Privacy Policy for Cello

Last Updated: April 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Cello collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

To provide the core learning experience, Cello collects the following types of information:

  • Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, username, and password.
  • Microphone and Audio Data: The app requires access to your device's microphone to capture your speech during interactive scenarios.
  • Gameplay and Progress Data: We save your scores, level progress, and the text transcripts of your spoken answers to show you your conversation history.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data strictly to operate and improve the Cello app:

  • Speech Recognition: The audio captured by your microphone is processed by our servers or through your device's native speech-to-text services (like Apple or Google) to convert your speech into text. We do not record raw audio files and do not store them on our servers.
  • Account Management: Your email, username, and password are used solely to secure your account and synchronize your progress across devices.
  • Progress Tracking: We store the text transcripts and scores of your conversations on our servers so you can review your past performance.

3. Third-Party Services

We use third-party services that may collect information used to identify you:

  • Google Play Services / Apple: For native speech-to-text processing and app delivery.
  • App Stores: If you purchase a premium module or subscription, the transaction is handled entirely by Apple or Google Play. Cello does not collect or store your credit card information.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information. Your account passwords are encrypted, and all communication between the app and our servers is secured.

5. Data Deletion

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data. You can request the deletion of your account and all associated progress data by contacting us directly.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
