This Privacy Policy explains how ZephyrFuture Inc. ("ZephyrFuture", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use LingoAI Keyboard and any related applications, services, and websites (collectively, the "Services").
By using the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
1. Who We Are
LingoAI Keyboard is provided by ZephyrFuture Inc. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, contact us at hey@zephyrfuture.com.
2. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to:
- The LingoAI Keyboard input method (IME) on iOS and Android.
- Any companion or host app associated with LingoAI Keyboard.
- Any websites or online pages operated by ZephyrFuture that link to this policy.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to:
- Third-party apps, websites, or services you access while using our keyboard.
- Third-party keyboards or system keyboards provided by device manufacturers.
3. Information We Collect
Our design principle is data minimization: we collect only what is needed to provide and improve language-learning and keyboard functionality.
3.1 Information you type
By default, LingoAI Keyboard processes keystrokes on your device to provide predictions, corrections, and language learning prompts. Depending on your settings, we may process text and limited metadata (such as language, word length, and input timing) to improve quality and performance.
We do not intentionally collect or store passwords, payment card numbers, or similar sensitive credentials. We also apply best-effort practices to avoid text from secure or sensitive fields designated by the operating system.
3.2 Account and profile information
If you create an account, we may collect:
- Email address or login identifier.
- Display name, avatar, or profile information you provide.
- Subscription and billing status through app marketplaces/payment providers.
- Learning preferences (native language, target language, proficiency level).
3.3 Device and usage data
- Device model, operating system version, app version, language/region settings.
- Installation or analytics identifiers.
- Crash logs, performance metrics, and feature usage patterns.
3.4 Cookies and similar technologies
On our websites, we may use cookies to remember preferences, measure traffic, and improve experience. Where required by law, we request consent for non-essential cookies.
4. How We Use Information
- Provide keyboard input, suggestions, and language-learning features.
- Improve personalization, prediction quality, and product performance.
- Maintain security, detect abuse, and protect service integrity.
- Respond to support requests and troubleshoot issues.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
5. Sensitive Information
Keyboard apps can technically access typed content. Our systems are designed to reduce risk through minimization, exclusion of secure fields where possible, and best-effort controls. For highly sensitive input, we recommend using your system keyboard.
6. Data Location, Storage, and Retention
We prioritize on-device processing whenever possible. Some features may require temporary cloud processing to fulfill user requests. We retain personal data only as long as necessary for service delivery, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and enforcement needs.
7. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal data. We may share data only in limited cases:
- With service providers (hosting, analytics, support, payment processing).
- During business transfers (merger, acquisition, financing, or asset sale).
- For legal compliance and protection of rights/safety.
- With your explicit consent.
8. International Data Transfers
Your information may be processed in the United States and other jurisdictions where we or our providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
9. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:
- Access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Request data portability where technically feasible.
- Withdraw consent where processing is consent-based.
You can exercise these rights via in-app settings (where available) or by contacting hey@zephyrfuture.com.
10. Product Controls
- Enable or disable cloud features and sync options (where available).
- Clear local learning data (for example, personal dictionary/history).
- Opt in or out of analytics/diagnostics where controls are provided.
- Switch keyboards or remove LingoAI Keyboard at any time.
11. Children's Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under 13 (or a higher local threshold where required). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children in violation of applicable law.
12. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures such as access controls, monitoring, and encryption in transit where appropriate. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
13. Third-Party Services
Our Services may include links to third-party services. We are not responsible for third-party privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When material changes are made, we will update the date above and provide notice where required by applicable law.
