Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 2026
1. Introduction
Ordvana is a vocabulary training app developed and published by Daraxis in Sweden. It is built to work entirely on your device. Ordvana was previously called Glosa - same app, same policy.
2. What We Collect
Nothing. Ordvana has no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking. The app does not transmit any data off your device - it does not even use the internet.
3. Your Data
- The word pages, quiz progress, and settings you create are stored only locally on your device.
- If you use Export/Backup, a file is either saved to a folder you pick on your device, or handed to the app you choose (email, cloud drive, etc.). From the moment you hand it to another app, the file is governed by that app's privacy policy - Ordvana never sees or stores a copy.
- Deleting the app (or using Settings → Delete all data) removes all data from the device. Your words may also be included in your device's own backup: Google's backup on Android, iCloud or a computer backup on iPhone and iPad. Those backups are controlled by your device settings, and Daraxis has no access to them. A copy kept in such a backup stays there until the backup is replaced or deleted.
4. Notifications
Practice reminders are optional, off by default, scheduled locally on your device, and can be turned off at any time in the app's Settings or in your system settings.
5. Permissions
- Notifications (optional) - only to show the practice reminders you asked for.
- Run at startup (Android) - so a reminder you set is still there after the phone restarts.
- Vibration (Android) - for the short buzz when a quiz answer is right or wrong, which you can turn off in Settings.
The last two are granted when the app is installed and are never asked for in a prompt. Ordvana uses no other permissions: no location, no contacts, no camera, no microphone, and no storage access beyond its own private folder and the files you pick yourself when importing or saving a backup.
6. Children
Ordvana collects no data from anyone, including children.
7. Your Rights (GDPR)
Because Ordvana stores all data locally on your device and transmits nothing, there is no personal data held by Daraxis to access, rectify, or erase. Deleting the app removes everything from your device. If you have questions or wish to lodge a complaint, you can contact [email protected] or the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) at imy.se.
8. Website Analytics & Cookies (daraxis.com only)
This section applies to this website (daraxis.com) only, not to the Ordvana app itself. The app uses no analytics of any kind.
We use Google Analytics 4 and the associated Google Ads tag to understand website traffic and measure the performance of our advertising. Nothing is loaded from Google until you consent: on your first visit a banner asks you to Accept or Decline, and until you press Accept this website sets no analytics or advertising cookies and sends nothing to Google. Accepting allows traffic statistics and the measurement of our advertising; it does not allow personalised advertising. Google Analytics deletes the data after at most 14 months. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer. The full notice is on Website privacy and cookies. For this processing, Google Ireland Limited acts as our data processor; see Google's Privacy Policy.
9. Governing Law
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Sweden. The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY).
10. Changes to This Policy
If a future version of Ordvana ever changes any of the above (for example an optional cloud backup), this policy will be updated before that version ships, and the change will be clearly described in the app store release notes and by the "Last Updated" date above.
