Privacy policy
Updated 6 October 2026
Chinese Idioms Almanac helps you learn Chinese idioms without creating an account. The app has no advertising, tracking, analytics SDK, or developer-operated server.
Learning data stays on your device
Favorites, reading progress, review schedules, script choice, appearance, speech speed, reminder settings, and the locally saved Pro status are stored on your device. We do not receive this information. Search is performed locally against bundled lessons. The app does not record your voice or access your microphone, contacts, photos, or location.
Purchases are handled by Apple
Apple processes the optional one-time Pro purchase. The app uses StoreKit to check your entitlement and restore purchases. We do not receive your payment details or Apple Account credentials, and the app does not send receipts or transaction information to a developer-operated server. Apple's services are governed by Apple's privacy policy.
Speech, reminders, and widgets
Pronunciation uses the speech voices available on your device; offline availability varies. Reminders are optional local notifications, scheduled only after you allow notification access. The app does not register for a remote push token. Home Screen widgets share lesson text, script choice, and access status with the app through an on-device App Group. This data is not sent to us.
Your choices and deletion
You can remove favorites, change preferences, or turn reminders off in Settings. You can also disable notification access in iPhone Settings and remove widgets from your Home Screen. Deleting the app removes its local learning record; there is no developer-held account or cloud record to delete. Device backups and restores are controlled by your Apple settings and may retain or restore local app data. Deleting the app does not cancel or refund the permanent App Store purchase, which can be restored using the same Apple Account.
Links and support
Opening a source or support link takes you to an external service governed by its own privacy policy. If you choose to email support, your email address and anything you include are received by the support operator and their email provider. Please avoid sending payment details or other sensitive information. Support correspondence is used to answer your request, is not used for advertising, and is deleted when it is no longer needed to resolve or maintain the request, unless retention is required by law.
Changes to this policy
If the app's data practices change, this policy and the App Store privacy information will be updated. The date above identifies this policy version.
