6. Cookies, Tracking, and Advertising
We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and improve platform functionality. For detailed information about our cookie practices, please see our Cookie Policy.
Advertising Networks
LanguageKnow displays advertisements to support platform operations. Our only advertising providers today are Google AdSense on the website and Google AdMob in our mobile apps; we do not use any other advertising network. Networks we may consider in the future include:
- Meta Audience Network (Facebook/Instagram)
- Amazon Publisher Services
- Microsoft Advertising
- Media.net, AdThrive, Mediavine, and other premium ad networks
On our website, Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites, and to measure ad effectiveness.
Advertising in Our Mobile Apps
Our mobile apps request non-personalized ads from Google AdMob for every user. Our iOS app does not request access to your device's advertising identifier; if a future version does, it will first ask through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. For users in the European Union and the United Kingdom, the apps also present Google's consent prompt (UMP) as required under GDPR. No advertising or tracking cookies are set inside the native apps.
Users Under 18
We do not show ads, on the website or in our apps, to signed-in users whose date of birth shows they are under 18.
Family-Safe Advertising
All advertising on LanguageKnow is family-safe. Ad content is limited to a general or parental-guidance rating, and sensitive ad categories are blocked.
Opting Out of Personalized Ads
You can opt out of personalized advertising through the following methods:
- Google Ads Settings
- Digital Advertising Alliance - Industry-wide opt-out
- Network Advertising Initiative

7. Donations
LanguageKnow accepts voluntary donations to support platform development and language preservation efforts. Donation processing is handled by secure third-party payment processors. We collect only the information necessary to process your donation and provide receipts. Donation history may be retained for accounting and tax purposes.
8. Future Paid Services
LanguageKnow may introduce paid features, subscription plans, or premium services in the future. If you choose to subscribe or purchase services, we will collect payment information necessary to process transactions. This information is handled by secure, PCI-compliant payment processors. We will notify users of any significant changes to our service model.
9. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
LanguageKnow complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We take special precautions to protect the privacy of children under 13 years of age.
For Children Under 13:
- We require verifiable parental consent before collecting any personal information
- Parents can review, delete, or refuse further collection of their child's data
- We collect only information necessary for educational activities
- We do not condition participation on disclosure of more information than necessary
- Age-appropriate content filtering is automatically applied
- Children under 13 are not shown ads, and their information is not used for ad tracking
- Recording features for pronunciation practice are not available on accounts of children under 13
Retention of Children's Information. We collect a child's personal information only to provide the learning service the parent has agreed to: account details (username, date of birth and country) to run the account and apply age protections; learning progress, quiz results and certificates to record learning; and AI conversation history to provide personalized practice. We keep this information only as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes, and never indefinitely: account details, learning progress, quiz results and certificates while the account is in use, and we delete them within 30 days after the account has had no sign in for 12 months; AI conversation history for 12 months after the conversation, or until the account is deleted if that is sooner; voice recordings are not collected, because recording features are not available on children's accounts; parental consent records while the child's account exists and for 12 months after it is deleted, so that we can show consent was given. When a parent makes a verified deletion request, we delete the child's information within 30 days.
Parental Rights:
- Review your child's personal information
- Request deletion of your child's data
- Refuse to allow any further collection or use
- Agree to collection and use without agreeing to third-party disclosure
To submit parental consent or exercise your parental rights, please visit our Parental Consent Form or contact us at support@languageknow.com.

12. Our Representative in the European Union, the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom
KOMS Services LLC is based in the United States and has no establishment in the European Union, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom. As Article 27 of the General Data Protection Regulation and of the United Kingdom GDPR requires, we have appointed Data Protection Representative Limited, trading as DataRep, as our representative in those places.
If you live in the European Union, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you and the data protection supervisory authorities may contact DataRep, in addition to or instead of us, about any matter relating to the processing of your personal data and the exercise of your rights.
