Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Ilia Liubimov ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the AlefBet — Hebrew Dictionary mobile application ("App").

In short: AlefBet is an offline dictionary. It works without an account and without an internet connection. We do not collect personal data. The only information that ever leaves your device is an error report, and only if you choose to send one.


1. Information We Collect

Information you provide:

  • Error reports you submit voluntarily through the in-app "Report a Problem" feature — the word in question, the issue type you select, and an optional comment

Information stored only on your device:

  • App settings and preferences (via UserDefaults)
  • Favorites and recently viewed words (via CoreData)

Information we do NOT collect:

  • Your name, email address, or any personal identifiers
  • Device identifiers or advertising IDs
  • Location data
  • Contact lists, photos, or other device data
  • Your searches, favorites, or browsing within the App

2. How We Use Information

We use the limited information we receive only to:

  • Review error reports and correct mistakes in the dictionary
  • Maintain and improve the App

3. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services:

Google Firebase Firestore — When you submit an error report, the report (the word, the selected issue type, and your optional comment) is sent to Firebase so we can review and fix it. No personal data is attached to the report, and reports are not linked to your identity.

Apple StoreKit — Subscription purchases are processed by Apple. Apple's privacy policy governs all payment processing. We do not have access to your payment information.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your favorites, recents, and settings are stored locally on your device. We do not have access to this data. Error reports you choose to send are stored in Firebase without any connection to your identity.

We implement reasonable technical measures to protect the information we process. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Data Retention

Local data (favorites, recents, settings) is stored on your device until you delete the App or clear it manually via Settings. Anonymous error reports may be retained to help us improve the dictionary.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is rated 4+ and is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we do not collect personal information from any users, there is no specific risk regarding children's data.

7. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the right to access, delete, object to the processing of, or port your personal data. Since we do not collect personal data that can be linked to you, these rights are largely satisfied by design. To clear your local data, delete the App or use the relevant options in Settings. To submit a data request, contact us at legal@alefbet.tech.

8. Israeli Privacy Law

This App is developed by an individual based in Israel. We comply with the Israeli Privacy Protection Law, 5741-1981 and its regulations. The data controller is Ilia Liubimov, Israel. Contact: legal@alefbet.tech.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
