What we keep, and what we don't.

Lazy German shows you three German words a day. To do that it needs to remember which words you have already met. That is very nearly the whole story.

Last updated 28 September 2026

The short version

There is no analytics service in this app. No advertising identifier, no tracking pixel, no third-party SDK of any kind. Nobody is paying us for your attention, so there is nothing to sell.

We do not know your email address. If you sign in with Apple we ask Apple for your name and nothing else. We never see your card, because Apple handles every payment.

What we store

When you first open Lazy German it creates a random identifier and keeps it in your device's keychain. Your progress hangs off that identifier. It is not derived from your phone, your SIM or your Apple ID, and it means nothing outside this app.

WhatWhy it exists
Device identifierSo today's three words are still today's three words when you reopen the app.
Your first nameOnly if you type one. It is used to say good morning, and nowhere else.
Your level and time zoneWhich words you are sent, and when they arrive.
Which words you have metHow often you have seen each one and when it is due again. This is the app.
Subscription statusApple's transaction identifier, the plan, and when it runs out. No payment details reach us.
Apple account identifierOnly if you sign in. An opaque string from Apple, so your progress survives a new phone.

Not your email address, not your location, not your contacts, photos, microphone or camera, and no advertising identifier. The notifications are built on your phone from a schedule we send, so there is no push token either.

Who else sees it

Apple, which handles the subscription and tells us only that a purchase happened and when it expires, and our hosting provider, which stores the database on our behalf and may not use it for anything of its own. That is the whole list. We do not sell data or share it with advertisers.

Your rights

Ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to team@tecwi.ch and we will answer within 30 days. You do not need to explain why.

Deleting the app alone does not erase anything on our side: the identifier lives in the keychain, which survives a reinstall on purpose, so that reinstalling does not cost you your progress.

Lazy German is not aimed at children under 16. If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will say so in the app rather than quietly editing this page.
