Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information the SmartEdu - English to Bangla mobile application ("the app", "we", "us") processes, why, and which third-party services are involved.
1. Information we process
a. Text you translate
- Translations are performed on your device using Google ML Kit. The text you type is not sent to our servers or to any online translation service.
- The first time you translate between two languages, the app downloads the required language model (about 30 MB) from Google's servers. After that, translation works offline.
b. Dictionary lookups
- When you search a word in the Dictionary, that word only is sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection to the Free Dictionary API (
api.dictionaryapi.dev) to fetch definitions, phonetics, examples and synonyms. - While you type in the Dictionary search box, the typed letters are sent over HTTPS to the Datamuse API (
api.datamuse.com) to show word suggestions. No account or device identifier is sent with these requests.
c. Learning Insights
- After a translation that involves English, the app looks up up to 3 English keywords of the sentence in the same Free Dictionary API to show meanings, pronunciation and a short quiz. Only those individual words are sent.
d. Grammar Checker
- When you tap "Check Grammar", the sentence you entered is sent over HTTPS to the LanguageTool API (
api.languagetool.org) to find grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes. No account or device identifier is sent with the request. - When the device is offline, a basic check runs on your device instead and nothing is sent.
e. Voice input
- When you tap a microphone button, the app opens your device's speech recognition service (on most devices provided by Google). That service converts speech to text and may process audio on its own servers under its own privacy policy.
- SmartEdu - English to Bangla itself does not record, store or upload audio, and does not request the microphone permission. We only receive the recognized text.
f. Text-to-speech
- The speaker button uses your device's built-in Text-to-Speech engine.
g. History and favorites
- Your translation history and favorites are stored only on your device (local database). We never upload them.
- You can delete them at any time inside the app, or by clearing the app's data or uninstalling the app.
h. Advertising (Google AdMob)
- The app shows full-screen (interstitial) ads through Google AdMob.
- Google AdMob may collect and process the Android Advertising ID, IP address, general device information (model, OS version), approximate location derived from the IP address, and ad interaction data in order to serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud.
- Users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other regions where it is required are asked for consent through Google's User Messaging Platform before ads are personalized. You can change this choice at any time from the app menu: Ad privacy settings.
- You can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads in your device settings (Settings > Google > Ads, or Settings > Privacy > Ads).
