored on your device and, where the feature is available, synchronized with your account so it is available when you sign in again or on another device.

4. Where the Information Comes From

  • From you — when you create an account, set preferences, contact support, or use the App.
  • From your device and the App — usage events, technical and diagnostic information, and locally stored learning data.
  • From your identity provider — if you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive the account identifier and email address, and your name where the provider supplies it and you allow it. We do not receive your password.
  • From the app stores and our subscription provider — Apple, Google, and RevenueCat provide subscription and entitlement status so the App knows what you have access to.
  • From links you follow — campaign, referral, and deep-link parameters present in a link you used to open the App.

5. How We Use Information

  • Provide the App — create and authenticate your account, deliver lessons and practice, save your progress, and synchronize your data across your devices.
  • Manage subscriptions — verify entitlements, unlock paid features, and handle subscription status and support questions.
  • Send notifications and service messages — deliver push notifications you have allowed, along with account, security, and transactional messages.
  • Understand and improve the product — first-party analytics that show us which features are used, where people get stuck, and what to build or fix next.
  • Diagnose and fix problems — investigate errors, crashes, and performance issues.
  • Measure our own marketing — understand which of our campaigns and referral links lead to installs and sign-ups, using the attribution information described above.
  • Protect the Services — detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
  • Comply with law — meet legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

We do not use your information for third-party advertising, targeted advertising, advertising measurement, or to build advertising profiles about you.

6. Service Providers and Disclosures

We use the service providers below to operate Phrase Ace. They process information on our behalf and under our instructions, for the limited purposes described here. They are not permitted to use your information for their own cross-app advertising purposes, and they do not become the owners of your data.

  • Supabase — authentication, account storage, database services, cloud synchronization of your learning data, and account deletion.
    Supabase Privacy Policy
  • Mixpanel — first-party product analytics. Mixpanel receives the usage events and profile properties described in Section 8 so that we can understand and improve the App.
    Mixpanel Privacy Policy
  • RevenueCat — subscription management and entitlement verification. RevenueCat receives subscription and entitlement information and an identifier linking it to your account.
    RevenueCat Privacy Policy
  • OneSignal — delivery of push notifications and other messaging you have permitted. OneSignal receives your push token and basic device information needed to deliver a notification.
    OneSignal Privacy Policy
  • Apple — app distribution, Sign in with Apple, push notification delivery, and processing of purchases and refunds for the iOS App.
    Apple Privacy Policy
  • Google — app distribution, Google Sign-In, push notification delivery, and processing of purchases and refunds for the Android App.
    Google Privacy Policy
  • Hosting and infrastructure providers — the providers that host the Phrase Ace backend and website. They process information, including IP addresses in server logs, in order to deliver the Services.

Other disclosures. We may also disclose information:

  • To comply with law — where required by applicable law, legal process, or an enforceable governmental request.
  • To protect rights and safety — where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Velastra LLC, our users, or the public, or to investigate fraud or abuse.
  • In a business transaction — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, in which case we will require the recipient to honor this policy or give you notice before your information becomes subject to a materially different policy.
  • With your direction — where you ask us to share information.

We do not disclose your personal information to third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.

7. No Advertising, No Cross-App Tracking, No Sale of Data

  • Phrase Ace does not display third-party advertisements.
  • Advertising SDKs have been removed from the App.
  • The App does not access the Apple Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) or any equivalent advertising identifier.
  • The App does not use App Tracking Transparency, because it does not track you across apps and websites owned by other companies.
  • We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with data brokers.
  • We do not use personal information for targeted advertising or advertising measurement.

Apple defines "tracking" as linking user or device data collected from an app with user or device data collected from other companies' apps, websites, or offline properties for targeted advertising or advertising measurement purposes, or sharing user or device data with a data broker. Phrase Ace does neither.

The identifiers described in this policy are used for first-party analytics, account functionality, subscription entitlement, and notification delivery only. Using an analytics provider inside our own app is not cross-app tracking, and we do not describe it as such.

8. Analytics and Identity Linking

We want to be precise about this, because it is the point most privacy policies get wrong.

  • When you first install the App, analytics events are recorded against a generated device or installation identifier created by Mixpanel. At that stage the events are not associated with a named individual.
  • If you sign in, we may associate that analytics profile with your authenticated account. From that point onward, analytics data is linked to you.

As a result, Mixpanel may receive:

  • your account (user) ID
  • your email address
  • your name, where we hold one
  • the authentication provider you used (email/password, Apple, or Google)
  • your account creation date
  • your app version
  • your usage events
  • your subscription properties

We therefore do not claim that our analytics data is anonymous or "not linked to you." For signed-in users, it is linked. This information is used for first-party product analytics and app functionality — not for advertising, and not for tracking you across other companies' apps or websites.

9. On-Device Data vs. Data We Transmit

Not all data in the App leaves your device. The distinction matters, so here it is plainly:

Stored on your deviceTransmitted to our service providers
Cached lesson and phrase contentAccount details (email, name where held, account ID) → Supabase
App settings and preferencesLearning progress, streaks, favorites, and review history, where account synchronization applies → Supabase
Learning progress and favorites held locally between syncsUsage events and profile properties → Mixpanel
Session state and tokens used to keep you signed inSubscription and entitlement data → RevenueCat, Apple, Google
—Push token and basic device information → OneSignal (only if you enable notifications)

Data held only on your device is governed by your device's own security and can be removed by deleting the App. Deleting the App does not by itself delete your account or the data synchronized to your account — see Section 11.

10. Purchases and Subscriptions

Phrase Ace offers paid subscriptions. All purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play under their own terms and privacy policies. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google in accordance with their policies.

We do not receive or store your payment card number, financial account details, or billing address. We receive only the subscription information described in Section 3(d), which we use through RevenueCat to determine whether your subscription is active.

11. Data Retention and Deletion

We keep personal information for as long as your account is active, and for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy or to meet legal, accounting, or security obligations.

Deleting your account. You can delete your account from inside the App (Settings → Delete Account), or by emailing us at contactus@velastrallc.com from the address associated with your account. See our Delete Account page for step-by-step instructions.

When you delete your account, we delete your account record and the learning data associated with it — including progress, streaks, favorites, review history, and notification preferences — from our production systems, and we instruct our service providers to delete the personal information they hold on our behalf.

Please be aware of the following limits, which we state honestly rather than promising a clean erasure we cannot deliver:

  • Copies may persist in routine encrypted backups for a limited period until those backups expire on their normal schedule.
  • Our service providers delete data on their own operational timelines once we issue a deletion instruction.
  • Apple and Google retain their own records of your purchases and subscriptions under their policies. We cannot delete those.
  • We may retain limited information where we are required or permitted to do so by law, or where it is necessary to resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, or enforce our agreements.
  • Data stored only on your own device is removed when you delete the App.

Deleting the App from your device does not delete your account. Cancelling a subscription does not delete your account, and deleting your account does not automatically cancel a subscription — cancel through the App Store or Google Play as described in our Terms of Service.

12. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information, including encryption of data in transit over HTTPS/TLS, authentication and access controls on our backend, and reliance on established infrastructure providers.

No system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted over the internet or stored on any system, and we do not claim that our Services are impenetrable. We also do not claim any security certification or audit that we have not obtained.

You play a part too: use a strong, unique password, keep your device and sign-in credentials secure, and tell us promptly at contactus@velastrallc.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

13. International Data Transfers

Velastra LLC is based in the United States. Our service providers and infrastructure providers may store and process information in the United States and in other countries where they or their sub-processors operate.

If you are located outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, and processed in, countries whose data protection laws may differ from those of your own country.

Where such transfers are subject to European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Swiss data protection law, we rely on transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable law, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the equivalent UK and Swiss mechanisms, as incorporated into our agreements with our service providers. You may contact us at contactus@velastrallc.com for further information about the safeguards applicable to a specific transfer.

14. Your Choices and Controls

  • Push notifications. You can manage notifications in the App's settings and in your device settings (iOS: Settings → Notifications → Phrase Ace; Android: Settings → Apps → Phrase Ace → Notifications). Turning notifications off in your device settings stops delivery regardless of any in-App setting.
  • Marketing emails. Where the App offers a marketing-email preference, you can change it there. You can also unsubscribe using the link in any marketing email, or contact us. We will still send you necessary service and account messages.
  • Account information. You can review and update account details available in the App's settings.
  • Account deletion. You can delete your account from within the App at any time. See Section 11.
  • Requests to us. You can contact us at contactus@velastrallc.com to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or to exercise other rights available to you under applicable law. This includes asking us to stop processing your information for product analytics; we will act on such requests as described in Section 15.

To be clear about what does not exist: the App does not currently include an in-app toggle to opt out of product analytics. If you wish to object to or opt out of analytics processing, please email us at contactus@velastrallc.com and we will handle your request manually.

15. Your Privacy Rights

Privacy rights depend on where you live. The rights described below apply to the extent applicable law grants them to you. To exercise any of them, email contactus@velastrallc.com from the address associated with your account, or use the in-App controls where available. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right. We may need to verify your identity, and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

a. European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland

If the GDPR or UK GDPR applies to our processing of your information, you may have the right to access your data; to have inaccurate data corrected; to have data erased; to restrict or object to processing; to data portability; and, where processing is based on consent, to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting processing already carried out. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

Our legal bases. Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on:

  • Performance of a contract — to create and operate your account, deliver the learning features, and manage your subscription.
  • Legitimate interests — to secure the Services, prevent fraud and abuse, diagnose errors, understand how the App is used through first-party analytics, and measure our own marketing. We balance these interests against your rights and freedoms.
  • Consent — for push notifications, and for any other processing where applicable law requires consent. You may withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legal obligation — to comply with laws that apply to us.

If you object to analytics processing carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests, contact us and we will stop that processing for you unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

b. California and other United States state privacy laws

If you are a resident of California or of another United States state with a comprehensive consumer privacy law, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use and disclose it; to access or obtain a copy of it; to correct it; to delete it; and to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights. Some states also provide a right to appeal a decision on your request; if we decline a request, our response will tell you how to appeal where that right applies.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, or the equivalent provisions of other state laws. We therefore do not offer a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" mechanism, because there is nothing to opt out of. We also do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that would trigger a right to limit its use.

The categories of personal information we collect, the sources, the purposes, and the categories of recipients are set out in Sections 3 through 6 of this policy. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request where applicable law permits.

c. Other jurisdictions

If the law of your jurisdiction grants you privacy rights not listed above, contact us and we will honor those rights to the extent they apply.

16. Children's Privacy

Phrase Ace is not directed to children under 13.

Children under 13 may not use the App. Users aged 13 to 17 should use the App only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without the consent required by law, we will delete it.

Parents and guardians: if you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us at contactus@velastrallc.com and we will take steps to delete it promptly.

Because Phrase Ace contains no third-party advertising and does not track users across other companies' apps or websites, we do not use children's information for advertising purposes of any kind. Where you are located in a jurisdiction that sets a higher age of digital consent than 13, that higher age applies to processing that depends on consent.

17. Our Website

The Phrase Ace website is an informational site. It does not require an account and does not set advertising cookies.

We use Mixpanel to understand how the website is used. On the website, Mixpanel records:

  • the pages you view
  • whether you click a link to the App Store or Google Play, and where on the page that link was
  • a randomly generated identifier so that page views from the same browser can be counted as one visit
  • technical details your browser sends with every request, such as browser type, operating system, screen size, and the referring page
  • your approximate location (city, region, and country), which Mixpanel derives from your IP address when it receives an event; the IP address itself is not stored with your analytics data

The identifier is stored in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie. Website analytics are not linked to your Phrase Ace account, are not used for advertising, and are not used to track you across other companies' sites.

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, website analytics are off until you choose "Allow analytics" in the prompt shown on your first visit; declining keeps them off. To make that decision, our hosting provider looks at the country your connection appears to come from and stores only the result ("regulated" or "unregulated") in a small functional cookie for 30 days. You can change your choice at any time using the Analytics Preferences link in the site footer, or by clearing site data for phraseace.app in your browser.

Like virtually every website, it is served by a hosting provider that keeps server logs containing information such as IP address, request time, requested URL, referring URL, and browser user-agent string. These logs are used to deliver the site, diagnose problems, and protect against abuse, and are retained for a limited period under the hosting provider's standard retention practices.

The website links to the Apple App Store and Google Play. When you follow those links, Apple's or Google's own privacy policies govern what they collect.

18. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of the page. If we make material changes, we will provide additional notice through the App, by email, or on this website before the change takes effect, where applicable law requires it or where we otherwise consider it appropriate. Your continued use of the Services after an update takes effect means you have read the revised policy.
