Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 22, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how TanTan (“we”, “us”) handles information when you use our mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).
Information we collect
We may collect the following, depending on how you use the Services:
- Account and profile data you provide, such as an email address or display name, if you create an account.
- Usage and device data such as app version, device type, and coarse diagnostics to keep the app reliable and secure.
- Audio and learning activity you submit through features such as practice and dictation, so we can provide feedback and improve the experience. We process this in line with the permissions you grant in the app.
How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Services.
- Personalize your learning experience and pronunciation feedback.
- Communicate with you about updates, support, or (where allowed) product information.
- Monitor and protect against abuse, fraud, and security issues.
- Comply with law and enforce our Terms of Service.
Legal bases (where applicable)
If you are in a region that requires a legal basis (for example, the EEA or UK), we process personal data on grounds such as performance of a contract, legitimate interests (e.g. securing our Services), and, where we ask, consent (e.g. optional analytics or marketing).
Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:
- Service providers who assist us (e.g. hosting, infrastructure, or analytics) under strict confidentiality and data-processing terms.
- Authorities when required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and TanTan.
Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, for legitimate business needs, and as required by law. Audio or learning data may be deleted or de-identified according to in-app settings and our internal retention policies.
Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, and to object or restrict certain processing. You can contact us to exercise these rights. You may also be able to adjust permissions in your device or app settings (e.g. microphone access).
Children
The Services are not directed to children under the age where parental consent is required in your country without such consent. If you believe we have collected a child’s information improperly, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
International transfers
If we process data in countries other than where you live, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) where required.
Contact
Questions about this policy? Reach us at the contact options listed on our site (e.g. Contact in the app or footer) or at the support email you use for TanTan.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the app or by email. Continued use of the Services after changes means you accept the updated policy, to the extent permitted by law.
