Coursi Privacy Policy
At Coursi, privacy is built directly into our architecture. All your audio recordings, flashcards, and study materials stay exclusively on your personal device.
100% On-Device
All audio recordings and flashcards remain locally on your phone.
Zero Data Selling
We never sell, broker, or transmit your audio or personal files.
Secure Purchases
In-app purchases handled securely through Apple, Google, & RevenueCat.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy applies to the Coursi mobile application (the “App”), developed and operated by Lancer Learning Communities (“we”, “us”, or “our”). Coursi is designed to help language learners record their language tutors or teachers and create customized audio flashcards to accelerate comprehension and retention.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. Our foundational design principle is simple: your personal learning materials and voice recordings belong to you and remain on your device.
2. Information We Do Not Collect (On-Device Architecture)
Unlike many modern cloud apps, Coursi is built with local-first architecture:
- Audio Recordings & Tutor Sessions: Any audio captured through the app is saved locally in the private sandbox directory of your device. It is never uploaded to our servers, stored in cloud buckets, or reviewed by us.
- Flashcards & Study Content: Any card metadata, tags, text, or progress scores you create are stored exclusively on your device storage.
- Personal Identity: We do not require you to create an account, register your email address, or link social media profiles to use the core features of Coursi.
3. Device Permissions
To provide its core functionality, Coursi may request the following device permissions:
Microphone Permission
Used solely when you actively initiate an audio recording of your tutor, lesson, or yourself. Microphone access only occurs when the app is actively recording at your direction.
Local Storage / File Access
Used strictly to read and write your audio clips and flashcard database within the app’s isolated sandbox container.
4. In-App Purchases and Third-Party Payment Processing (RevenueCat)
Coursi may offer optional premium features, subscription plans, or one-time unlock purchases. Payments are processed directly through:
- Apple App Store: For purchases made on iOS/iPadOS devices.
- Google Play Store: For purchases made on Android devices.
We never collect, process, or store your credit card numbers, billing addresses, or payment credentials.
To manage, validate, and restore in-app subscriptions across your devices, we use RevenueCat(RevenueCat, Inc.). RevenueCat processes purchase receipts and generates an anonymous App User ID. The data transmitted to RevenueCat is limited to:
- An anonymous identifier generated for your app install
- Store receipt and transaction details (product ID, purchase timestamp, subscription status)
- Basic device metadata (device model, operating system version, app version)
For more information on how RevenueCat processes purchase data, please review the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
5. Advertising and Analytics
Coursi contains no third-party advertising SDKs, no cross-app ad tracking, and no commercial data brokers. We do not track your activity across other apps or websites.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
Because all audio flashcards and recordings are saved locally on your device:
- You can delete individual recordings or flashcard decks at any time directly within the app.
- Uninstalling the Coursi application permanently erases all locally stored audio recordings, cards, and data from your device (unless backed up by your operating system’s personal device backup, e.g., iCloud Backup or Google Drive).
- Because we do not store your recordings on our servers, we have no copies of your audio to access, retrieve, or delete.
7. Children’s Privacy
Coursi is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions such as the EEA/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can investigate and address it immediately.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective” or “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
