Poepoe teaches informal German and Dutch phrases — the stuff a textbook skips. This page explains, plainly, what the app collects, why, and what you can do about it. No legal filler: if a section doesn't apply to Poepoe, it isn't here.
1What we collect
| Data | Why | |
|---|---|---|
| Email address & password | To create an account and sign you back in. Passwords are salted and hashed — we never see or store the plain text. | Only if you sign up |
| Phrases and audio recordings you submit | To grow the shared library of phrases other learners study. You choose what to record and submit. | Only if you contribute |
| Lesson answers, XP, streak, learning history | So the app can track your own progress and pick what to show you next. | Always, once you use lessons |
That's the entire list. Poepoe has no ads, no analytics or tracking SDKs, and doesn't request your location, contacts, photos, or any device permission besides the microphone (used only when you tap "record" to submit a phrase).
2Guest / anonymous use
You can try lessons without creating an account. A guest session still needs somewhere to keep your in-progress XP and streak, so a temporary, anonymous account is created behind the scenes — it holds no email or personal details, and signing up later simply attaches your email to that same progress instead of starting over.
3Where it lives
Poepoe runs on infrastructure we operate ourselves — not a large third-party data platform. Your data is not sold, and it is not shared with advertisers or data brokers. It's used only to run the app you're using: checking your answers, keeping your streak, and showing community-submitted phrases to other learners.
4Your choices
- Reset your progress — clears your streak, XP, and lesson history, from Settings, any time.
- Delete your account — from Settings. This isn't necessarily instant: it's a request to remove your account and anything you've submitted, processed on our side, but once submitted you're immediately signed out and the account stops being usable.
- Sign out at any time from Settings.
5Children
Poepoe teaches informal, sometimes crude, slang and is not directed at children. We don't knowingly collect data from children.
