Privacy Policy
Mumbo (“we”, “us”) is a talking phrasebook app, independently developed and operated by its developer. This policy explains what data the Mumbo app and the getmumbo.com website collect, why, and what your rights are.
The short version
- Your voice is processed in real time to transcribe and translate it — audio is not stored.
- Live conversations are not recorded or saved. Only the lines you star are kept, as text.
- We don't sell your data and we don't show ads.
- You can delete your account and all your data from inside the app at any time.
What we collect
- Account data — your email address, the name you give us, and your sign-in method (email/password, Sign in with Apple, or Google Sign-In). Passwords are stored hashed.
- Your phrases — the text of phrases you practice (the transcription of what you said and its translation), lines you star in a live conversation, favorites, and your drill results. This is the content of the product; it syncs so your history is where you left it.
- Settings — your language pair and app language.
- Subscription status — whether you have an active subscription, via RevenueCat and the app store you bought it from. We never see or store your card number.
- Diagnostics — basic technical logs (errors, device type, OS version) to keep the app working.
Your voice
When you speak to Mumbo, the audio is streamed to our speech-processing provider (Soniox) to be transcribed, translated, and — where the feature calls for it — spoken back. This happens in real time. We do not store the audio. In a live conversation (Talk), the other person's speech is processed the same way; conversation turns are discarded unless you star them, in which case the starred line is saved as text to your history.
Who we share data with
We share data only with the processors needed to run the service:
- Soniox — real-time speech recognition, translation, and speech synthesis.
- RevenueCat — subscription management.
- Apple and Google — sign-in and app-store payments, if you use them.
- Our hosting provider — where your account and phrase history live.
We do not sell personal data and we do not use third-party advertising or tracking.
How long we keep it
Your data is kept while your account exists. Deleting your account in the app's settings removes your account and your phrase history. Backup copies are purged on a rolling schedule shortly after.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR), you have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, and to complain to your local data-protection authority. Most of this you can do directly in the app; for anything else, email us and we'll help.
Children
Mumbo is not directed at children under 16, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
International transfers
Our processors may handle data outside your country. Where required, transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
Changes
We'll post any changes to this policy here and update the effective date. Material changes will be announced in the app.
