The “Icelandic for Persian” app

Controller: Persaland Félagið, kt. 530526-3050, Áshamri 44, 221 Hafnarfjörður, Iceland. Contact: info@persaland.is

The app needs no account. Only the members-only parts ask you to sign in with your persaland.is membership account: dictation, the inflection drill, the letter-pair drill and the Colloquial Icelandic companion. If you sign in, the association’s server stores:

• The email address and username of your membership account (as already registered on the website).
• For each device: a random install identifier created by the app, stored only as a one-way hash; the device type (phone or computer); the operating system name; and the times of first and last use.
• Your learning progress in the app: sections read, quiz scores, flashcard reviews, starred words, study days and your last lesson.
• The version and time at which you accepted the terms of use.

Why: to check your membership, to limit each account to one phone and one computer, and to sync your progress between your devices.

Legal basis: your membership of the association, and the consent you give when you sign in to the app.

Where: the association’s server at Hetzner in Finland (EU). The data is not sold or shared, and is not used for advertising or analytics. Your IP address is not stored; it is held in the server’s memory for a few minutes only, to slow down password guessing.

How long: a device record is deleted when you sign out on that device, or when a new device of the same kind replaces it. Your progress and terms acceptance are kept until you choose “Delete synced data” in the app (Settings, under “Persaland members”), or until your membership account is deleted.

Your rights: access, correction, deletion and objection. Write to info@persaland.is. You may also complain to Persónuvernd, the Icelandic Data Protection Authority (personuvernd.is).
