The method

Words first. Then grammar.

Most courses throw grammar rules at you on day one. We flip it: first you learn useful words, then grammar clicks because you already know the vocabulary in every example.

1

Learn a word batch

Small, focused sets of real words with audio and pictures. You memorize at your own pace — no overwhelm.

2

Practice the grammar

Grammar lessons and exercises use only the words you've already learned, so rules feel natural instead of abstract.

3

Read, listen & speak

Short stories, listening checks and pronunciation practice bring it all together — and your progress is saved.

Story practice

Privacy Policy

Last updated {{ lastUpdated }}

In short: German with Levels works without an account and stores your learning on your device. We collect as little as possible, never sell your data, keep analytics off by default, and let you delete your data at any time.

1. Who we are

German with Levels (“the app”, “we”, “us”) is a mobile app for learning German. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and the choices you have. If you have any questions, contact us at support@germanwithlevels.app.

2. Information we collect

Account information. You can use the app without signing up. On first launch we create an anonymous profile so your progress can be saved. If you choose to create or link an account, we collect your email address (and a password for email sign-in), or a secure sign-in token when you use Sign in with Apple or Google. We never receive your Apple or Google password.

Learning data. We store your progress — words learned, batches and lessons completed, practice answers, streaks, your level (A1/A2) and app preferences. This stays on your device and, if you have an account, syncs to our cloud so you can restore it on a new device.

Diagnostics & crash reports. If the app crashes, we may receive a crash report to help us fix bugs. These reports use a one-way hashed installation identifier and do not include your name or email.

Optional usage analytics. Analytics are off by default. You can turn on anonymous usage analytics in Profile → Privacy. If enabled, we record anonymized in-app events to understand which features help learners. You can turn this off at any time.

Purchases. If paid features are offered, purchases are handled by Apple’s App Store. We receive confirmation that you are entitled to a feature — we never receive your payment card details.

3. How we use your data

  • To save your learning progress and let you continue where you left off.
  • To sync your progress across your devices when you have an account.
  • To diagnose crashes and fix bugs.
  • With your consent, to improve the app through anonymous analytics.
  • To respond to your support requests.

4. Local storage & cloud sync

The app is local-first: your learning is kept on your device so it works offline. Cloud sync only happens when you create or link an account — it exists so you don’t lose progress if you change phones. Without an account, your data stays on your device and is removed when you delete the app.

5. Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal data. We use a small number of trusted service providers strictly to operate the app: a cloud database and authentication provider (to store synced progress and manage accounts), a crash-reporting provider (to receive anonymized crash reports), and Apple (to process any purchases). These providers process data only on our behalf.

6. Data retention & deletion

We keep account data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time from the Delete Account page, or by emailing support@germanwithlevels.app. If you don’t have an account, simply deleting the app removes your local data.

7. Children’s privacy

German with Levels is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, and to withdraw consent for analytics. To exercise any of these, email support@germanwithlevels.app.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves. When we make material changes, we’ll update the date at the top of this page.

Terms of Use

Last updated {{ lastUpdated }}

1. Acceptance

By downloading or using German with Levels, you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the app.

2. Using the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app for your own language learning. You agree not to copy, resell, reverse-engineer or misuse the app or its content.

3. Learning content & accuracy

We work hard to keep our German content correct and helpful, but language is nuanced and we cannot guarantee that every translation, example or explanation is perfect or fits every context. The app is a learning aid and is not a substitute for a certified course, teacher, or official examination preparation.

4. Your account

You can use the app without an account. If you create one, you’re responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure and for activity under your account. Let us know promptly if you suspect unauthorized use.

5. Purchases

Core learning is free to start. If we offer paid features in the future — such as a one-time (lifetime) unlock or a subscription — the price and terms will be shown clearly in the app before you buy. All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store and are also subject to Apple’s terms. Subscriptions, if offered, renew automatically unless cancelled in your Apple account settings. Refund requests are handled by Apple in line with App Store policy.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the app in any unlawful way, to disrupt its operation, or to attempt to access data that isn’t yours.

7. Intellectual property

The app, its design, mascot, audio, illustrations and learning content are owned by German with Levels or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. You may not reuse them without permission.

8. Disclaimers & liability

The app is provided “as is”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or incidental damages arising from your use of the app. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot be limited under applicable law.

9. Changes & termination

We may update the app and these terms over time. We may suspend or end access if these terms are misused. You can stop using the app at any time by deleting it.

10. Contact

Support

Have a question or running into trouble? Email us and we’ll usually get back to you within 2–3 business days.

support@germanwithlevels.app

Login & account

You can learn without an account. To sync across devices, create or link an account in Profile using your email, Apple or Google. Trouble signing in? Email us with the address you used.

Purchases & restore

Purchases go through the App Store. If you’ve switched devices, use Restore Purchases in the app. For billing or refund questions, Apple manages payments — we can help point you in the right direction.

Progress & sync

Your progress is saved on your device and synced when you have an account. Missing progress on a new phone? Sign in with the same account and it should restore automatically.

App issues & audio

If audio won’t play or the app behaves oddly, try closing and reopening it, and make sure you’re on the latest version. Still stuck? Tell us your device and iOS version so we can reproduce it.

Data & deletion

Want to delete your account or data? Visit the Delete Account page for steps, or email us and we’ll take care of it.

Feedback & corrections

Spotted a translation that seems off, or have an idea? We genuinely want to hear it — email us and help make the app better for everyone.

Still need help?

Email support@germanwithlevels.app with as much detail as you can — your device, iOS version, and what happened.
Your data, your choice

Delete account & data

You can ask us to permanently delete your account and the data linked to it at any time. Here’s how it works.

What gets deleted

  • Your account and sign-in details (email or linked Apple/Google identity).
  • Your synced learning progress — words learned, completed lessons, practice answers, streaks and preferences.
  • Any analytics events tied to your account, if you had analytics enabled.

Deletion is permanent and can’t be undone. We’ll confirm by email once it’s done, normally within 30 days of your request.

Using the app without an account? Then your data only lives on your device — there’s nothing on our servers to delete. Simply deleting the app from your phone removes that local data.

Request deletion

Fill in the details below and send — it opens an email to our team. Or email us directly at support@germanwithlevels.app.

This opens your email app with the request pre-filled. We’ll confirm once it’s processed.
