Privacy Policy
Last updated: 12 November 2026
Clipling helps you learn languages from videos. We built it so that you don't need an account and your learning stays on your iPhone.
What stays on your iPhone
The words and sentences you save, your progress, your settings, the subtitles of videos you watched (so a word can show you where you heard it) and your reminder times are stored only on your device. The widget and the share extension read them from the same device. Deleting the app deletes them.
What is sent, and why
Some features need a service outside your iPhone:
- AI features (word meanings and examples, the word tutor, simpler versions of sentences, answers to your questions, summaries): the text involved (the word, the video's sentences, your question) goes through our server to our AI provider, OpenAI, to produce the answer. Our server runs on Cloudflare and does not store what you send. To keep a fair daily limit it counts requests per install, using a random identifier that is not linked to you, and forgets the count after two days.
- Voice: natural-voice audio is produced by OpenAI's text-to-speech through the same server. When you speak to the app, Apple's speech recognition turns it into text.
- Videos: videos play in YouTube's own player and the YouTube website, under Google's privacy policy. Subtitles come from YouTube.
- Translation: Apple's on-device translation when available.
- Siri: when you use Clipling with Siri, Apple processes your request under Apple's privacy policy.
- Purchases: Clipling Pro is bought, renewed, shared with your family and cancelled through Apple. We never see your payment details or your Apple Account.
These providers process the data only to answer your request. OpenAI's API does not use it to train its models.
What we don't do
No account, no advertising, no tracking across apps or websites, no analytics SDKs, no selling of data.
Children
Clipling is not directed to children under 13, or under the minimum age for these services in your country.
Your rights
Since we don't keep your data on a server, you control it on your device: remove a word in the app, or delete the app to remove everything. Questions: Support.
