Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 28, 2026
The short version
Bhasha teaches conversational Bangla. We designed it to collect as little as possible. Most of your learning lives on your own device and your own private iCloud, not on our servers. We don't sell data, show ads, or track you. Simple as that.
What we collect, and why
Account (Sign in with Apple, optional)
- An Apple-provided identifier, plus your name and email if you choose to share them through Apple's sign-in
- We use this to create your account, secure cloud features, and attribute any lessons you choose to share to the Community
- Signing in is required only for cloud features (the Community and the cloud AI helper). The personal learning experience works fully without an account
Learning content you create
- Phrases, notes, favorites, and progress are stored on your device and mirrored to your own private iCloud (Apple CloudKit) for backup and cross-device sync
- This is your iCloud, not our servers. We cannot access it, and it is never used to train AI
Voice recordings (from the Hand Off feature)
- Stored on your device and in your private iCloud
- To turn a recording into a lesson, the audio may be sent briefly through our secure server to an AI transcription partner. It is processed and discarded
- Never stored on our servers, never used to train AI, never shared, and never included in Community content, analytics, or logs
Community submissions
- If, and only if, you choose to share a lesson, its text (the phrase, its meaning, and usage context) is sent to our servers, checked by moderation, and shown to other learners in the Community library
- Text only. Never your audio, your voice, or your contact details
- You can withdraw a shared lesson at any time
Bhasha Pro (if you subscribe)
- Purchases are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details
- Apple sends our server notifications about your subscription status (active or expired) so we can unlock Pro for your account, linked by an app-specific account token
Push notifications (if you enable them)
- A device token, used only to deliver notifications
AI processing partners (subprocessors)
We send these partners only the content needed for the task, for example a phrase's text, or a short voice clip for transcription, under agreements that prohibit using your content to train their models and require limited retention:
- Google (Gemini)Generates lesson text
- ElevenLabsSpeech-to-text and text-to-speech
- SupabaseHosts our backend (database, authentication, and serverless functions) in the United States
What we do NOT do
No third-party advertising. No analytics or tracking SDKs. No cross-app or cross-site tracking. We never sell or share your personal data for advertising. The app carries no tracking technologies.
Data retention and deletion
Your personal learning data stays on your device and in your iCloud until you delete it. Deleting the app removes the on-device data. To delete your account and cloud data, use Delete account and all data in the app (Profile). This deletes your server account, removes your Community contributions, and purges the copy in your iCloud.
Children's privacy
Bhasha is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your choices and rights
You can access or delete your data with the in-app tools above, or by getting in touch. You can decline to sign in and still use the core app.
Questions?
Reach out anytime through the developer chat in the app, or through eldrenlabs.com/support.
