Privacy policy

Who we are

Popia is an Umbundu dictionary and grammar, made by JA Criativos. This policy covers the website; the iOS and Android apps have their own policies in the stores.

What you can do without an account

Browsing the dictionary, grammar, verbs and phrases requires no account. We count page views (which word or topic was viewed, and in which language) without storing who viewed them.

What we store when you sign in with Google

• From your Google account: your name, your email address and Google's account identifier. We do not receive or store your password, your photo or any Google token.
• When you listen to a pronunciation: which word, phrase or verb you listened to, the voice chosen, the language of the page and the date and time.
• Session: a session cookie that keeps you signed in. It is only created after you sign in.

Why

To make the pronunciation available fairly (with a daily limit per account), to protect the recordings from bulk downloading, and for internal statistics on which words are most listened to. We do not sell or share your data with anyone, and we do not use it for advertising.

Third-party services

Signing in uses Google Identity Services: the Google sign-in script is only loaded when you choose to sign in. The website also loads fonts from Google Fonts.

How long we keep it

Until you delete your account. You can delete it at any time on the My account page: your account and your whole listening history are deleted immediately.
