Privacy

The short version

• *There is no account. The app never asks for your name or your email.
• *No ads, no analytics, no tracking.
• *Your progress lives on your phone, not with us.
• *A question you ask Ani is sent off to be answered. We do not keep it.
• *Apple takes the payment. We never see your card.

What stays on your phone

Lessons you finished, the words you are reviewing and how each review went, your streak, your settings (language, reminder time, why you are learning), the words you saved, and your last 100 messages with Ani.

None of this is sent to us, apart from what the next section describes. If you back up your phone, Apple’s backup may include it.

To erase it: Settings, then Reset my progress removes your words, reviews, streak and the conversation with Ani. Deleting the app removes everything.

When you ask Ani

Ani is an AI tutor, so answering means sending text to a server. Each question carries:

• the question you typed, and the last two exchanges so she can follow the conversation
• the language of the app, and whether you can read Armenian letters yet
• where you are in the course, and the word or sentence you opened her from
• up to 200 of the words you have learned, so she answers with words you know

When Ani checks an answer you typed in an exercise, she gets what you typed and what was expected.

This goes to our server and from there to an AI provider: Google (Gemini), or Anthropic (Claude) when Google is unavailable. They process it to write the answer, under their own terms. Our server does not store the conversation.

Please do not put anything private in a question. Ani does not need it to explain a verb.

Counting questions

Questions to Ani are limited per day, so the server has to count. It does that against an anonymous identifier, a random string that says nothing about who you are. It keeps:

• how many questions and answer checks that identifier used today
• how many bought messages it has used
• whether it has Mi Qich Pro or a message pack, looked up from the purchase service and kept for up to 30 days
• for free use only, a shortened one-way hash of the IP address, kept for about a day, to stop one phone posing as many

These counters are stored with Upstash, a database host.

Purchases

Subscriptions and message packs are bought through Apple, with your Apple ID. We do not receive your name, your email or your card.

RevenueCat, a purchase service, tells the app and our server what the anonymous identifier has bought. That is all it knows about you from us.

Sounds

Most recordings are inside the app. Some are loaded from a content delivery network (Bunny) when you first play them. Like any download, that request shows your IP address to the network.

If a recording does not exist yet, the Armenian text is sent to our server and to a speech provider (Google) to be spoken, then saved for everyone. That text can include Armenian words from one of Ani’s answers. It is never linked to you.

Reminders and the microphone

The daily reminder is scheduled on your phone. No notification token is sent to us, and we cannot send you a message.

The app does not record you. Nothing in the released app listens.

What we do not do

• Show ads, or share anything with advertisers.
• Use analytics or crash-reporting services.
• Follow you across other apps or websites.
• Sell data. There is nothing here to sell.

This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics. Our servers keep error logs, and a hosting provider may record IP addresses for a short time to keep the service running.

Children

Mi Qich is written for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect anything from them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to see, correct or delete data about you, or to object to how it is used. Because there is no account, most of what exists is already in your hands, on your phone.

For the counters on our server, write to support@miqich.com and we will delete them. We may need the identifier from your app to find them.

Changes and contact

If this page changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and the app will say so. Questions: support@miqich.com.
