Privacy policy

Last updated: October 27, 2026

In short

  • The ChavaleteWords app does not collect, send or share any personal data.
  • Your words stay on your phone. The app works without internet.
  • The app has no ads, no analytics and no user accounts.
  • The app does not use your location, contacts, camera or microphone.

Who we are

ChavaleteWorld is a small independent project by Fredy Alexander Adarve Escalante, based in Medellín, Colombia. It includes the ChavaleteWords app for Android, the ChavaleteSpanish and ChavaleteEnglish courses, and this website. If you have any question about this policy, write to chavaleteworld@gmail.com.

The ChavaleteWords app

Everything you add to the app (words, phrases, meanings, pronunciations, notes, folders and your practice progress) is saved only on your phone, in the app's private storage. Your settings, such as the app language, the language you are learning and the timer, are saved there too.

The app does not connect to the internet, so none of this information is sent to us or to anyone else. We cannot see your words or your progress.

The app does not include advertising, analytics, tracking tools or user accounts.

Backup and Excel export

The app lets you create a backup file or export your words to a .csv file. These files are created only when you choose to, and you decide where to save them or who to share them with. Once a file leaves the app, it is under your control.

On Android 12 and older, your phone may ask you to allow storage access when you save or load one of these files. The app uses this access only for the file you choose. On newer versions of Android this permission is not needed.

Deleting your data

You can delete words and folders inside the app at any time. Uninstalling the app, or clearing its data in your phone's settings, permanently removes everything the app stored on your phone. Backup files you saved elsewhere are not affected.

Activation of the app included with the course

The copy of the app that comes with a course bought on this website is activated once on each phone. When you open it, the app shows a short code for your phone, like K7Q2-M9XD. The app creates this code on your phone from an identifier that Android gives to the app; the code does not reveal that identifier and the app does not send it anywhere.

To get your activation code, you enter that phone code, your purchase email and your transaction code on our activation page, or you send them to us by email. We keep them with your purchase record only to deliver your activation code, to send it again if you reinstall the app, and to prevent one purchase from being used on many phones. You can ask us to delete this record at any time by writing to chavaleteworld@gmail.com.

The version of the app on Google Play does not use activation codes.

Purchases

When the app is available on Google Play, it will be bought through Google Play. Payments are processed by Google under the Google Privacy Policy; we do not receive your card details.

Courses bought on this website are paid through Hotmart, which processes your payment under its own privacy policy. To deliver your purchase, we receive the name, email address and transaction code of your purchase. We use them only to send you the course, to activate the app and to answer your questions about your purchase. We do not sell or share them.

This website

This website does not use cookies for tracking or advertising. It saves your language choice (English or Spanish) in your browser so the page opens in the same language next time; this stays on your device.

The website is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as your IP address to deliver the pages and protect the site, as described in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

The website loads its fonts from Google Fonts. When it does, your browser connects to Google's servers, which may receive technical information such as your IP address, as described in the Google Privacy Policy.

Children

The app does not collect personal data from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If the app or the website changes in a way that affects your privacy, we will update this page and the date at the top.
