Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 31, 2026
This policy explains what data the Impuls mobile app (Android and iOS), Telegram bot, Mini App and the impulsai.uz website (together, "Impuls") collect, why they collect it, and who it is shared with. Impuls is operated by the Impuls team in Uzbekistan ("we"). Data is processed in line with the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Personal Data".
1. What we collect
Account data
Depending on how you sign in, we receive:
- Telegram: your Telegram ID, name, username and profile photo, if you have one.
- Google: your Google account identifier, name and email.
- Apple: your Apple identifier, email (which may be an Apple private relay address) and your name, if you share it.
- Guest mode: an anonymous account created on your device. No name or email is asked for.
We also store what you add to your profile yourself: name, avatar, English level, goal and exam date.
Learning data
Answers to tests and exercises, results, written work (Writing), audio recordings of spoken answers (Speaking), XP, coins, streak, vocabulary, study plan, and ranking and duel results.
Chats with the AI tutor
The text, voice messages and images you send to the AI tutor. Please do not share passwords, ID numbers or other sensitive information in AI chats.
Device and technical data
Device model, operating system, app version, interface language, time zone, IP address, push notification token, in-app activity (which screen was opened, which button was tapped), crash reports and performance measurements.
Advertising identifier
To show ads we use the Google advertising ID (AAID) on Android and IDFA on iOS. IDFA is only accessed if you allow tracking. See section 4 for details.
Permissions
The app asks for access to the microphone, camera, photos and notifications only when you use a feature that needs it. For example, the microphone is used for Speaking answers and voice messages to the AI tutor, and the camera and photos for sending a picture to the AI tutor. You can withdraw any permission in your phone settings at any time.
What we do NOT collect
We do not collect your contacts, precise location or payment card details.
2. How we use data
- To create your account, keep you signed in and sync your progress across devices.
- To check answers, estimate your level and build a personal study plan.
- To run the AI tutor: explanations and scoring of Writing and Speaking.
- To run rankings, duels and friend invitations.
- To send reminders and notifications (you can turn them off in settings).
- To find bugs, make the app faster and understand which features are useful.
- To show ads and credit coins for watched ads.
- To prevent fraud and abuse and to comply with the law.
3. Who we share data with
We do not sell your data. We share only what is needed with the services that help Impuls work:
- Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Performance Monitoring, Cloud Messaging): statistics, crash reports and push notifications. Firebase privacy
- Google Gemini / Vertex AI, with Groq as a backup provider: AI tutor answers and Writing and Speaking scoring. Text, voice and images from AI chats are sent to these services and processed under their own terms. Google privacy, Groq privacy
- Yandex Advertising Network (Yandex Mobile Ads SDK): showing ads. Yandex privacy policy
- Telegram, Google and Apple: verifying your account when you sign in with them. Telegram, Apple
What other users can see:
- In rankings and duels, other users see your shortened name (for example, "Aziz R.") and your score. You can turn off appearing in the ranking in the app settings.
- If you share a result or an invite link, anyone who opens it sees your name and result.
We may also disclose data in response to an official request from an authorized government body where the law requires it.
Some of these services are located outside Uzbekistan, so your data may be transferred abroad.
4. About ads
Impuls shows ads so that it can stay free. Here is how they work for you:
- Ads never appear on their own. For now there are only rewarded ads. When you are short of coins, a "Watch an ad · +N coins" button appears, and an ad plays only if you tap it.
- Ads never interrupt lessons, exams or voice recording.
- Ads are served by Yandex Advertising Network. To do this, the Yandex SDK receives the advertising identifier, device type, operating system, IP address and how you interact with the ad (shown, tapped). Yandex processes this under its own policy.
- On iOS, before the first ad, Apple's "Allow tracking?" prompt (App Tracking Transparency) appears. If you decline, IDFA is not shared: ads will not be personalized, and you can still earn coins.
- On Android, you can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads in Settings → Google → Ads.
- On iOS, you can change your choice later in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- Coins for a watched ad are credited by our server. For this we store a record of the view: the time and a one-time identifier. The number of ads per day is limited.
5. How long we keep data
- Account and learning data: for as long as your account exists.
- Voice messages in AI chats: 7 days, then deleted. The transcribed text stays in the chat history.
- Inbox messages: about 40 days.
- AI request logs (technical records): 30 days.
- Sign-in session: up to 60 days on the device, after which you sign in again.
- Statistics and crash reports: per Google Firebase retention periods.
When you delete your account, your data is deleted immediately. Backups roll over within 14 days, after which no copy of your data remains. Aggregated statistics that cannot identify you may be kept.
6. Deleting your account and your rights
You have the right to:
- know what data we hold about you and get a copy of it;
- have inaccurate data corrected;
- have your data deleted;
- withdraw consent (for example, to notifications, microphone access or tracking).
To delete your account in the app, go to Profile → Settings → Delete account. Without the app, use impulsai.uz/account/delete. For any other request, write to info@impulsai.uz. We reply within 30 days.
7. Security
Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Sign-in tokens are kept in the device's secure storage. Only authorized staff can access the servers. No system is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your data.
8. Children
Impuls is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you are between 13 and 16, use the app with the consent of a parent or guardian. If you learn that a child under 13 has registered, write to us and we will delete the account.
9. Changes
We may update this policy. The new version is published on this page with a new date. We will also tell you about significant changes in the app.
