Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 1, 2026

Introduction

HyperSense ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service").

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and display name. If you sign in through a third-party provider (such as Apple or Google), we receive your name and email from that provider.

Usage Data

We collect information about how you use the Service, including the number of lookups performed, features used, and general usage patterns. This helps us improve the Service and manage subscription limits.

Camera and Lookup Data

HyperSense uses on-device text recognition to identify words directly from the camera viewfinder. We do not take or store photos of what you scan. Only the recognized text is sent to our servers to return definitions and translations, and it may be retained temporarily for caching purposes.

Favorites and Sync Data

If you save words to your favorites, we store those words and associated metadata (definitions, translations) in your account to enable syncing across your devices. You can delete individual favorites at any time, and all favorites are removed if you delete your account.

Website Analytics

Our marketing website (hypersenseapp.com) uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate visitor behavior — pages viewed, referral sources, approximate geographic region, and device type. We anonymize IP addresses and do not link this data to your HyperSense account or any personal identity. You can opt out using browser-level tools such as the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by enabling Do Not Track in your browser. Analytics is not used inside the iOS app for marketing purposes.

How We Use Your Information

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
  • Process transactions and manage subscriptions
  • Send important service-related communications
  • Enforce usage limits based on your subscription tier
  • Analyze usage patterns to improve features and performance
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with third-party service providers who help us operate the Service (such as payment processors and authentication providers), but only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and at rest. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@hypersenseapp.com.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting a notice within the app or sending you an email. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
