Privacy Policy
Effective October 21, 2026
The short version
- You can use Hebrew in Context as a guest. Guest progress stays on your phone.
- If you create an account, we store your email, display name and learning progress so it syncs across devices.
- We use Google Analytics for Firebase to see how the app is used, and Firebase Crashlytics to fix crashes.
- Google Play handles all payments. We never see your card details.
- We do not sell your data or show ads.
- You can delete your account and cloud data at any time.
This policy explains how Workbench LLC, doing business as WorkBench Studios ("we", "us"), handles information in the Hebrew in Context mobile app (the "App") and on our website at studio.workbenchhq.app (the "Site"). By using the App or the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

You can read how Google uses data from apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and Firebase's privacy information at firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or as part of a sale or transfer of our business, in which case this policy will continue to apply to your information.

Depending on where you live, including California and the European Economic Area, you may have additional rights to know, access, correct, delete or port your data, and to object to or restrict processing. Contact us to exercise any of them. We will not treat you differently for doing so.
Our website
The Site does not use advertising or tracking cookies. When you join early access, we store the email address you enter, which app you signed up for, whether you want to test, and the time you signed up. Our hosting provider records standard server logs, such as IP address and browser type, to keep the Site secure and running.
Children
Hebrew in Context is intended for users 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, email us and we will delete it. Families with younger children can learn together using a parent's account.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit and stored with Google Cloud, which encrypts data at rest. Access to our systems is limited to the people who need it to run the App. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International users
We are based in the United States, and our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. By using the App, you understand that your information may be processed outside your country.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and let you know in the App or by email before the changes take effect.
