Data processed
This website does not set tracking cookies. Server logs (IP address, timestamp, user agent) are processed for technical delivery.
By default, the VokabelNinja app stores all learning data (vocabulary, progress, settings) exclusively on your device. No user accounts are required and no learning data is transmitted to our servers.
Optional AI feature (photo vocabulary import)
Starting with version 1.1.0, VokabelNinja offers an optional feature that lets you take a photo (e.g. of a textbook page) and automatically extract vocabulary pairs from it. This feature is disabled by default and is only activated if you explicitly use it and enter your own OpenAI API key in the settings.
Each time you use this feature, the following data is transmitted to OpenAI's servers:
- the photo you have taken or selected,
- the OpenAI API key you have stored (used to authenticate against OpenAI).
The text content extracted by OpenAI is transmitted back to the app. The transmission is encrypted (HTTPS) and goes directly from your device to OpenAI. We ourselves do not receive, store or process either the photos or the extracted text. Your OpenAI API key is stored exclusively in encrypted form in the iOS keychain or the Android keystore on your device.
The provider, acting as the independent controller for this processing, is:
OpenAI, L.L.C., 3180 18th Street, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA

Because the processing takes place in the USA, it constitutes a transfer to a third country. OpenAI is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; in addition, Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR are in place.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a feature actively requested by you). You can stop this processing at any time by deleting your OpenAI API key in the settings — afterwards the feature is disabled and no further data is transmitted.
