What this site collects
Only what you type into the form: your email address and the language you were reading the site in. There is no account, no name, no address, and nothing you have not typed yourself.
What I do with it
One email when the app is ready. If you ticked the box, news about new things for bilingual families as well. Every email I send has an unsubscribe link, and using it takes you off the list.
Analytics
If analytics are switched on for this site, I use PostHog to count page views: the path you opened and the site you came from. No cookies are set, no profile is built, and no personal data is sent — which is why there is no cookie banner. If analytics are switched off, nothing leaves your browser at all.
Hosting
The site runs on Vercel and the list lives in my own database, both in the region configured for the project. My hosting and database providers process this data on my instructions and nobody else's.
Your rights
You can ask me what I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it — and you can withdraw your consent at any time. Write to hello@weareemberworks.com and I will do it.
Deleting your family's data
A parent asks to delete the family from inside the app. That one request removes the family's records from the server, the family's audio files, and the sign-in account of the parent who asked. Any other parent keeps their own sign-in and is told, the next time they open the app, that the family is gone. The payment receipts the app stores are kept for accounting, with the family's name and id taken out of them. Backups still hold a copy for up to a day before they are deleted too.
Your child's recordings
When a parent turns this on, the app keeps a few seconds of your child saying a line, together with the phrase, who said it and the date. They are kept on your family's own phones and on our server, in your family's private storage, so a new phone keeps them too. Only your family's own signed-in devices can play them back: nobody at the company listens to them, and they are never used to train or recognize anything, for analytics, or for any call to a language model. Turning the switch off in Settings keeps what is already there; Delete every recording takes them off the phone and the server within the day, and deleting the family removes them along with everything else.
