App Privacy And Permissions

FiliLearn may request microphone permission for:

• Pronunciation practice
• Voice recording
• Live Classes
• Live classroom audio
• Other learning activities requiring speech

Suggested iOS permission explanation:

FiliLearn uses your microphone for pronunciation practice and live Live Classes.

Do not request microphone access until a feature requiring it is used or permission is otherwise contextually appropriate.

FiliLearn may request camera permission for:

• Live Live Classes
• Profile photograph capture
• Teacher verification where appropriate
• Other camera based learning functionality

Suggested iOS explanation:

FiliLearn uses your camera for live Live Classes and profile features when you choose to use them.

FiliLearn may request photo library access when a User chooses to upload:

• Profile photograph
• Teacher verification materials
• Approved attachments
• Other selected media

Prefer modern system photo selectors where possible so FiliLearn does not require broad photo library access unnecessarily.

Suggested explanation:

FiliLearn accesses photos you choose to upload for your profile or supported account features.

FiliLearn may request notification permission for:

• Class reminders
• Teacher messages
• Reschedule requests
• Booking confirmations
• Learning reminders
• Announcements
• Account alerts

Suggested permission context:

Turn on notifications so you do not miss class reminders, teacher messages, and important FiliLearn updates.

Do not make promotional notifications indistinguishable from necessary class alerts.

FiliLearn may use device haptics for:

• Answer feedback
• Lesson completion
• Learning milestones
• Class confirmations
• Navigation feedback

Users should be able to disable haptic feedback inside Learning Experience settings.

FiliLearn should NOT request precise location unless a future feature has a legitimate and disclosed need for it.

Timezone functionality should not automatically require precise GPS location.

If location is introduced later, update this document and applicable store disclosures before enabling it.

FiliLearn should not request access to a User’s address book unless a future feature genuinely requires it.

Do not request Contacts permission for marketing growth.

FiliLearn should not request Bluetooth permission unless required for a clearly identified feature.

FiliLearn should not use cross app tracking merely for general analytics.

If FiliLearn later performs activity that meets Apple’s definition of tracking, appropriate App Tracking Transparency permission must be implemented before tracking occurs.

The app may transmit account information to FiliLearn servers so that Users can:

• Sign in
• Maintain progress
• Book classes
• Access subscriptions
• Communicate with Teachers
• Synchronize learning history

Learning data may include:

• Lesson completion
• Practice results
• Vocabulary progress
• XP
• Stories completed
• Live Class information

This information may be linked to the Learner account because account based progress synchronization requires identification.

Pronunciation audio may be transmitted for processing where required to provide pronunciation feedback.

The Privacy Policy should describe whether audio is retained or processed temporarily.

Live Classes may transmit live video and audio to FiliLearn’s authorized video infrastructure.

Recorded sessions are subject to the Classroom Recording Consent.

Payment information may be processed by an authorized payment processor or app marketplace.

FiliLearn should not unnecessarily store complete card information.

FiliLearn is responsible for understanding the privacy behavior of SDKs integrated into the application.

Before every App Store or Google Play submission, review all SDKs for:

• Collected data
• Data use
• Tracking behavior
• Required permissions
• Privacy manifests
• Privacy disclosures

Before submitting FiliLearn to Apple, review every category of data collected by FiliLearn and integrated third parties.

Potential categories requiring review may include:

• Contact information
• User content
• Audio data
• Photos
• Identifiers
• Purchases
• Usage data
• Diagnostics
• Other information associated with accounts

Do not automatically select these categories without confirming actual implementation.

The App Store privacy responses must reflect what the shipping app actually collects.

Where data is associated with a FiliLearn account, it may need to be disclosed as linked to the User for App Store purposes.

Do not incorrectly classify account connected information as anonymous.

Do not declare FiliLearn as tracking Users unless the actual implementation meets the platform definition.

Likewise, do not declare “no tracking” if an integrated SDK is performing tracking.

Audit all SDKs first.

Maintain the appropriate iOS privacy manifest.

Review:

• Data types
• Required reason APIs
• Integrated SDK privacy manifests
• Tracking domains if applicable

Generate and inspect the Xcode privacy report before App Store submission.

When an Android application is released, complete the Google Play Data Safety information based on actual:

• Collection
• Sharing
• Security practices
• Data purposes
• Deletion mechanisms
• Third party SDK behavior

Keep Google Play disclosures consistent with FiliLearn’s Privacy Policy.

The app should continue functioning wherever technically possible when optional permission is denied.

Example:

If camera permission is denied, ordinary self paced lessons should still work.

If microphone permission is denied, reading lessons should remain accessible even though pronunciation recording may not function.

Before triggering an operating system permission dialog, show contextual UI explaining why FiliLearn needs that permission.

Do not display multiple permission requests immediately when the app first launches.

Request permissions when the User reaches the relevant feature.

Permission requests involving younger Learners must follow the account’s parental authorization requirements where applicable.

Where required by an app marketplace or law, provide an accessible method for Users to begin account deletion.

Account deletion should also follow the Privacy Policy and applicable retention requirements.

This page should be updated whenever FiliLearn introduces a new category of device permission or materially changes how app data is used.
