**Privacy Policy for SwearingJar**



Last Updated: July 26, 2025



SwearingJar LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates the SwearingJar mobile application (the "App") and its associated website (the "Website"). This Privacy Policy describes how information is collected, used, processed, and shared when the Services are used. The importance of user privacy is understood, and a commitment is made to protect it.



**1. Information We Collect**



When you use SwearingJar, the following types of information are collected:



*   **Audio Data:** To provide the core functionality of detecting specific words, the App accesses the device's microphone and processes audio locally. Raw audio recordings are not stored or transmitted off the device. Instead, the App performs speech recognition to identify swear words.

*   **Word Count Data:** When a swear word is detected, the App may locally store a count of detected swear words and the date/time of detection to allow you to track progress and set personal goals.

*   **User Account Information:** If you choose to create an account, your email address and a password may be collected. This information is used for account creation, login, and to potentially sync your progress across devices if you enable this feature.

*   **Device Information:** Technical information about the device, such as device type, operating system version, and unique device identifiers, may be collected to ensure the App functions correctly and to help troubleshoot issues.

*   **Usage Data:** Anonymous and aggregated data about how the App is used (e.g., features used, session duration) may be collected. This information is used to improve the App's functionality and user experience, {Link: says Condé Nast https://www.condenast.com/privacy-policy}.



**2. How We Use Your Information**



The information collected is used for the following purposes:



*   **To provide the SwearingJar service:** This includes processing audio to detect swear words and locally tracking your progress.

*   **To improve and develop the App:** Usage data is used to understand how the App is used and to make improvements.

*   **For account management:** If you create an account, information is used to manage your account and provide account-related services.

*   **To comply with legal obligations:** Information may be processed to meet legal and regulatory requirements.



**3. Data Storage and Security**



*   **Audio Data:** Raw audio data is processed locally on the device and is not stored or transmitted.

*   **Word Count Data:** This data is stored locally on the device and is only synced if you choose to create an account and enable synchronization.

*   **User Account Information:** Your email address and password (stored securely as a hash) are stored on our servers. Industry-standard security measures are used to protect your information, including encryption and access controls, {Link: according to TermsFeed https://www.termsfeed.com/blog/sample-privacy-policy-template/}.

*   While we strive to protect personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, its absolute security cannot be guaranteed, {Link: notes Beazley https://www.beazley.com/globalassets/cyber/documents/sample_website_privacy_policy_1806.pdf}.



**4. Data Sharing and Disclosure**



*   Personal information is not sold or rented to third parties.

*   Anonymized and aggregated usage data may be shared with third-party service providers for analytics and app improvement purposes.

*   Information may be disclosed if required by law or in response to a valid legal request (e.g., subpoena or court order), {Link: says Sergei Tokmakov, Esq. https://terms.law/2023/07/26/privacy-policy-for-a-booking-app-template-guide/}.

*   In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, which would be bound by this Privacy Policy.



**5. Your Choices and Rights**



*   You can choose not to create an account, in which case some features (like synchronization) may not be available.

*   You can manage permissions for your device's microphone through your device settings.

*   You have the right to access, rectify, or delete your personal information held, subject to applicable laws. Contact us using the information below to exercise these rights.

SwearingJar is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If it becomes known that personal information has been collected from a child under 13, steps will be taken to delete that information, {Link: according to TermsFeed https://www.termsfeed.com/blog/sample-privacy-policy-template/}.
