Nelligan app privacy policy

Privacy Policy — Nelligan

Effective Date: April 24, 2026

The short version: Nelligan collects no data whatsoever. Everything stays on your device.

1. Introduction

Nelligan is a poem learning application designed to help users memorize and appreciate poetry. The App was built with privacy as a foundational principle: it operates entirely on your device, with no data transmitted to us or any third party.

This policy is written to comply with applicable privacy laws in the United States, Canada (including Québec), and the European Union.

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect, process, transmit, store, or share any personal information or usage data of any kind.

Specifically, the App does not collect:

Personal identifiers (name, email address, phone number, device ID)
Usage data, analytics, or behavioral data
Location data
Payment or financial information
User-generated content (poems, notes, progress)
Device information or technical logs
Crash reports or diagnostics
Cookies or tracking identifiers

All content you create within the App — including saved poems, memorization progress, and preferences — is stored exclusively on your device and is never transmitted anywhere.

3. Local Data Storage

The App stores data locally on your device using standard iOS/Android local storage mechanisms. This data includes your poem library, learning progress, and app settings. This data:

Never leaves your device
Is not accessible to us or any third party
Is deleted when you uninstall the App
May be included in your device’s standard backup (iCloud, Google Backup) — these backups are governed by Apple’s or Google’s own privacy policies, not ours

4. Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate any third-party SDKs, analytics tools, advertising networks, or tracking libraries. We do not use:

Analytics platforms (Google Analytics, Firebase, Mixpanel, etc.)
Advertising networks
Social media integrations
Crash reporting services
Cloud storage or sync services

No third party receives any data about your use of the App.

5. U.S. Privacy Disclosures

California — CCPA / CPRA

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act, California residents have rights regarding their personal information. Because we collect no personal information, these rights have no practical application in the context of this App. We do not sell or share personal information. We do not use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Children’s Online Privacy — COPPA

The App does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. No parental consent is required or solicited.

Other U.S. State Privacy Laws

Privacy laws in Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), and other states grant rights over personal data. Since we collect none, there is no personal data to access, correct, delete, or opt out of selling.

6. Canadian Privacy Disclosures

PIPEDA and Federal Law

The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) governs how organizations collect, use, and disclose personal information in commercial activity. Because Nelligan collects no personal information, no obligations under PIPEDA are triggered.

Québec — Loi 25 (Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector)

Québec’s Law 25 imposes strict obligations on organizations that collect and process personal information, including privacy impact assessments, breach notification, and data governance. As Nelligan collects no personal information, these obligations do not apply and no privacy impact assessment is required.

Québec residents have no personal data to request access to, correction of, or deletion of, as none is held.

Alberta and British Columbia

Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and British Columbia’s PIPA are substantially similar to PIPEDA. The same reasoning applies: we collect no personal information and are not subject to obligations under these Acts.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the EU/EEA. Because Nelligan collects and processes no personal data, the GDPR’s substantive obligations are not triggered.

Legal Basis for Processing

We have no legal basis to identify because we do not process personal data.

Data Subject Rights

The GDPR grants individuals rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. Since we hold no personal data, there is no data against which to exercise these rights. You may contact us with any questions (see Contact).

Data Transfers

No personal data is transferred outside the EEA or to any third country, as no personal data is collected or processed.

Data Protection Officer

Given the complete absence of personal data processing, appointment of a Data Protection Officer is not required.

The UK GDPR mirrors the EU GDPR in most material respects. The same analysis applies: Nelligan does not collect or process personal data, and no obligations under the UK GDPR are triggered.

9. Security

Because all data is stored locally on your device, its security depends on your device’s own security features (screen lock, encryption, biometric authentication). We encourage you to use your device’s built-in security measures.

Nelligan has no servers, databases, or back-end infrastructure that could be breached to expose your information.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this document. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Because we collect no data, any future changes to this policy are likely to reflect changes in applicable law rather than changes in our data practices.
