Cairo Street — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 November 2026

In short: Cairo Street does not collect your personal data. Your learning stays on your own phone. There are no accounts, no ads and no tracking. The only information that leaves your phone is what is needed to check a Premium subscription (see "Subscriptions" below).

What stays on your phone

To remember your learning, the app saves these things only on your device:

your progress: lessons finished, points, streaks, words learned and review cards;
your settings, such as how the app should talk to you (as a man or a woman) and which voice reads words;
what you write in the app, such as your Arabic diary.

We never receive this information. If you delete the app, it is deleted from your phone.

Microphone and your recordings

The app asks to use your microphone only so you can record yourself speaking Arabic and compare your voice with a native speaker's. Recordings are kept on your phone (for example, your voice notes and time capsule) and are never uploaded or sent to anyone. You can say no to microphone access; the rest of the app still works.

Reminders

If you turn on daily reminders, the app schedules them on your phone. No reminder data leaves your device.

Voices

The Egyptian voices are recordings included inside the app. When a recording isn't available, the app uses your phone's built-in text-to-speech, which runs on your device.

No accounts, ads or tracking

Cairo Street has no sign-in, shows no ads, and uses no analytics or tracking tools. We do not sell or share your data for advertising.

Subscriptions (Cairo Street Premium)

Payments are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see your name, email or payment details.

To know whether you have Premium, the app uses RevenueCat, a service that checks App Store subscriptions. RevenueCat receives a random anonymous ID created by the app, your purchase history in Cairo Street (which plan, when it started and renews), and basic technical details such as your country, app version and device type. This is used only to unlock Premium and restore it on a new phone, never for advertising or tracking. RevenueCat's privacy policy.

You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions.

Children

The app does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
