Praktika – AI Language Tutor

"We and our third-party advertising partners use Personal Data about your use of the Service to measure and optimise the performance of our online advertising campaigns. We and our third-party vendors use cookies and other trackers (such as mobile SDKs) to recognise your Device and identify whether you have downloaded our Application or subscribed to our Service after viewing an advert for the Service on another platform or website."

The app uses mobile SDKs from Google Ads, Facebook, AdRoll, AppNexus, and TikTok that collect data directly from the user's device for advertising purposes.

"We may share information, such as hashed email addresses (if available) or other online identifiers collected on our Service with these third-party vendors. This allows our third-party vendors to recognize and deliver you ads across devices and browsers. To read more about the technologies used by these third-party vendors and their cross-device capabilities please refer to the Privacy Policy of each vendor listed below."

Praktika shares hashed emails and online identifiers with ad networks specifically to enable cross-device and cross-browser tracking and ad targeting.

"Category G: Geolocation data. Examples: Approximate physical location. Collected: Yes. ... Information about how you use the Service, such as the time you access the Service and how long you access it for, the approximate location that you access the Service from."

The app collects geolocation data including approximate physical location, and IP-based location information when users access the service.

"Category H: Sensory data. Examples: Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information. Collected: Yes. ... Information about your device and network, such as device type, manufacturer, model, operating system, IP address, browser type and unique identifiers associated with your device or your network."

Beyond audio recordings needed for language learning, Praktika confirms collecting broad 'sensory data' and detailed device/network identifiers including unique device IDs.

"We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. We will let you know via email and/or a prominent notice on our Service, prior to the change becoming effective and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page."

While they promise notification, changes become effective simply by being posted. Continued use constitutes acceptance with no mechanism to reject changes other than stopping use of the service.

"The Company will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies. The Company will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes."

Praktika provides no concrete data retention timelines, using vague 'as long as necessary' language that effectively allows indefinite retention of personal data.

"You can view, update or delete certain information by accessing and updating your profile page on the Application. If you have any questions about reviewing, modifying or deleting your Personal Data, you can contact us using the details set out in the "Contact Us" section above. ... In order to exercise any of your rights under the CCPA, and if you are a California resident, you can contact us: By email: support@praktika.ai"

Users can only delete 'certain information' in-app. Full data deletion requires emailing support, with no self-service option and a 45-90 day response window mentioned for CCPA requests.
