Hey! Before I trust your site with my data - who are you? Your HN account seems to have been created only to present this one project. Do you have a website, or are you on Twitter or anything? Who is the legal entitiy referred to in "© 2023 LearnLingo. All rights reserved."?

Hello! I'm Callum, a solo developer based in Australia. This is my first project, though I have been lurking around HN for a while now. A privacy policy is in the works and will be put out for display ASAP.

This approach seems kind of backwards. You should move into legally safe waters first, and then go public. It is good, that it is in the works though.
