Privacy Policy

1. The Short Version

Voco doesn't have accounts, doesn't run analytics or tracking scripts, and doesn't have a database. Nearly everything about how you use the app stays on your own device. The only data that leaves your device goes to Stripe, and only if you subscribe.

2. No Accounts, No Server-Side Storage

There's no sign-up, login, or user profile. We don't collect your name, email, or any personal information just to use the free content. Your study progress — which words you've studied, quiz scores, streaks, and spaced-repetition scheduling — is stored only in your browser's local storage (localStorage) on your device. We have no access to it, no copy of it, and no way to see it.

3. Subscribing (Paid Categories)

If you subscribe to unlock the other 5 categories, checkout is handled entirely by Stripe, our payment processor. Stripe collects your email and payment details directly — we never see or store your card number.

What we do receive from Stripe is a customer ID and your subscription status (trialing, active, or inactive), which the app uses on your device to decide whether to unlock paid content. We don't receive your billing address, full card details, or other information Stripe collects on its own checkout page. See Stripe's privacy policy for how they handle that.

4. Cookies & Tracking

Voco doesn't use tracking cookies, analytics scripts, or third-party ad networks. We have no visibility into how you use the app beyond what's technically necessary to serve the pages.

5. Third Parties We Use

Stripe — payment processing for subscriptions.

Our hosting provider — serves the app's pages; standard web server logs may briefly record IP addresses and request info as part of normal hosting operation, not something we access or use.

We don't sell or share data with anyone else, because we don't have data to sell.

6. Children's Privacy

Voco is a study tool aimed at students preparing for the SAT, many of whom are minors. Because we don't collect personal information for the free content, there's nothing for us to knowingly collect from children under 13. Subscribing requires a payment method, which Stripe's own terms require the account holder to be able to legally provide.

7. Your Choices

You can clear your progress at any time using the "Reset progress on this device" button on the home screen, or by clearing your browser's site data for Voco directly. Since we don't store anything server-side, there's nothing further for us to delete on our end beyond what Stripe retains for billing/tax purposes.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
