Privacy policy

Data we do not collect

Marlek is labeled "Data Not Collected" on the App Store. We do not gather, store, or transmit any personal information. Specifically, Marlek does not:

• ask you to create an account or sign in;
• ask for your name, email, phone number, or location;
• use ads or advertising networks;
• include analytics, telemetry, or third-party tracking SDKs;
• send your text to any server — ours or anyone else's.

Everything happens on your device

Translation between Spanish and Marlek happens entirely on your iPhone or iPad, using a fixed cipher table bundled with the app. The text you type never leaves your device. No internet connection is required to translate.

Favorites: local to your device

If you save translations as favorites, they are stored only on the device where you saved them. In this version (1.0), favorites do not sync to iCloud or across devices, and we have no access to them.

Syncing favorites through your own iCloud (private and end-to-end, handled by Apple) is planned for a future version (1.1). When it arrives it will be optional, and the data will still be out of our reach.

The Marlek keyboard

Marlek includes a system keyboard that lets you write Marlek inside other apps. This keyboard works without "Full Access": it only converts what you type into Marlek. It does not log keystrokes, does not save what you write, and has no network access. It cannot see or send your text anywhere.

Children and families

Marlek is meant for playful use between friends and family. Because we collect no data from anyone, we collect no data from minors either. There are no profiles, no advertising, and no external content.

Who publishes Marlek

Marlek is published by KHASSINX LLC (a Florida limited liability company) as the App Store publisher. The Marlek language and its cipher are the work of its creator, publicly credited as Slime@YT.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes (for example, when optional iCloud sync is added), we will update this page and the date above. Material changes will also be reflected on the App Store listing.
