Built to learn Latin,
not to learn about you.

I. Dictionary and passage analysis

When you choose to look up a word, Verbum sends that word and the selected translation direction to latin.30twelve.org. The service processes the word to return dictionary and morphology information. Search words are not retained in application logs, proxy logs, recent-search feeds, or analytics.

Sentence parsing sends the sentence you explicitly submit to the same service. It is processed to return the requested analysis and is not retained.

After you choose Latin-to-English or English-to-Latin, crop a passage, and choose Use passage, the normalized source words inside that selection are sent in batches to the matching dictionary service. Verbum uses the response for dictionary results, morphology, and literal Interlinear help. Correcting a recognized word sends only that corrected word for a replacement lookup.

Interlinear reuses the dictionary results returned for the passage. It does not send the passage to an AI service or create a polished sentence translation.

Search terms, submitted sentences, and passage words are processed for the requested response and are not retained in application logs, proxy logs, recent-search feeds, or analytics.

II. Camera and photo library

Passage Scan uses Apple Vision text recognition on your device. Verbum does not upload the photograph. OCR bounding boxes, photographed line positions, and crop geometry also remain on your device.

Camera and photo-library access are requested only when you use Passage Scan. Verbum does not record audio.

III. Product analytics

Verbum sends a small set of first-party product events so the developer can understand whether lookup, scanning, purchasing, and restoration work correctly. An event may include:

• A random installation identifier generated by the app
• App and build version
• Feature entry point and success or error outcome
• Coarse duration and count ranges
• The Verbum Pro product identifier and purchase outcome

Events never contain searched words, sentences, recognized text, photographs, definitions, clipboard text, advertising identifiers, email addresses, or precise device models.

The server stores an irreversible keyed hash of the installation identifier, not the identifier itself. Individual event rows are deleted after 90 days. Anonymous daily totals may be retained longer.

IV. Purchases

Verbum Pro is a non-consumable purchase handled by Apple through StoreKit. Apple processes payment information. Verbum checks StoreKit purchase history to unlock the feature and does not receive your full payment-card information.

Purchase analytics contain only the Verbum Pro product identifier and a coarse outcome such as success, cancellation, pending, failure, or restore-not-found. They do not contain transaction receipts or payment details.

V. Data stored on your device

Your theme choice, last selected dictionary and scanner direction, search history, flashcards, free-scan usage, Interlinear preview usage, and an offline entitlement cache are stored on your device. Verbum also keeps up to 20 recent successful lookup results on your device for up to seven days so repeated searches can load faster. This result cache expires automatically and is never sent to product analytics.

Search history, cached dictionary results, and flashcards can be cleared in Verbum. Free-scan usage and the random installation identifier use Keychain-backed secure storage paired with an installation marker. StoreKit entitlement information may remain available through Apple after reinstalling so purchases can be restored.

VI. Sharing and retention

Verbum does not sell data or share data for advertising. Data is disclosed only when required by law or when necessary for infrastructure providers to operate the Verbum dictionary service.

VII. Changes and contact

This policy may change as Verbum changes. Material updates will appear here with a new effective date.
