What we keep, and why.

Last updated 31 May 2026.

What we collect

When you join the waitlist, we collect the email address you type into the form, plus the section of the page you submitted from (so we can tell which message resonated). That's it. We don't collect your name, location, IP address, or anything you didn't choose to give us.

What we do with it

We'll send you one email when Afri-Speak launches on the App Store, and occasionally a short note before launch with a meaningful update. Nothing else. No daily digests, no marketing from third parties, no sharing your address.

Where it lives

We use a small set of services to run this site:

  • Loops stores your email so we can send the launch announcement.
  • PostHog is a product analytics tool. We run it in cookieless mode, so it counts page visits without using cookies, local storage, or tracking individuals.
  • Netlify hosts the site itself.

The Afri-Speak app

The Afri-Speak iOS app keeps your learning on your device. Your progress (vocab cards, game history, streaks) is stored locally on your phone and is never sent to us or anyone else. There is no account to create and no login, so we hold no profile for you.

During this early testing period the app does not collect usage analytics. If we add analytics in a later version to understand which features help people learn, we'll update this notice and the date above before that version ships.

AI tutoring features (preview)

When Afri-Speak ships, some learning features will use a custom AI model to explain a missed word or suggest a similar one. When that runs, the only thing we send is the word or short phrase the feature is about, never your email, name, or any identifier we hold. We don't use what you send to train models, and we don't retain it on our side beyond the seconds it takes to return an answer.

You'll be able to turn AI features off in the app settings. If you prefer not to use them at all, everything else (vocab cards, games, progress tracking) still works without ever calling the model.

AI features are not yet live on the marketing site. This section describes the approach we'll use when the in-app features launch; we'll refresh the wording once they ship, and the date at the top will move.

Cookies

We don't set any cookies of our own. PostHog runs in cookieless mode, so it stores nothing in cookies or local storage. That means no cookie banner, no consent dance, no tracking across other sites.

Removing yourself

Contact us and we'll delete your email from our list within a few days. No questions, no friction.

Children

The waitlist isn't designed for under-13s. If a child signed up by accident, email us and we'll remove the record.

Changes to this notice

If we change anything material, we'll update this page and note the new date at the top. The current version is the one that applies.
