Privacy Policy — By Heart

Last updated: July 28, 2026

By Heart is one of the Derekh Learning family of companion apps. It has no account and no sign-in. This page explains exactly what this specific app does — and does not do — with your information. For the company-wide policy covering our website, web app, and main iOS app, see the Derekh Learning Privacy Policy.

What By Heart collects

Nothing. By Heart makes no network connections at all — not on first launch, not ever. The App Store privacy label is Data Not Collected.

Where your data lives

All forty-two texts are bundled inside the app. Your progress, levels, and which texts you've turned on stay on your device, with an optional backup to your own iCloud (Apple's key-value storage). We have no access to that.

Services this app connects to

None. This app works entirely offline. The read-aloud voice is the iPhone's own built-in Hebrew speech, running on your device.

Permissions

This app requests no system permissions.

No accounts, no analytics, no ads

This app has no login and no user account. It contains no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs, and it does not track you across other apps or websites. There is no advertising identifier (IDFA) use.

Children's privacy

This app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to address it.

Data retention

Because this app keeps your information on your device, we do not hold it. Data stored on your device is removed when you delete the app (subject to any device or iCloud backups, which are under your control).

Your choices

You can manage any permissions this app uses (such as location or microphone) at any time in iOS Settings, and the app keeps working without them wherever possible. Deleting the app removes its on-device data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this page from time to time. When we do, we will change the "last updated" date at the top.
