This Privacy Policy explains how Learn Japanese - Hiragana Neko ("the app", "we") handles information when you use it. In short: the app does not collect, store on our servers, or share any personal information. Everything you do in the app stays on your device.
1. Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal information. The app has no user accounts, no sign-in, and no servers of its own. The release version of the app does not request internet access, so it cannot send your information anywhere.
2. Information Stored on Your Device
To make the app work, the following information is saved only on your device, in the app's private storage:
- Learning progress: completed lessons, experience points (XP), learned characters, answer statistics per character, review schedule, achievements, and game high scores.
- Settings: chosen language, sound and music preferences, stroke checking level, and study reminder time.
This information never leaves your device through the app. We cannot see it and do not have a copy of it.
3. Device Features the App Uses
- Text-to-speech: To pronounce Japanese characters, the app passes the character or word to your device's built-in text-to-speech engine (for example, Google Text-to-Speech on Android or the system voice on iOS). That engine is provided by your device manufacturer or operating system and is covered by its own privacy policy.
- Notifications (optional): If you enable the daily study reminder, the app asks for permission to show notifications and schedules a local reminder on your device. No server is involved. You can turn it off at any time in the app's settings or your device settings.
- Restart after reboot: On Android, the app is allowed to run briefly after the device restarts, only to reschedule your study reminder if you have enabled it.
- Vibration: Used for short feedback when you answer questions.
4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share any information because we do not collect any personal information.
5. Advertising and Analytics
The app currently contains no advertising, no analytics, and no third-party tracking. If this changes in a future version (for example, to offer optional advertising or a paid upgrade), we will update this policy before that version is released and explain what information is collected and why.
