Pocket German privacy policy

Last updated: 26 October 2026

This policy covers Pocket German: the Pocket German apps for iPhone, iPad and Android, the Pocket German web app and the Pocket German pages at pocketkorean.com/german/. Pocket German is made by the team behind Pocket Korean and is built to work without collecting personal data.

What we do not collect

• No account, sign-up or login is needed.
• We do not collect your name, e-mail address, contacts, location or device identifiers.
• We do not use advertising, advertising IDs or tracking cookies, and the apps contain no analytics SDKs.
• We do not sell or share personal data with anyone.

Data stored on your device

Your study progress, bookmarks, quiz results and settings are saved only on your own device (browser storage or app storage). Downloaded pronunciation audio is also stored on your device. We cannot see this data. You can delete it at any time by clearing the site or app data or by uninstalling the app.

Purchases

iPhone and iPad: Pocket German is a paid app bought on the App Store. Apple processes the payment, and the app has no in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Android: Pocket German is free on Google Play. Pocket German Pro (1-month or 1-year subscription, or lifetime) is bought in the app through Google Play, which processes the payment and manages subscriptions. The app only asks Google Play whether Pro is active on this device.
In both cases we never receive your payment details, and there are no ads.

Pronunciation audio

Most audio is pre-recorded and delivered as files. For some words and sentences on the website, the text (for example a German sentence) is sent from our server to Google Cloud Text-to-Speech to create the audio. Only the text being read aloud is sent — nothing about you.

Hosting and server logs

The website, web apps and audio files are delivered by Cloudflare, Inc. When you load a page or an audio file, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address and browser type to deliver the content and protect against abuse. We do not use this data to identify you and do not combine it with other data.

On the website and web apps we use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views: which pages are visited, the referring site, the country and the browser or device type. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device and does not identify individual visitors.

App stores

When you download an app, Apple or Google process data under their own privacy policies.

Children

Pocket German is suitable for all ages and do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
