Privacy Policy — Travel Chinese

1) Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the Travel Chinese mobile application. The app is designed with a privacy-first approach and minimizes data usage wherever possible.

2) No Account Required

Travel Chinese does not require account registration. You can use the app without providing your name, email address, or personal profile.

3) On-Device Processing

Core learning features—including lessons, saved phrases, pronunciation practice, and AI chat—are processed directly on your device. Learning data is stored locally and is not uploaded to our servers.

4) Advertising

Travel Chinese displays ads provided by third-party advertising services (such as Google Mobile Ads) to support free features of the app.

• Advertising may use a device advertising identifier.
• Ads may be personalized or non-personalized depending on your consent.
• The app does not access personal content such as messages, photos, or contacts.

5) Tracking & Consent

In regions where required by law (such as the European Economic Area), the app requests consent before showing ads. On iOS, you may also be asked for permission to allow app tracking.

You can change your consent or tracking preferences at any time in your device settings.

6) Device Permissions

• Microphone: used for speaking and pronunciation practice (processed locally).
• Local Storage: used to save lessons and progress on your device.
• Notifications: optional reminders to practice.

7) Data Sharing

Travel Chinese does not sell user data. Limited data may be processed by third-party advertising partners solely for ad delivery and measurement.

8) Data Retention

Learning data remains on your device. You can delete the app at any time to remove all locally stored data.

9) Children’s Privacy

Travel Chinese is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

10) Policy Changes

This policy may be updated from time to time. Changes will be published within the app or on our website.
