This policy explains how the individual developer, Xi Xiantian (“Developer”), collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the Chinese Pinyin application (“App”), and your rights regarding that information. It is intended to satisfy disclosure requirements for distribution on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

3. How We Use Information

We use information to provide and maintain features (translation, learning content, subscription entitlement checks), improve services and diagnose issues, process and auto-translate support conversations when enabled, and comply with legal obligations.

4. Sharing and Third Parties

We may integrate third-party services (for example, translation APIs, Apple In-App Purchase receipt validation, Google Play Billing purchase token validation, crash analytics, and optional usage analytics). These providers process data only as necessary under their own policies. We do not sell personal data and we do not share data with third parties for their marketing. We may disclose information as required by law.

We retain information only as needed for the purposes described, then delete or anonymize unless the law requires longer retention. We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to reduce risks of unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss. Data in transit is encrypted; stored inputs are minimized and may be encrypted or de-identified.

6. International Transfers

Due to global infrastructure, your data may be processed on servers outside your country, subject to local laws. We take reasonable steps to comply with applicable requirements.

7. Your Rights

Subject to law, you may request access, correction, deletion, withdrawal of consent/restriction, and account/data deletion where applicable.

8. Children’s Privacy

The App is for general audiences. If a child’s data is collected without guardian consent, we will delete it promptly upon discovery.

9. Changes

We may update this policy and will notify you of material changes via in-app notice or other reasonable means. Updates take effect upon posting unless stated otherwise.

10. Platform Disclosures (Apple & Google Play)
