Privacy

Last updated: November 9, 2026

Vokabel (vokabel.com and the Vokabel app for iPhone) is a free personal project for practising vocabulary. It has no accounts, no ads and no tracking, and it does not sell or share personal information.

What the website and app send

• Answer statistics. When you answer a word in a vokabel.com test, the site or app sends which test and word it was, the two languages, and whether the answer was right. These are added to anonymous daily totals (the "All learners" column). Nothing that identifies you is stored with them.
• Server logs and site statistics. Like most websites, the server that hosts vokabel.com (Microsoft Azure) records technical information about requests, such as the page requested, the time, the browser type and the country it came from. Microsoft Application Insights works out the country from the internet (IP) address and does not keep the address itself. This is used only to keep the site running and to see how much it is used.
• Visitor count. To count how many people visit each day, the website gives your browser a random number that it keeps for one day and then replaces with a new one. It is stored in the browser (not as a cookie), contains nothing about you, and cannot be used to recognise you on another day. If your browser is set to "Do Not Track", the website does not count you at all. The iPhone app does not use this.

What stays on your device

• Tests you create yourself ("Create a Test") are kept only on your device, in the app or in the file you download. They are not sent to vokabel.com.
• Your settings, such as the chosen languages or "read words aloud", are stored on your device only.
• Reading words aloud uses your device's own voices.

Donations

If you choose to donate, you do so on PayPal's own website. Vokabel never sees your payment details; PayPal's privacy policy applies there.

Children

Vokabel collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
