7.2. We reserve the right to refuse to provide you with information that we hold about you, when we are required or authorised to refuse to provide you with access to that record under the applicable provisions of any law in any jurisdiction where that data is held.


8. Software Application

8.1. When you use our apps, we may collect certain information such as the mobile unique device ID, the IP address of your mobile device, the mobile operating system, the type of mobile internet browsers you use, and information about the way you use the apps. This information is used in an aggregated manner to analyse how people use our app, so that we can improve our service.

8.2. Cookies - We may from time to time use cookies or local storage on our apps or websites. Most devices automatically accept cookies but you can choose to reject cookies by changing your device settings. However, this may prevent you from taking full advantage of our services.

8.3. Third parties - Our apps may, from time to time, have links to other apps or websites not owned or controlled by us. These links are meant for your convenience only. Links to third party apps and websites do not constitute sponsorship or endorsement or approval of these third parties. Please be aware that Woodpecker Learning Limited is not responsible for the privacy practises of other such applications or websites. We encourage our users to be aware, when they leave our app or website, to read the privacy statements of each and every application or website that collects personal identifiable information.

8.4. Geo-location - When you visit the App, we may use GPS technology (or other similar technology) to determine your current location in order to determine the city you are located within to improve the user experience. We will not share your current location with other users or partners.

8.5. Right to be forgotten - When you delete your account we will permanently delete from our records your name and email address.

8.6 Google’s Privacy Policy - The Woodpecker Language Learning app uses YouTube API Services to play YouTube videos. When a YouTube video is played, the app communicates directly with the content provider (YouTube) and not with Woodpecker Learning. Users of the app should be aware of the Google Privacy Policy available at https://policies.google.com/privacy, which states how YouTube treats user data. Woodpecker Learning Limited does not have any record of the videos watched or any other user related YouTube API data.

8.7 Personally Identifiable Information - The Woodpecker - Language Learning app does not send any personally identifiable information to Woodpecker Learning. When a user installs the Woodpecker - Language Learning app, the operating system on their device creates a unique identifier for that instance of the app installation which allows us to collect usage information. This unique identifier is not linked to any personal information about the user. If the app is deleted and then reinstalled, a new unique identifier is created which is not linked to any previous installation of the app on a user’s device.

8.8 App Usage Information - Any Information we collect in the Woodpecker - Language Learning App excludes PII (as described in 8.7 of our Privacy Policy). Information we collect includes language settings, which dictionaries have been installed, which features are used and coarse location. Coarse or approximate location enables us to determine the country from which our recommended playlists are being downloaded. We need this information as some videos are geo-blocked in certain countries and we exclude any videos that are geo-blocked in your country from our recommendations. When you type in words in the search boxes for videos, topics or channels in the free video player for YouTube videos, that information will go to our servers and we will provide recommendations to you. However any search that you make in the Unlimited Video Player (available only on iPadOS) or in the Web Browser will not go to our servers and we will have no record of it. Woodpecker Learning does not know which videos a user chooses to watch or which words are looked up in the dictionary. Similarly, in the web browser within the app, we do not know which websites are viewed or which words are looked up. Within the app, you can delete the videos in your video history, your browsing history in the web browser and your word history in the dictionary. Note that this paragraph 8.8 applies only to the Woodpecker - Language Learning app (available only on the App Store and Google Play) which has embedded dictionaries. Our other products depend on our own dictionary API service where we collect user IP addresses and the words looked-up to ensure that our API service is not abused.

8.9 Website video player usage information - We keep a record of which videos are watched on our website and the associated IP address for up to seven days. Prior to seven days elapsing the video IDs are deleted. We record which words are looked up in our dictionaries and the associated IP address. We do this to ensure that our API service and website are not being abused. Third parties will only be given access to this information if necessary to help support our services or if required by law. We won’t sell any of this data to third parties. If you accessed our Click to Translate service, or a video service which we support, through a third party’s website then your IP address and the words you look up are also available to that website owner and the treatment of that information will also be subject to the privacy policy of that website.


9. Complaints about privacy

9.1. If you have any complaints about our privacy practices, please feel free to send in details of your complaints to support@Woodpeckerlearning.com. We take complaints very seriously and will respond shortly after receiving notice of your complaint.


10. Opt-out right

10.1. You can stop all collection of information by our apps by uninstalling them. You may use the standard uninstall processes as may be available as part of your mobile device or via the mobile application marketplace or network.


11. Changes to Privacy Policy

11.1. Please be aware that we may change this Privacy Policy in the future. We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time, in our sole discretion and all modifications will be effective immediately upon our posting of the modifications on our website. Please check back from time to time to review our Privacy Policy.
