Privacy Policy
Last updated: 17 June 2026
audioFirst is operated by Agonist Development AB (Sweden). This policy explains how the audioFirst website and iOS app handle personal information. The app is privacy-first: study progress and card content stay on your device by default.
1. What we collect
- Website email — if you contact us or join a waitlist, we store your email address to reply or notify you about launch.
- Anonymous app usage analytics — the iOS app may send product interaction events such as session started, session completed, card graded, pack opened, paywall shown, or settings export. We do not send card content, audio recordings, transcripts, your name, phone, location, or device serial.
- Subscription state — if you subscribe, Apple processes payment through StoreKit and Adapty helps us manage entitlement state. Adapty receives StoreKit receipt data, an anonymous user ID, subscription tier, expiration date, and renewal status.
- Local study data — study progress, session history, and preferences are stored on your device. If you uninstall the app, iOS deletes this data.
2. Why we use it
We use this data to operate audioFirst, reply to support requests, provide subscriptions, improve the product, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell personal data or use it for cross-app tracking.
3. Legal basis (GDPR)
We process data under your consent, the performance of our contract with you, our legitimate interest in improving the product, and legal obligations where applicable.
4. Device permissions
- Microphone — used only when you start a hands-free session, so you can grade cards with voice commands such as "good", "hard", or "again". Audio is not stored by us.
- Speech Recognition — required by iOS for Apple's speech-recognition framework. Speech recognition runs on-device when possible; Apple's privacy policy governs anything Apple processes.
5. Sharing
We use trusted infrastructure and service providers only to run the product: Cloudflare for website hosting and routing, Apple for App Store distribution, payments, and speech-recognition services, Adapty for subscription entitlement management, and our self-hosted PostHog analytics instance for anonymous product analytics.
6. Your rights
You can request access, correction, deletion, or export of your data, and withdraw consent at any time. Email privacy@audiofirst.org.
In the iOS app, you can export your local data as JSON or delete all local study data from Settings.
7. Retention
We keep support and waitlist emails as long as needed to respond or notify you, unless you ask us to delete them. Local study data stays on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app.
