1. Scope
This policy explains how the HanziAgain app for iPhone and iPad, this website, and support email handle information. “We,” “us,” and “HanziAgain” refer to the developer of HanziAgain.
2. Information stored by the app
HanziAgain stores the following information locally in its app container:
- handwriting drawings and saved Studio works, including name-seal text;
- practice attempts, scores, dates, and saved drawing snapshots;
- preferences and presentation choices such as theme, voice, work size, guides, paper, seal, and mounting; and
- the bundled offline character catalog and source-license metadata.
The app does not transmit that information to the developer or to a HanziAgain server. Stroke guidance and full-character recognition are performed on device.
3. Studio Lifetime purchase
Studio Lifetime is an optional, one-time in-app purchase processed by Apple. HanziAgain asks StoreKit whether the Apple Account has a current entitlement so purchased features can be unlocked. HanziAgain does not receive or store payment-card details and does not send purchase information to a HanziAgain server. Apple's handling of App Store purchases is governed by Apple's privacy policy and account settings.
4. Photos, sharing, and external links
HanziAgain asks for permission to add an exported PNG to Photos only when you choose that action. PNG and SVG sharing uses Apple's system share sheet, so you choose the destination and that provider's terms apply. Optional data-source and license links open third-party websites governed by their own policies.
5. This website
This website does not provide an account, submit forms, run advertising, or intentionally use analytics or tracking cookies. It is hosted by Vercel. Like most web hosts, Vercel may process technical request data needed to deliver and protect the site, such as an IP address, request time, browser or device headers, and the requested URL. Vercel handles that information under its privacy notice and security practices.
6. Email and support
Contact links on this site open your email app; they do not submit data through the website. If you email us, we receive the address and content you choose to send. We use it to answer the request, investigate an issue, or consider feedback. Please do not send sensitive personal information or private handwriting samples unless they are necessary for support.
7. Retention, deletion, and choices
In the app, you can delete saved Studio works and clear selected or all practice-history records. Deleting HanziAgain removes remaining local app data subject to the device's normal backup and deletion behavior. Because there is no HanziAgain account or server-side app profile, there is no remote handwriting record for us to access or delete.
Support email is retained only as reasonably needed to resolve the request, keep ordinary business records, prevent abuse, or meet legal obligations. You may ask us to delete support correspondence by emailing contact@hanziagain.com. We may need to retain limited records where required by law.
8. Children
The app does not require a child—or anyone else—to create an account or send personal information to us. If a parent or guardian believes a child sent personal information through support email, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
9. Changes and contact
We will update this policy before materially changing how HanziAgain handles information, and we will keep the App Store privacy disclosure consistent with the distributed app version. Questions or privacy requests can be sent to contact@hanziagain.com.
