Overview

HanziQuest is a Chinese character learning app designed as a local-first experience. You can use the app without creating an online account.

Information we use

HanziQuest does not use third-party analytics, advertising identifiers, location, microphone recordings, or tracking SDKs.

  • If you choose Sign in with Apple, Apple may provide a private account identifier, a name, and an email address or private relay address.
  • If you select a profile photo, the app uses only the photo you select through the system photo picker.
  • Learning progress, review history, favorites, study activity, and preferences are stored locally on your device.

iCloud and account sync

If you connect with Apple and iCloud is available, HanziQuest can sync your profile, selected avatar, learning progress, review history, favorites, study activity, and preferences to your private CloudKit database. This data is associated with your Apple account and is not placed in a public database.

Purchases

In-app purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. HanziQuest does not receive your full payment-card details. Purchase entitlement information is used only to determine whether Lifetime Access is unlocked.

Third-party services

The app uses Apple services when you choose the related features, including Sign in with Apple, CloudKit, the system photo picker, and App Store in-app purchases. HanziQuest does not sell personal information.

Data deletion

You can delete local learning progress from Settings → Reset Progress. Connected users can open Me → Apple Account → Delete Account and Data to delete HanziQuest data from the private CloudKit database and remove the local profile, avatar, progress, review history, favorites, and preferences. Signing out keeps local learning data unless you choose deletion.

Children's privacy

HanziQuest is designed for general and adult beginner learners. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through advertising or analytics.

Policy changes and contact

We may update this policy when app features change. Questions about support or privacy can be sent to hanzhe819@gmail.com.
