Privacy Policy for Verbum

Last updated: January 18, 2026

Overview

Verbum is a Latin to English dictionary app. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how our app works.

Information We Collect

Camera Access

Verbum accesses your device's camera to scan and recognize Latin text. All text recognition is performed locally on your device using Google ML Kit. No images or photos are uploaded to external servers. Camera data is processed entirely on-device and is not stored.

Dictionary Lookups

When you look up a Latin word, the word you searched is sent to our dictionary service to retrieve the definition. We retain limited server logs for operational and debugging purposes for up to 30 days.

Information We Do Not Collect

Third-Party Services

Google ML Kit: We use Google ML Kit for on-device text recognition. This processing happens entirely on your device. For more information, see Google ML Kit Terms.

Children's Privacy

Verbum does not knowingly collect personal information from children. The app is suitable for users of all ages as it does not collect any personal data.

Data Security

We minimize the data we retain. Any server-side logs are retained for no longer than 30 days, are not linked to personal identities, and exist only to ensure the reliability and security of the service. Text recognition and camera processing occur entirely on your device.
