¿Qué más? is a context-aware Spanish phrasebook and translator for Medellín. It is organized around the situation you are actually in — a café, a taxi, the doctor — and it answers in the Spanish people use here, in the register you would really use.

It is built to work without an account, and most of it never leaves your phone. This page says plainly what happens to what it does collect.

The app is operated by Gallucci Ventures LLC, which is the company responsible for the data described here. “We” on this page means that company.

What stays on your device

Your saved phrases, the phrases you add yourself, the ones you mark as known, and your Chat Assist settings are written to your browser's local storage first. If you never sign in, that is the only place they ever exist. Clearing your browser data deletes them, and we cannot get them back for you.

If you sign in with Google

Signing in is optional. If you do, we receive from Google:

• your name, email address, and profile photo
• an account identifier that lets us recognize you next time

We never see your Google password. Sign-in is handled by Firebase Authentication, a Google service.

Once signed in, your saved phrases and your own added phrases are copied to your account so they follow you to a new phone. Your Chat Assist profile is deliberately not synced — it stays on the device it was written on.

When you use Translate or Chat Assist

Text you type into those features is sent to Anthropic's Claude API so it can be translated or rephrased. Anthropic handles it under their own terms. Do not type anything into those boxes you would not want leaving your phone — that is true of any translation tool, this one included.

Today we do not keep a copy of that text after it is answered. If that changes — see How the app learns below — we will say so here, and the date at the top will change before it starts.

Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to count page views and measure how quickly the app loads on real phones. These are cookieless and aggregate. They do not identify you and do not follow you to other sites. They tell us roughly where our users are — country and city, from the network your phone connects through — never a precise location, and never tied to your name.

We also keep our own record of how the app is used, so we can tell which parts are useful and which are not. When you open the app, open a situation or a phrase, save or unsave a phrase, search, or run Translate or Chat Assist, we record what happened, when it happened, and a random ID the app makes for your phone. That ID is not your name, your email, or anything about your device, and clearing your browser data creates a new one. If you are signed in, the record also carries your account identifier, so one person on two phones counts once.

What you search for is recorded, so we can see what people look for and do not find. Do not type anything private into a search box. For Translate and Chat Assist we record only that it was used — never what you typed and never what came back. Phrases you write yourself are never recorded. When a request fails, we keep the error type and the route for 30 days so it can be fixed; the text you typed is not part of that record.

The detailed records are deleted after 90 days. A much smaller record — only that a random ID was active on a given date — is kept, so we can count how many people use the app over months and years. You can turn this off: open the menu and switch off Share anonymous usage. From then on nothing is recorded from that phone. It does not remove what was recorded before, and it is set per phone, not per account; if you want your account's records removed, email us and see Deleting your data below.

There is no session recording, screen capture, or video replay in this app, and there will not be.

How the app learns

This app is meant to get better at the Spanish people actually need. To do that we look at patterns across everyone: which phrases get saved, what people search for and do not find, which situations get used, and roughly where in the world that is happening.

We do this in aggregate, and we do not attach your name to it. The output is “people in Medellín keep searching for a phrase we do not have,” never “this person searched for that.” We may keep and publish those aggregate findings, and we may add phrases to the library because of them.

Anything you submit to the shared library deliberately does carry your name to the people reviewing it — that is the point of a submission, and it is covered below.

Advertising

There are no ads in this app today. We may add them, and if we do they are likely to be local and relevant — a restaurant, a language school, a salsa class. We are telling you now rather than quietly later.

If that happens, two things hold. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand your identity to advertisers. Relevance would come from what we already know in aggregate — the city you are in, the kind of Spanish you use the app for — not from a profile of you sold on. We will update this page before any ad appears.

Who else sees your data

We do not sell your personal information. Three services process data on our behalf: Google (sign-in and database), Vercel (hosting and analytics), and Anthropic (translation). We may add others, and we may share aggregate, non-identifying figures with partners or advertisers.

If you submit a phrase for the shared library, what you submitted is visible to the small number of people who review submissions. Your email is visible to them too. Do not submit anything private.

Deleting your data

Signing out leaves everything on your phone exactly as it is and stops the syncing. It is not a deletion.

Email us to have your account and the phrases stored with it deleted, and we will do it within a reasonable time. Some limits, so this is a real commitment rather than a slogan: we may keep what the law requires us to keep; we may decline a request that is repetitive, that we cannot verify came from the account holder, or that would expose someone else's information; aggregate figures that no longer identify you stay, because they are not about you any more; and a phrase you contributed to the shared library may remain in it, without your name.

Children

This app is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

If this changes in a way that affects what we collect, the date at the top changes with it.
