Privacy policy · version of 8 October 2026
In short
- No account, no payment, no audience measurement: when you learn, Parlomia doesn’t ask you for a name, an email address, or a password.
- Your points, your streak, and your completed lessons stay on your device: they are never sent.
- The reports you choose to send are kept for 12 months at most, without your IP address.
- To fund the free course, a single ad (Google AdSense) is shown at the end of each lesson, never during an exercise. It is never personalized and, in Europe, it only appears with your agreement, given in Google’s consent message.
Who is responsible for your data
HOME SERVICE (abbreviated HS), a French simplified joint-stock company (société par actions simplifiée) with a share capital of €1, 34 boulevard des Italiens, 75009 Paris, France, which operates Parlomia (see the legal notice).
For any questions or to exercise your rights: by email at contact@parlomia.com, or by post to the registered office.
What stays on your device
The display language, the language you’re learning, and your progress (completed lessons and their dates, points, streak, and, for each phrase you’ve practiced, the number of correct and incorrect answers and their dates) are saved in your browser’s local storage, so you can pick up where you left off. Your points, your streak, and the list of your completed lessons never leave your device, and neither do your answers. However, as on any website, the web address of the app’s pages shows the display language, the language you’re learning, and the current lesson (for example /app/en/lecon/?apprendre=es&unite=12&lecon=2). It is therefore received by our web host (see “Hosting”) and, at the end of a lesson, by Google along with the ad request (see “Advertising”). This storage is necessary for the service you request; it is not used for any advertising.
If you refuse advertising in Google’s consent message, Parlomia records this refusal and its date in the same local storage, for 6 months, so that Google’s program is no longer downloaded at the end of lessons. This record is never sent; accepting erases it.
If you turn the correct and incorrect answer sounds off or back on in your Profile, this choice is recorded in the same local storage so that it is kept from one visit to the next. It is never sent.
You can erase everything at any time by deleting the parlomia.com site data in your browser’s settings. Your progress is then lost: we have no copy of it.
“Repeat out loud” exercise: if you allow microphone access, your voice is recorded on your device so that you can listen to it again. This recording is never sent and it is discarded as soon as you leave the exercise. You can refuse microphone access: the exercise is then skipped.
Sounds
The lesson and alphabet sounds are made with synthetic voices. They are generated in advance and served by sons.parlomia.com, which is also hosted by Hostinger. Nothing you write or say is transmitted to produce them. As with any web page, the server receives technical connection information (IP address, browser, requested address) in order to send you the sounds.
Hosting
Hostinger, our web host (see the legal notice), keeps technical connection logs, including IP addresses, to run and protect its servers, according to its own rules. Apart from advertising (see below), the pages load nothing from any site other than parlomia.com and sons.parlomia.com.
Reports
In the app, you can report a problem or suggest an improvement. Nothing is sent unless you ask. These messages are used to correct and improve the courses and, if you ask, to reply to you (HOME SERVICE’s legitimate interest in improving its service; for the email address, your choice to give it).
- What is received: the type of problem, the display language, the language you’re learning, what the report is about (a phrase, a letter, a number, or a screen), your comment (500 characters at most), and, only if you give it, your email address, along with the date and time of receipt.
- The email address is optional: it is only used to reply to you about this message. It is never shared with anyone for their own use: only our technical service providers see it, as it passes through their systems (see “Who receives data”).
- Your IP address is never stored in readable form. To limit abusive submissions, the server uses a secret key to compute a scrambled fingerprint of it, from which your IP address cannot be recovered; these fingerprints are only taken into account for 24 hours and are erased no later than 48 hours after the submission.
- Reports are kept on the server, in a private folder, for 12 months at most, then erased automatically. Every morning, a summary of the previous day’s reports is emailed to the person in charge of the site, who receives it in a Gmail (Google) mailbox; it is deleted from that mailbox no later than 12 months after it is received.
- Don’t write personal information in your comment: it doesn’t need any.
To have a report erased, write to us (see above), giving us what we need to find it: its date, its text, or the email address you gave.
Advertising
To fund the free course, Parlomia shows advertising with Google AdSense, a Google service.
- Where: a single ad, at the very bottom of a lesson’s end screen, below the list of expressions from the lesson and labeled “Advertisements”. Never during an exercise, and never on any other page.
- When: Google’s program is only downloaded when you scroll the end screen down to where the ad goes, or when you tap “Manage my cookie choices”. Before that, no page contacts Google. The next lesson starts on a reloaded page, without Google’s program.
- Your agreement: in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, this program first shows Google’s consent message, a tool certified under the European Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF). It asks whether you agree to Google and its advertising partners storing or reading information on your device (cookies and similar technologies) for their advertising purposes, and it lists them and gives details about them.
- No agreement, no ad: in these countries, as long as you haven’t agreed to information being stored on or read from your device, Parlomia doesn’t request any ad. If you refuse, you don’t see any, and for 6 months Google’s program is no longer downloaded at the end of lessons. Refusing doesn’t stop you from using Parlomia.
- No personalized advertising, ever, for anyone: every ad request is marked “non-personalized”. According to Google, such an ad is chosen based on context (the page, an approximate location) and not on your profile or your past visits. Every request also includes Google’s setting designed for teenagers, which excludes personalized advertising and retargeting. Cookies may still be used, for example to limit how often an ad is repeated, to measure it, or to fight fraud.
- Outside these countries, Google doesn’t show this message: the ad, still non-personalized, loads in the same way at the end of lessons.
- Changing your mind: the “Manage my cookie choices” link, at the bottom of public pages and in Profile, reopens Google’s message at any time, even after a refusal. Outside these countries, it tells you that no choice is needed there.
- If you are under 15, talk to a parent before answering Google’s message.
- Google and its partners process this data according to their own rules, described by Google on the page How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
How long your choice is kept and the main cookies that are set will be specified here once they have been identified on the site, with the date of that new version.
Who receives data
HOME SERVICE and its technical service providers, each in its own role: Hostinger (hosting the site, the sounds, and the reports) and Google (the email service that receives the summary of reports). For advertising: Google, which acts on its own behalf, and its advertising partners. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, these partners are only involved if you agree to this in Google’s consent message, which lists them; elsewhere, without a message, Google may also call on its certified advertising partners (see “Advertising”). Google and its partners may process data outside the European Union, with the safeguards provided for by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Nothing is sold.
Your rights
You can ask for access to your data, its correction, its erasure, the restriction of its use, or its portability, and object to its use, under the conditions provided for by law. You can withdraw consent at any time, without affecting what was done before. As Parlomia has neither accounts nor names, give us what we need to find what concerns you (for example the date and text of a report).
Write to us at contact@parlomia.com or by post to the registered office. You can also lodge a complaint with the CNIL, the French data protection authority (www.cnil.fr), or with the data protection authority of your country.
If you are under 15, ask a parent before giving your email address in a report.
The previous version of Parlomia
Before this new version, Parlomia offered accounts, a contact form, an email sign-up to be notified when Premium launched, a paid offering, and audience measurement (Google Analytics). These services have been discontinued, and the new version uses none of their data.
This data is deleted no later than 3 months after the switch to the new version, except data that the law requires us to keep (for example accounting records), for the period it sets. The same applies to the backup copy of the old site, which may contain some of it: until then, this copy is kept in a private space, with no public access.
If you had an account or had given us your email address, you can exercise your rights over this data (see “Your rights”).
Changes
This policy may change, for example when accounts are introduced. Each new version is published on this page, with its date.
These texts are written in French, which is the legally binding version. This English translation is provided for information only: in case of any difference, the French version prevails.
