Introduction
Welcome to Kamila. ASLAN GLOBAL BILGISAYAR YAZILIM VE OZEL EGITIM KURUMLARI ANONIM SIRKETI ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use the Kamila mobile app (the "App").
Kamila is an AI-powered speaking-practice app built for English learners. The App is designed to help users move past passive, memorization-based English study and into active, spoken use of the language.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with its terms, please do not access the App. Alongside this Privacy Policy, please also read our Terms of Service (EULA).
Information we collect
2.1 Account information
To use the App, we may collect the following basic information:
- Name and email address (for account creation)
- Profile information (optional)
- Your learning preferences and level
2.2 Microphone permission & voice data
Kamila needs microphone access to let you practice spoken English. This permission is required for the App's core functionality.
Important information about microphone use:
- While you hold the microphone button, your voice is recorded and sent to Google Cloud to be transcribed into text.
- The transcribed text is sent to OpenAI to generate a reply and to produce that reply's spoken voice.
- This sharing only happens after you give explicit, in-app permission.
- Voice recordings are not retained permanently on our own servers — they are deleted once processing is complete.
- You can withdraw this permission at any time from Settings inside the App.
You can also revoke microphone access at any time from your device settings. If you do, voice-practice features become unavailable, but you can still practice by typing.
2.3 Usage data
To improve the App, we may collect the following usage data:
- Which features you use
- Your learning progress and achievements
- Your in-app preferences
