Privacy Policy

When you use Gabfest, we collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, and profile details during account creation. We also collect usage data including conversation logs (text and voice), grammar test responses, learning progress, session duration, and feature interactions. Additionally, we collect device information such as device type, operating system, app version, and general location (country/region) to optimise your experience.

We use your information to deliver and personalise the Gabfest learning experience, including AI-powered conversations, grammar feedback, pronunciation analysis, and progress tracking. Your conversation and test data helps our AI provide more accurate corrections and adapt to your proficiency level. We may also use aggregated, anonymised data to improve our AI models, develop new features, and enhance overall app performance. We use your contact information to send important service updates and, with your consent, learning tips and product announcements.

Gabfest processes voice and text conversations to provide real-time feedback on pronunciation, fluency, grammar, and vocabulary. Voice data is processed in real time and is not stored as audio recordings on our servers. Text conversations are retained to maintain conversation history and improve AI response quality. You can delete your conversation history at any time from your account settings.

We take the security of your data seriously. All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard TLS encryption. Your account is protected with secure token-based authentication with automatic refresh. We store data on secure, access-controlled servers and conduct regular security audits. We retain your personal data only for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. You may request deletion of your data at any time.

We use trusted third-party services to support Gabfest, including authentication providers (Google Sign-In, phone OTP verification), cloud infrastructure for data processing and storage, and analytics tools to understand app usage patterns. These providers are bound by their own privacy policies and data protection obligations. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing or advertising purposes.

Gabfest is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. You can request a copy of all data we hold about you (data export). You may withdraw consent for optional data processing (such as marketing communications) at any time. You can also request that we restrict or stop processing your data in certain circumstances. We will respond to all valid requests within 30 days.

Gabfest uses minimal cookies and local storage to maintain your authentication session, remember your preferences (such as theme and language settings), and ensure the app functions correctly. We do not use cookies for advertising or third-party tracking. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser or device settings.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through the app or via email. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of Gabfest after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, please contact us at info@varaisys.com. Our team is committed to addressing your privacy concerns promptly and transparently.
