Privacy Policy

Privacy first: Fluency has no Studio AM account, advertising, analytics, tracking, telemetry, or cloud-sync service for your reading record. Progress is stored locally on your device. The limited network uses and the actions that can send data outside the app are listed below.

1. Information we collect

1.1 Personal information

Studio AM collects no personal information through Fluency. The app requires no account, email address, or Studio AM identifier.

1.2 Reading record

Answers, reading times, Literacy Index and WPM history, streaks, saved words and word parts, Daily Challenge results, recall records, and Fluency Lab sittings are stored locally on your device. Fluency does not use CloudKit or a Studio AM server to sync this record.

1.3 Analytics and advertising

Fluency contains no third-party analytics SDK, advertising SDK, tracking, or Studio AM telemetry. We do not receive usage data from the app.

2. Reading content and network requests

The app includes a complete reading library. Once per day at launch it may request a small public manifest over HTTPS to learn whether newer readings are available. It downloads the full corpus only when you tap Get latest readings. These requests contain no reading record or Studio AM account identifier.

StoreKit contacts Apple to load plans, purchase, and restore access. Apple processes payment and eligibility; Studio AM does not receive your payment details. An optional on-device natural voice requires a one-time download of roughly 325 MB. Its speech synthesis runs locally after the assets are ready.

3. On-device reading assistance

Dictionary lookup uses the device dictionary. Listen-along uses an installed system voice or the optional downloaded natural voice. On compatible iOS or iPadOS 26 devices, the optional reading tutor and recall judgement use Apple Intelligence on-device. Studio AM does not receive the passage, recall, question, or generated response.

If the tutor declines a question, Fluency can offer to open a DuckDuckGo search in your default browser. Nothing is opened automatically. Only when you choose that button does the exact question leave the app, under the browser and search provider's policies.

4. Your data controls

Your data remains accessible without a subscription. From Your data, you can view every stored record, export a complete lossless JSON file plus a readable plain-text summary, or delete everything. Export opens the system share sheet and sends files only to the destination you choose. Deletion removes the local record from the app and cannot be undone.

5. Notifications

Reading reminders are off by default and use local notifications. If enabled, their time is handled on-device. They are canceled when verified paid access ends.

6. Subscriptions and earlier purchases

Fluency offers monthly and annual auto-renewable subscriptions through Apple. Eligible new subscribers may receive a 3-day trial; Apple shows eligibility, local price, and terms before purchase. A former one-time product is no longer sold, but Apple can restore verified historical owners. Studio AM does not receive your name, email address, or payment details from StoreKit.

7. Children's privacy

Fluency is designed for adults and serious English learners, is not directed at children under 13, and collects no personal information from anyone.

8. Changes to this policy

If the app's data practices change, this page will be updated and the effective date revised before the change ships.
