Privacy policy

This page says what we collect when you use UkrainianEasy, why, and how to have it removed. We collect as little as the site needs, and we never sell your data.

Who is responsible

The controller of your data is VODEV LLC (ТОВ «ВОДЕВ»), EDRPOU 46291583, 20 Esplanadna Street, Kyiv 01001, Ukraine, which publishes UkrainianEasy. For any question about your data, write to [email protected].

What we collect

• Your email address, when you create an account or ask to hear about new chapters. It is used to sign you in with a one-time code, and, only if you ticked the box, to tell you about new chapters.
• Your learning progress when you are signed in: the units you finished, your scores, your answers to review questions and when your next reviews are due. It is what lets you continue on any device and get your daily review.
• Your first name, if you choose to give it.
• Basic usage events: which pages are visited, from which country and referring site, under a random visitor identifier stored in your browser. It tells us what works and what does not. It is not linked to advertising.
• Payment information, when payments open. Payments are handled by Paddle.com, our reseller and Merchant of Record, which collects your card or payment details, name, country and billing address itself. We never see or store your card number. We receive from Paddle the fact that you bought, the product, the amount and your email address, so we can give you access and answer refund requests.
• Error reports when something breaks, so we can fix it.

Cookies and browser storage

• Two sign-in cookies, which keep you signed in. They are needed for the site to work.
• A time zone cookie, so your daily review turns over at your own midnight.
• Browser storage for your progress when you are not signed in, your sound settings and the random visitor identifier.

We use no advertising cookies and no third-party trackers.

Why we may use it

• To give you the course and keep your account: that is the service you asked for.
• To email you about new chapters: only with your consent, which you can withdraw.
• To remind you by email on days when a review is waiting: part of the course you signed up for. You choose the time, or turn the reminders off, on your account page.
• To measure use and fix errors: our legitimate interest in running the site.

Where it is kept

The site and its database are hosted by Google Cloud in the European Union. Sign-in emails are sent through an email delivery service acting on our behalf. Payments are processed by Paddle.com, which acts as an independent controller for the data it needs to take payment, calculate tax and prevent fraud; its privacy notice is on paddle.com.

How long

Your account and progress are kept until you delete your account. Your email for news is kept until you unsubscribe; after that, it stays marked as unsubscribed, so we never write to you again by mistake. Ask us and we delete it altogether. Usage events are kept for as long as they help us improve the course.

Stopping our emails

Every email we send has a link to stop it: the news about new chapters and the review reminders each have their own. It works in one click and needs no password. Your email program may also show its own unsubscribe button, which does the same.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your data, and object to its use. To delete your account and its progress, write to us from the address of that account. For anything else, write to [email protected]. You may also complain to your data protection authority.
