1. Who we are
Españolito (https://espanolito.uk) is run by Naji Abderraouf, Mauritania (“we”). We are responsible for the personal data described here. Contact: hello@espanolito.uk.
2. The short version
- You can use the whole course without an account. Your progress is then stored only on your device.
- We do not sell your data. There are no ads and no tracking cookies.
- Microphone recordings for speaking practice stay on your device.
3. Information stored on your device
To make the course work, your browser’s local storage keeps your progress (completed units, exercise scores, flashcard schedule, quiz history, XP and streak), your writing drafts and your settings (voice, speed, theme, display options), and your privacy choices. This information does not leave your device unless you sign in to an account. You can delete it at any time with Progress → Reset all progress or by clearing your browser’s site data. This storage is strictly necessary for the service you request, so it does not require consent.
4. Speech features
Listening exercises use the speech voices built into your device. If you use pronunciation scoring, your browser’s speech-recognition service converts your voice to text; in Chrome and Edge this audio is processed by Google or Microsoft under their own privacy policies. We never receive the audio. Recordings you make in the speaking studio are kept only in your browser’s memory and disappear when you leave the page.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
We use only what is necessary for the course to work (section 3). You can change your choices at any time:
6. Other services
Fonts and all course content are served from our own site. Our hosting provider processes your IP address and request data in server logs to deliver the website and protect it from abuse.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR), you have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. Write to hello@espanolito.uk. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.
8. Children
The course is suitable for learners of all ages, but accounts are for people aged 13 or older (16 in some countries unless a parent or guardian agrees). If you believe a child has given us personal data without permission, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes
We will update this page when our practices change and show the date at the top. Significant changes will be announced on the site.
