VerbBoard is a verb conjugation and practice app. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.
Data linked to your account
When you sign in with Google, we store:
- Your Google account email address
- Your display name
- Your profile picture URL
- Your learning progress: which verbs you have seen and marked as known, your spaced-review schedule, and your practice badges, plus simple counts from the fill-in-the-form practice (rounds started and finished, answers given and how many were right)
- Audio problem reports you submit (which clip, the reason, and an optional short note)
This data is stored in Google Firestore and is used to sync your progress across devices and to fix audio problems. We do not sell it or use it for advertising.
Usage data
We keep one usage record per visitor per day, for performance monitoring and to understand how the app is used:
- Language being studied and UI language
- Device type (mobile / desktop / installed app)
- The site you came from (referrer), and which main features you used (for example, viewed a verb, started a practice session)
The record is identified by a one-way hash of your network address, browser type and the date; we do not store your IP address in it. If you sign in, that day's record is linked to your account, and it is removed when you delete your account.
Searches
When you search for a verb we don't have, we store the search text (without your account) to decide which verbs to add. To translate a search or generate a missing verb, the search text is sent to AI services (Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude). No account information is sent.
Feedback
If you submit feedback via the 💬 form, the text you write is stored. Ordinary feedback is not linked to your account. If you give an email address so we can reply, it is stored with the feedback.
If you request Plus access, we store your account email, the language you asked for and when you asked, so we can grant access. Plus requests are linked to your account and are deleted when you delete your account.
Third-party services
- Google Sign-In (Firebase Auth) — handles authentication. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google Gemini (Vertex AI) and Anthropic Claude — used to translate searches and to generate verb data, examples and translations. They receive only the verb or search text, not your account or progress.
- Google Cloud — data is stored on Google Cloud infrastructure (Firestore, Cloud Run) in the US.
- Microsoft Edge text-to-speech (neural voices) — audio is generated from verb forms and example sentences and cached. No user data is sent to TTS.
Data deletion
If you've signed in with Google, use the button below to permanently delete your account, progress, practice data and usage records (server and local) immediately. Audio problem reports are kept so that fixes stay valid for other learners.
Children
VerbBoard is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the effective date above.
