Privacy Policy
Simple truth: We don’t create accounts, and your learning progress stays on your device.
Last updated: January 7, 2026
The Simple Truth
LingoBingo doesn’t require an account.
Your game progress stays on your device (local storage). If you contact us, we receive the information you submit. If ads are enabled, Google’s advertising products may collect data to serve and measure ads.
How LingoBingo Actually Works
No Accounts
No sign-ups, passwords, or personal details. Just open the app and start learning immediately.
Local Storage
Your progress, scores, and preferences are saved locally in your browser/device. Never sent anywhere.
Ad-Supported
Google's ad systems keep the app free. They handle consent and data collection, not us.
Data & Privacy: What Actually Happens
🔒 Your Learning Data
All your game progress, scores, streaks, and preferences are stored locally in your browser or device. We never see this data, never collect it, and never have access to it.
✅ Your progress stays private and belongs only to you
🍪 Storage & Cookies
Local Storage (Required)
Your game progress and settings (stored locally on your device)
Cookies (May be used)
We don’t set marketing cookies ourselves. Our hosting provider and third parties (e.g. Google, if ads are enabled) may set cookies for security, delivery, and advertising/measurement.
🎯 Advertising (How We Stay Free)
If ads are shown, Google’s advertising systems (AdMob for mobile, AdSense for web) handle ad-related data collection and consent flows. We don’t collect ad interaction data ourselves.
Web: If enabled, AdSense may show consent dialogs when required and manage ad preferences
Mobile: We ask for consent before sharing advertising identifiers with AdMob (where required)
✉️ Contact Form Data
If you submit the contact form, we receive the details you provide (name, email, subject, message). We use this information only to respond and provide support.
Form submissions are processed via Netlify Forms (our hosting provider). Netlify may process technical metadata (like IP address and user agent) for security and delivery.
Google Advertising: How It Works
🌐 Web Version
Google AdSense (if enabled) handles ad serving and consent where required:
- Detects your location for GDPR/CCPA compliance
- Shows consent dialogs when required
- Manages your ad preferences
- No app permissions needed
Control ads: Google Ads Settings
📱 Mobile Apps
Google AdMob with your explicit consent:
- iOS: Apple's permission dialog first
- Android: EU users get consent dialog
- Can always opt out in device settings
- App works fully without consent
iOS: Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking
Android: Settings > Google > Ads
✅ Key Facts

Your guaranteed rights:
