1. Who we are

CamLingo (“we”, “us”) is operated by Kubra Ustuntas. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal data when you use the CamLingo mobile application. Contact: lyft5101@gmail.com.

2. Data we collect

Account data: email address and authentication identifiers when you sign in with email, Google, or Apple. Profile data: first name, nickname, profile photo, age (derived from date of birth), native and practice languages, level, bio/status, and privacy preferences. Usage data: matching and online/availability status, call duration for daily quotas, learn/SRS progress, chat messages you send (text, photos, voice notes, documents), friend connections, blocks and reports. Device & permissions: camera and microphone (only when you join a call or record), photo library (when you pick a profile or chat image), speech recognition (AI Partner), notification tokens for push alerts, and basic technical logs (e.g. crash diagnostics via Firebase Crashlytics when configured). Purchases: App Store / Google Play subscription or purchase receipts needed to unlock CamLingo Plus or other paid features (processed by the store; we store entitlement status). On-device only: full date of birth and last name may remain on your device for age verification / local profile and are not required on our servers.

3. Why we use data

To create and secure your account; match you with practice partners; provide voice/video calls (WebRTC), chat, learning tools, and AI Partner; enforce safety (blocks, reports, bans); apply free/Plus quotas; send optional push notifications; improve reliability (crash reports); and comply with law.

4. Legal bases (where GDPR/UK GDPR apply)

We process data based on: contract (providing the service you request); consent (e.g. optional permissions); legitimate interests (safety, fraud prevention, product improvement); and legal obligation when required.

5. Sharing

Other users may see basic profile information you choose to show (e.g. nickname, photo, languages, level, online/availability) for matching, Discover, and friends features. Call media is transmitted peer-to-peer or via our TURN relay for connectivity and is not stored as call recordings by us. Service providers process data only to run CamLingo: cloud backend (Supabase), push/crash services (e.g. Firebase when enabled), and app stores for payments. We do not sell your personal data. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect users’ safety and rights.

6. International transfers

Servers and providers may be located in different countries. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

7. Retention and security

Chat messages and chat media (photos, voice notes, documents) are automatically deleted after about 7 days. Account, profile, and safety records are kept while your account is active and as needed for legal duties. After account deletion, we remove or anonymize personal data within a reasonable period, except where law requires longer retention. We apply reasonable technical and organizational security measures; no system is 100% secure.

8. Your rights

Depending on your region, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing, and to data portability. You can delete your account in the app (Settings / Profile). For privacy requests email lyft5101@gmail.com. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

9. Children

CamLingo is for users 18 years and older. We ask for date of birth at registration. If we learn an account belongs to someone under 18, we close it and delete associated personal data.

10. Third-party sign-in

If you use Google or Apple Sign-In, those providers share limited account information with us according to their policies and your choices. Review Google’s and Apple’s privacy policies as well.

11. Changes

We may update this Policy. The “Last updated” date will change, and material updates may be shown in the app. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Policy.
