Lingua Pairs

Lingua Pairs is an Android memory card game for learning vocabulary in several languages, made by Kalmarium Services BV, the Netherlands ("we").

What the app stores

Your settings, stars, daily streak and the words you have matched and any flashcard decks you import (for example from Anki) are stored only on your device. There is no account and no sign-up, and none of this is sent to us. Uninstalling the app removes it.

The free version shows a banner ad from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google and its partners may collect and process your advertising ID, IP address (which gives an approximate location), device information and ad interactions. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland the app asks for your consent before any ad is requested, and you can change your choice at any time under Settings, Privacy choices. More about how Google uses data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

The one-time ad-free purchase removes all ads, and with them all ad-related data collection in the app.

Playing with friends

When you play online, the name you choose, the words of the board and the language pair of the table (for example German and English) are sent to our game server (Microsoft Azure, EU) so the other players at your table can see them. The server keeps them in memory only while the table is open; nothing is stored, and no account is needed. Your internet address is used briefly to limit abuse and is not stored.

Purchases

The ad-free purchase is handled by Google Play Billing. We receive no payment details. Google Play tells the app only whether your Google account owns the purchase.

Speech

Words are spoken by the text-to-speech engine already installed on your device. The app sends no audio and no text to us.

Photos

All word photos are bundled inside the app. They come from Wikimedia Commons under free licences; the credits are listed in the app under Settings, Photo credits.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete personal data and to object to processing. Because we hold no personal data about you ourselves, requests about advertising data are handled by Google; you can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings.
