Who this policy covers
This policy applies to the Curioo mobile application (“Curioo”, “the app”) published by Corentin Settelen, and to the website curiooapp.com. It explains what the app does and does not collect, why, and what you can do about it.
Questions are answered at teamdev@curiooapp.com.
What stays on your device
Curioo works without an account. Everything below is written to your device’s local storage and is not transmitted to us:
- Your expressions read, favourites, and search history inside the app.
- Your XP, level, badges, streak and per-game progress.
- Your preferences: interface language, theme, wallpaper, app icon, and the time of your daily reminder.
Deleting the app deletes this data. We have no copy of it and therefore cannot restore it for you.
What leaves your device
Curioo contacts three services, and only these three:
- Our content delivery network (
cdn.idiom-y.app) — to download the illustration and the pronunciation audio of an expression when you open it. Serving a file necessarily involves your IP address and a standard request log, used to run and secure the service, never to build a profile of you. - RevenueCat — only if you open the subscription screen or make a purchase. RevenueCat manages subscription status on our behalf and receives an anonymous identifier plus the receipt data Apple or Google provides, never your name or email address. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy.
- Apple or Google, depending on your phone — payment, subscription management and, if you choose to leave one, store ratings. We never see your payment details.
What Curioo does not do
- No advertising, and no advertising identifier is read.
- No third-party analytics or attribution SDK is bundled in the app.
- No tracking across other apps or websites, so no App Tracking Transparency prompt.
- No sale or sharing of personal data, in the sense given to those terms by the CCPA/CPRA.
- No account, no email collection inside the app, no contacts, photos, microphone or location access.
Notifications
If you enable the daily reminder, Curioo schedules a local notification at the time you pick. It is generated on the device itself — no push server is involved and no device token is sent to us. You can withdraw the permission at any time in your phone’s settings, or turn the reminder off inside the app.
Widgets
The home-screen and lock-screen widgets read the expression of the day from a shared container on your device. They transmit nothing.
This website
curiooapp.com sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads no third-party resources: fonts and images are served from our own server. Like any web server, our host briefly keeps a technical request log (IP address, page requested, time) to keep the service secure.
Download links. When you tap a link such as curiooapp.com/dl (for example /dl1 or /dl-insta), we record the click to learn which links work: the link name, the time, the kind of device (iPhone, Android or computer), the browser language, the page you came from and its browser identification. No IP address, no cookie, no identifier: these clicks cannot tell us who you are. The link name is passed to the App Store or Google Play as a campaign name, so they can report how many installs each link produced, as totals.
Children
Curioo is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. Since the app requires no account and collects no personal identifiers, it holds nothing to delete — but if you believe a child’s data has nonetheless reached us, write to us and we will look into it.
Your rights
Under the GDPR and comparable laws you have the right to access, correct, delete, and port your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority (in France, the CNIL).
In practice, because Curioo holds no account and no identifier that points back to you, the data those rights apply to is the data on your own device. You exercise them directly: clear the app’s data, or uninstall it. For anything RevenueCat holds about a purchase, contact us and we will forward the request.
Data retention
On-device data lives until you delete it. CDN and website request logs are kept for a short technical window and then discarded; download-link clicks, which hold nothing identifying, for at most 24 months. Subscription records are retained by RevenueCat, Apple and Google for as long as their own terms and the applicable accounting rules require.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a way that affects you, the date at the top of this page changes with it and the new version is published here before it takes effect.
