Privacy policy

Who is responsible

Sprachpfad is operated by Rohan Kumar Singh, who is responsible for the personal data used by this learning website. For privacy questions or requests, email rohank.singh2002@gmail.com. This policy covers the Sprachpfad website at sprachpfad-learn-deutsch.pages.dev.

Information used by the website

• Without an account: your learning progress and preferences are saved in this browser. A temporary browser setting remembers your choice to continue as a guest. Guest progress does not automatically sync to another device.
• With Google sign-in: Google provides an account identifier, email address and basic profile information, which may include your name and profile picture. Supabase stores this identity information and manages your sign-in session. Sprachpfad displays your name and email in your profile. It does not receive your Google password or request access to Gmail, Drive, Calendar or contacts.
• Account progress: lesson completion and scores, known words, review dates, practice activity, test results, selected level, study plans and practice checklist records are saved under your account identifier. Save timestamps and revision information help detect competing changes.
• Support: if you email the operator, the information you include is used to answer your request. Please do not send passwords or sign-in codes.
• Connection information: the providers delivering the website and sign-in service receive information such as your IP address, browser information, request times and requested resources to deliver and protect their services.

Why information is used

Account information identifies the correct learner, restores a session and keeps each account's progress separate. Learning records provide the progress, review and planning features you choose. Connection and support information helps deliver the website, diagnose problems and prevent misuse.

Sprachpfad does not sell Google account data or learning records, use them for targeted advertising, or use them to train AI models. The application does not make automated decisions about admission, employment or official qualifications.

Where European data-protection law applies, information needed to provide requested account and learning features is processed to provide that service. Basic service security and responding to enquiries rely on legitimate interests in operating and protecting the website. Where consent is legally required, it must be obtained before that processing. Google controls the consent step for sharing its account information.

Services involved

• Cloudflare Pages hosts and delivers the website and audio files. Cloudflare processes network requests to serve and protect the site. See Cloudflare's privacy information.
• Supabase provides authentication and the account-progress database. The project's database region is Ireland. The operator can access account records for administration and support; other learners cannot read your private account progress. See Supabase's privacy information and data processing terms.
• Google supplies optional sign-in and the learning application's fonts. Loading Google-hosted fonts sends a resource request to Google even when you do not sign in. See Google's privacy policy.
• jsDelivr delivers the learning application's animation libraries. Your browser sends resource requests to its delivery network. See jsDelivr's privacy information.

Some providers operate internationally, so service information may be processed outside your country, including outside the European Economic Area. Their applicable processing terms explain the safeguards they use. The database location does not mean every service request remains in Ireland.

Most lesson audio is served as a recording. When a recording is unavailable, your browser's speech service may speak the displayed German text. Whether that voice runs locally or uses a network service depends on your browser and device. Sprachpfad does not record your microphone.

Links to external learning resources take you to services with their own privacy practices.

Browser storage and retention

The learning application uses local storage for guest progress, a cached copy of account progress and the sign-in session. Session storage supports the guest choice and sign-in return flow. These are functional features; the application code does not include advertising or analytics trackers.

Guest progress remains until you reset it or clear the site's browser data. Account information and saved progress remain while your account exists, unless you request deletion. There is currently no automatic deletion schedule for inactive accounts. Providers may retain operational logs and backups according to their service settings and legal obligations.

Signing out ends the local session. A synced account cache is removed; an unsynced copy can remain on that device for recovery. Resetting progress does not delete your sign-in account. Clearing browser data alone does not delete the account's server copy.

Your choices and requests

• Use Continue on this device if you do not want to create an account.
• Use Download progress on your profile to export your learning records.
• Use Reset progress to clear the active learning save, after reviewing the confirmation.
• Request access, correction or account deletion by emailing the contact above from the account email where possible. The operator may need to verify that a request concerns your own account.
• You can remove Sprachpfad's Google connection in your Google Account connections. Removing that connection does not itself delete records already held by Sprachpfad.

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may also have rights to restrict processing, object, receive a portable copy, withdraw consent for processing based on consent, and complain to your data-protection authority. Withdrawing consent does not undo earlier lawful processing.

Updates

This page will be updated if the website's data practices change. Any new use of Google data requiring consent will be explained before it starts.
