Privacy Policy — Verbomatique Secondaire

Nederlands | English

Last updated: September 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Verbomatique Secondaire handles information when you use our mobile application and when you visit our website, www.verbomatique.com.

Who We Are

Verbomatique Secondaire is published by:

Team Wabi Sabi BV Cicindriastraat 29, 3890 Gingelom, Belgium Company number 0722.546.961 support@verbomatique.be

Summary

Verbomatique Secondaire requires no account, login, or registration, and the App never asks you for your name, email address, or any other personal information. The App does use third-party services that automatically collect limited technical data and device identifiers — for crash reporting and to serve advertising. On our website you may optionally give us your email address for the newsletter, and we use measurement tools described below.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

Newsletter sign-up (optional). If you subscribe to our newsletter via our website, we collect your email address on an opt-in basis. We use it to send you news about new features, new verb sets, product news, and usage tips. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email. Sign-ups are managed through Brevo (see “Third-Party Services”).

No account required. The App itself does not ask for, collect, or store your name, email address, or any other personal information. There are no user accounts and the App has no server.

Automatically Collected Information in the App

Google Firebase Crashlytics. We use Crashlytics to detect and diagnose crashes and errors so we can fix them. This may include device information (model, operating system version), app version, a randomly generated installation identifier, and crash logs. It is used solely to improve app stability and not to identify you personally.

Google Analytics for Firebase (Android only). The Android build of the App includes the Google Analytics for Firebase library. The App itself does not use it — we build no reports from it and no analytics functionality is wired into the App — but the library ships in the Android build and initialises at start-up. In that state it can automatically collect app usage data such as sessions, screen views, device information, and an app instance identifier. The iOS build does not include this library.

We disclose this because it is factually the case, even though it is not something we use. If we remove the library from the App, we will update this policy.

Firebase Cloud Messaging. The App includes Firebase’s push-messaging library. We send no push notifications and the App does not use this functionality. Because the library ships, a device registration token may be created with Google at start-up.

The reminders you can set inside the App are local notifications: they are scheduled and shown entirely on your own device, and no data is sent for them.

Google AdMob and the advertising identifier. The App displays advertisements through Google AdMob. To serve ads, the App reads your device’s advertising identifier (the Advertising ID on Android, the IDFA on iOS) and passes it to AdMob. AdMob may use that identifier and other technical data to select and measure advertising.

The App sets no personalization flag on its ad requests: it sends Google’s advertising SDK a plain request and does not itself tell it whether to personalize. Whether the resulting ads are personalized is determined by the consent signals that SDK reads — your response to the Google consent form where it applies, and on iOS additionally the App Tracking Transparency permission, which governs access to the advertising identifier. See “Advertising consent (Google UMP)” below.

Because the App is also used by teenagers, we limit the ad content that may be served in it: the App’s ad content rating in Google AdMob is capped at the teen level, which blocks advertising rated for mature audiences. This applies to both the Android and iOS versions of the App.

Advertising consent (Google UMP). In regions where it is required — such as the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom — the App shows a Google consent form (the User Messaging Platform, UMP) at start-up before any ads are loaded. Whether this form appears is determined by Google based on your region; we add no location or IP detection of our own. Your choice in this form governs whether personalized ads are requested: the advertising SDK reads the consent signals recorded through UMP and tailors advertising accordingly — the App itself sets no separate flag for this.

The App Tracking Transparency prompt on iOS is a separate, additional system prompt and is not the same thing as this consent form. It appears after the UMP form and controls, at the operating-system level, access to your device’s advertising identifier.

This consent form was introduced in version 4.1.4 of the App. Anyone who has not updated the App to that version or later does not see the form, so it does not apply to every user. Where UMP requires it, you can review or change your choice later from the privacy option in the App’s settings.

In-app purchases. Purchases (such as removing ads or additional verb packs) are handled entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. All payment processing happens at Apple or Google; we do not receive, collect, or store your payment information. The App records locally on your device that a purchase was made, so it stays active.

What stays on your device. Your settings and progress are stored locally on your device and are never sent to us. No internet connection is needed for conjugation practice.

The Website www.verbomatique.com

Besides the newsletter form, our website uses the following measurement tools. All of them are loaded only after you accept on the cookie banner. If you decline, or dismiss the banner without accepting, they are not loaded and no data is sent for these purposes.

Google Analytics 4 (via Google’s Site Kit plugin) — used to understand how visitors find and use our website and to measure the performance of our website and advertising. It may collect pages viewed, time on site, referring website, browser and device information, and an approximate location derived from your IP address. Aggregated Google Search query and landing-page data is also available to us through Google Search Console, which is linked to our Analytics property.

Google Analytics loads only after you accept on the cookie banner. If you decline, or dismiss the banner without accepting, Google Analytics is not loaded and no data is sent to Google for this purpose. The same Google tag also carries Google Ads conversion measurement and remarketing for our own advertising, which is likewise loaded only after you accept. Independently of the banner, you can install Google’s browser opt-out add-on or use your browser’s tracking protection.

The Meta Pixel — used to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram. When active it may record a PageView on load, a Lead event when our newsletter form is submitted (this records that a submission happened; it does not itself contain the email address you entered), and AppStoreClick or PlayStoreClick custom events when you click through to a store page. Meta may also use this data for its own purposes, subject to its privacy policy, including ad personalization and measurement on Meta’s platforms where you have an active Meta account and have not restricted this in your Meta settings.

The Meta Pixel loads only after you accept on the cookie banner. If you decline, or dismiss the banner without accepting, the Pixel is not loaded and no data is sent to Meta.

Your consent choice. You can accept, decline, or change your choice at any time using the cookie banner or the “View preferences” link, and through our Cookie Policy.

Legal basis. For visitors in Canada, we rely on your consent under PIPEDA for all of the measurement tools above. For visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the placing and reading of non-essential cookies and the associated processing rely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR); strictly necessary cookies, including the one that remembers your consent choice, are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating the site.

How We Use Information

We do not build a personal profile of you beyond these purposes, and we do not sell your information.

Third-Party Services

We encourage you to review these policies to understand how each service handles data.

International Transfers

We are established in Belgium. Google, Meta, Brevo and Apple may process data on servers outside your country, including in the United States and in the European Economic Area. Where personal information is transferred out of the EEA, those transfers rely on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. If you are in Canada, note that your information may be stored or processed outside Canada and may be accessible to courts and authorities in those jurisdictions.

Children’s Privacy

Verbomatique Secondaire is designed for use by teenagers and secondary school students. The App requires no account or registration and asks for no personal information, whatever the user’s age.

Our advertising and our website communications are directed at parents, teachers, and adult learners, not at children.

If you are a parent, guardian, or teacher and believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@verbomatique.be.

Data Retention

Your Rights

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to withdraw consent where we rely on it. Contact us at support@verbomatique.be.

If you are in Canada, you may also complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (priv.gc.ca). If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and portability under the GDPR, and may complain to the Belgian Data Protection Authority, Drukpersstraat 35, 1000 Brussels (gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.be).

Your Choices

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
