Privacy Policy

Last updated: 14 July 2026

Reminta is a language-learning notebook: you capture words and phrases, add detail to them, and practise them later. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what happens to it. The short version: we collect the minimum needed to run the service, we show your content only to people you have chosen to share it with, and we never sell your data or show you adverts.

What we collect and why

  • Account details. Your name and email address, from Google if you sign in with Google or from the sign-up form if you create a password account. Passwords are never stored in plain text; we keep only a salted hash. You can optionally add an avatar image.
  • Your learning content. The sessions you create and the words, phrases, translations, notes, and tags you capture in them, plus your practice history so the app can schedule reviews. Teachers additionally have the lessons they capture and their links to students.
  • Cookies. One cookie, used to keep you signed in. There are no analytics, tracking, or advertising cookies.
  • Correspondence. If you email us, we keep the exchange so we can help you.

We do not collect your location. Practice reminders in the Android app are scheduled on your device, not from our servers.

How your content is shared inside Reminta

Sharing in Reminta only ever happens through links you create. If you link with a teacher, that teacher can see the sessions you capture in the languages your link covers, subject to your visibility settings: you can share new sessions automatically, be asked each time, or hide any individual session. You can pause or remove a teacher link at any time in the app.

When a teacher shares a lesson with you, you receive your own copy of its content; that copy is yours and stays yours even if the teacher later edits the lesson or deletes their account.

Services we rely on

Reminta runs on a small number of third-party services, each of which receives only what it needs to do its job:

  • Vercel hosts the application.
  • Xata hosts our database, where your account and learning content are stored.
  • Googlehandles sign-in if you choose to sign in with Google. On some accounts, Reminta also suggests an English translation for captured text; to do that, the captured text (and nothing else, never your name or email) is sent to Google’s Cloud Translation service.
  • SendGrid delivers account emails, such as password resets. We do not send marketing email.

When we access or disclose your information

Nobody looks at your content in the course of normal operation. We may access it to investigate a bug or an abuse report, or if the law requires us to. We do not sell or rent personal information to anyone, and we do not share it with advertisers.

Your rights and deleting your data

You can view and edit your profile in Settings. You can delete individual items and sessions at any time, and you can delete your whole account from Settings; deletion is immediate and permanent, and removes your account, sessions, captured content, practice history, and links. Copies of deleted data can persist briefly in our database provider’s routine backups until those expire. If you would like a copy of your data, email us and we will provide one.

How we secure your data

All traffic between you and Reminta is encrypted over HTTPS. Data is encrypted at rest by our hosting providers. Passwords are stored only as salted hashes.

Where your data lives

Reminta is hosted in the United States, so your information is stored and processed there.

Children

Reminta is not directed at children under 13, and you may not use it if you are under 13.
