Privacy Policy for the Fala Prototype

Last updated: 29 September 2026

This policy describes the current Fala Android prototype, provided through Google Play testing. It is designed as a local-first learning app: it does not require a Fala account, display advertising, or use analytics. Your learning data stays on your device unless your device backup settings copy it to a backup you control.

Prototype scope

Fala is in active development. The final product may add or change features, including account, backup, or community features. Before any such feature is released, this policy will be updated to explain the relevant data practices.

Who this policy applies to

This policy applies to the Fala Android prototype and related testing, feedback, and support correspondence and is provided by TYMER OÜ, operating as Tymer Studios ("Tymer Studios", "we", "us", or "our").

Testing, feedback, and support

Open-test enrolment is handled by Google Play using your Google account under Google's privacy policy. You do not need to email us your account address or wait for manual approval to join the open test. Joining does not create a Fala account or upload your learning progress to Tymer Studios.

If you email feedback or a support request, we receive your email address and the contents of your message. We use this information to respond and investigate the issue you report. Correspondence is handled through our email service, outside the app, and does not subscribe you to marketing. Do not send passwords or other account credentials.

If you previously requested closed-test access, we may still hold your correspondence and the account address you supplied for the Google Play tester list. Those records were used to administer access, not for automatic marketing signup. You can contact us to request removal from that list or deletion of your correspondence.

Information stored on your device

Fala stores the information needed to provide learning features locally on your device. This can include your selected course, lesson and review progress, achievements, learning settings, reminder preference and time, sound-effects preference, and the app's default local profile label.

Fala does not create a cloud account or upload this local learning data to Tymer Studios.

Notifications

Practice reminders are optional and are off by default. If you turn them on, Fala asks Android for notification permission and stores your chosen reminder time on your device. Android uses this setting to schedule a local reminder. You can turn reminders off at any time in Settings.

Purchases

Fala may offer an optional subscription through Google Play. Purchases, payment information, and subscription management are handled by Google Play under its own privacy policy. Fala queries Google Play to determine whether an active subscription is available. Tymer Studios does not receive or store your payment-card information.

Internet access and external links

Fala uses internet access for Google Play Billing. When you choose to open a trusted resource, website, or email link from Fala, Android opens the destination outside the app. That website or email service handles information according to its own privacy policy.

Information we do not collect

Fala does not collect or use:

• names, email addresses, phone numbers, or account credentials through the app;
• location, contacts, photos, camera input, microphone input, or device advertising identifiers;
• advertising, behavioural tracking, or third-party analytics; or
• user-generated audio recordings.

Data sharing

Tymer Studios does not sell, rent, or share Fala's local learning data. Google Play handles test enrolment and processes purchase-related information when you use its billing service. Our handling of feedback, support emails, and previous closed-test requests is described above; external websites and email services also apply their own privacy policies.

Retention and deletion

Your app data remains on your device until you clear Fala's app storage or uninstall the app. If you enable Android or Google device backups, local app data may be included in a backup controlled by your device and account settings. Because Fala does not hold a cloud account or a copy of your learning data, there is no separate account or server-side learning record for us to delete.

Children's privacy

The app does not collect personal information from children or adults. Information voluntarily sent by email is handled as described above. Parents and guardians should supervise a child's use of external websites opened from the app and any testing enrolment or support correspondence.

Changes to this policy

We will update this policy before releasing final-product features that change how Fala handles data. The current version will remain available at this address with a revised effective date.
