Who we are

Tano: Korean Flashcards ("Tano", "the app") is made by Iryna Dolid, an independent developer. For anything about privacy, write to tanokorean.support@gmail.com.

What stays on your iPhone

The app works without an internet connection. Everything you do in it is saved on your iPhone only and is never sent to us or to anyone else:

• the words you know, the words you are learning and their review dates;
• your answers, including the level check;
• your settings, such as the daily goal, the language and the theme.

We cannot see this data, and we cannot restore it. If you delete the app, it is deleted with it. If you back up your iPhone with iCloud or a computer, the app's data may be part of that backup, under Apple's terms.

The Korean voice is your iPhone's own voice. The words are spoken on the device.

What the app does not do

• No account, no name, no email address and no password are asked for.
• No ads.
• No analytics and no tracking, in the app or across other apps and websites.
• No access to your contacts, photos, location, microphone or camera.
• We do not sell or share personal data.

Purchases

Payment for Premium is handled by Apple through your Apple Account. We never see your name, your card or your billing details.

To know whether Premium is active, the app uses RevenueCat, a subscription service. RevenueCat receives:

• a random, anonymous ID created for the app on your device;
• your purchase history in Tano: which product, when, and whether it is active, renewed or cancelled;
• the country of your App Store and its currency, to show the right prices;
• your iPhone's tracking permission status for the app (App Tracking Transparency). RevenueCat adds it automatically. Tano never asks for permission to track you, so this status usually just says the question was never asked;
• basic technical information that comes with any internet request, such as the IP address, the device model and the iOS and app versions.

This is used only to unlock and restore what you bought. It is not linked to your name or email, and it is not used for advertising. Your words, progress and answers are never sent to RevenueCat. See RevenueCat's privacy policy and Apple's privacy policy.

Messages you send us

"Send feedback", "Report a problem" and the small flag on a word open your iPhone's share sheet with a ready text: the app and iOS versions, the app's language and, for a word, the word and its translation. You choose where to send it (for example Mail, Messages or Telegram), you can read and change everything first, and nothing is sent unless you send it.

If you send it to us, we receive what you wrote and the address or account you sent it from. We use it only to answer you and to fix the app. Our mailbox is hosted by Google (Gmail); a message sent through another app is also handled by that app under its own privacy policy. We delete a message when you ask us to.

Apple, TestFlight and the App Store

If you test the app through TestFlight, Apple may share with us crash reports, and the feedback and screenshots you choose to send from TestFlight, together with the email address of your Apple Account when you send feedback. If you allowed "Share with App Developers" in your iPhone's settings, Apple shows us anonymous, combined statistics such as crashes and the number of installs. Apple collects this under its own privacy policy.

When the app asks whether you would like to rate it, it uses Apple's own window. We do not see whether you answered.

Children

The app is not made for children in particular and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, children included.

Your choices and rights

• To delete everything saved by the app: delete the app from your iPhone.
• To delete messages you sent us, or to ask what we hold about you: write to tanokorean.support@gmail.com.
• To manage or cancel a subscription: iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions.

Depending on where you live (for example in the EU, the UK or California), you have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data and to object to its use. Because the app keeps your data on your device, most of this is in your own hands; for the rest, write to us and we will answer within 30 days.

If the app starts to work differently, this page is updated first and the date at the top changes. Important changes are also mentioned in the app's release notes.
