This Privacy Policy describes how Lexicon ("we", "our", or "the app") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our vocabulary learning application.
Information we collect
Account information
Sign in with Apple: When you sign in, Apple provides us with a unique user identifier and, if you choose to share them, your name and email address. We use this solely to authenticate your account and sync your data across devices. If you choose to hide your email, we never see your real email address.
Data you provide
Words and Collections: The vocabulary words you save, along with any collections you create, are stored locally on your device and synced to our secure servers to enable cross-device access, widgets, and backup.
Device Token: If you enable push notifications, we collect your device token solely to send you Word of the Day notifications.
Data collected automatically
Usage Data: We may collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the app experience. This does not include personally identifiable information.

Data storage and security
Your vocabulary data is stored locally on your device and synced to secure cloud servers (Supabase) to enable cross-device access and backup. Your account is protected by Sign in with Apple authentication. We use industry-standard security measures including row-level security policies to ensure only you can access your data.
Cross-device sync
When you sign in with your Apple account, your vocabulary library is securely synced to our servers. This allows you to access your words across multiple devices and restore your collection if you reinstall the app. Your data is tied to your Apple account and is not accessible to other users.
