Privacy Policy

Vernato (the "Service") is an immersive language learning platform. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the Service.

Information We Collect

• Account details such as email address, display name, and chosen language.
• Practice data including pronunciation feedback, audio recordings, and progress metrics.
• Uploaded avatars and other files you choose to store.
• Basic usage information saved in your browser via cookies and local storage.

How We Use Information

• To provide and improve the Service and personalize your learning experience.
• To store your progress and settings so you can access them across devices.
• To enable optional sharing of practice sessions when you mark them as public.

Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies to remember interface preferences such as sidebar state and to maintain your Firebase authentication session. Local storage is used to persist settings like selected language and practice cooldown timers. You can clear these at any time through your browser settings.

Third-Party Services

The Service relies on Firebase for authentication and database storage, Vercel Blob for file uploads, and Google AI models for pronunciation analysis. Flag images are loaded from flagcdn.com. These providers may process data according to their own policies.

Managing Your Data

You can review your active sessions, delete uploaded data, or remove your account by visiting the Privacy & Data section of your account settings after signing in.

Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active. Deleting your account will remove your personal data and uploaded files from our systems.
