Last updated: August 30, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Recep Can Akdemir ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use our mobile application, Gold List (the "App").

By using the App, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect limited information to provide, operate, secure, and improve the App.

A. Personal Data

When you create or use an account, we may collect:

B. Learning Content

When you use the App, you may create and store learning content, including:

This information is stored so the App can provide your personal learning experience.

C. Explore / Sources Content

If you use the Explore/Sources feature, you may search for or select public videos and submit words, phrases, captions, or transcript content for translation and learning assistance. This content may be processed to provide the requested feature and may be saved to your notebooks if you choose to save it.

The App may also process or store limited information related to Explore/Sources usage, such as selected language, app version, platform, public video URL, title, thumbnail, duration, and other public video metadata when needed to provide the feature, restore recent activity, or troubleshoot issues.

D. Speaking Content

If you use the Speaking feature, the App may process:

Audio recordings and full speaking-session transcripts are intended to be processed temporarily to provide the conversation, transcription, translation, feedback, and voice features. They are not intended to become permanent learning history. Words or phrases are stored in your notebooks only when you choose to save them.

Some generated audio for fixed prompts or replies may be cached to improve performance and reduce repeated processing.

E. Feedback and Bug Reports

If you submit feedback or bug reports through the App, we may store your message along with limited context such as your user ID, app version, platform, selected language, and related feature or public video information if applicable.

We use this information only to improve the App, understand user issues, and troubleshoot bugs.

F. Purchase and Subscription Information

We may process subscription and purchase information, including product identifiers, entitlement status, purchase status, and restore results. Payments are processed by Apple. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.

G. Usage and Device Data

We may collect limited usage and device data, including:

We use this information to understand product usage, evaluate feature performance, improve the App, manage subscriptions, and troubleshoot technical issues.

2. Product Analytics

We use PostHog to understand how users interact with Gold List and to improve the App. PostHog may process an account identifier, an anonymous device or installation identifier, app screens viewed, feature interactions, onboarding and purchase-flow events, and technical information such as app version, device type, locale, and operating system.

We do not intentionally send raw learning content to PostHog. This includes words, definitions, example sentences, notebook names or identifiers, speaking transcripts, audio recordings, video transcripts, search queries, and other free-form user text.

PostHog session replay, advertising tracking, precise-location collection, and automatic error capture are disabled in the App. We do not use PostHog to track users across apps or websites owned by other companies, and we do not use PostHog data for third-party advertising.

Gold List uses PostHog's European Union infrastructure for product analytics.
