Privacy Policy
KanjiStep does not collect, transmit or sell any personal data. Your study answers, review schedule and settings stay on your iPhone. The app has no account, no analytics, no advertising and needs no internet connection.
Who we are
KanjiStep: Small Kanji Steps (“KanjiStep”, “the app”) is published by VIBETRIP, INC (“we”, “us”). For privacy questions write to privacy@nomadhouse.ai.
What the app stores on your device
- your answers in lessons and reviews, and the dates the app schedules the next review for each character;
- which lessons you have completed;
- your language and appearance preferences.
The lessons, illustrations, stroke animations and pronunciation audio are included in the app itself. Playing a pronunciation does not contact any server.
The Home Screen widget
If you add the KanjiStep widget, the app shares a small snapshot with it through a private storage area that only KanjiStep and its widget can read: the current course and exercise, the character, an optional hint, the next review date and your language. The snapshot contains no answer history and never leaves your device.
What we do not do
- We do not operate a server for KanjiStep; the app does not send your progress or settings anywhere.
- There is no account, sign-in, advertising, analytics or tracking SDK, and no third party receives data from the app.
- The app does not request access to the camera, photos, microphone, location, contacts or notifications.
- The app is free and contains no purchases or subscriptions.
Export and backups
You can export your progress from Settings; the export file is created only when you ask for it and goes only to the destination you choose in the iOS share sheet. Your iPhone may also include the app’s data in iCloud or computer backups according to your iOS settings. Backups and exported files are managed by you; we have no access to them.
Deleting your data
Settings offers a reset that deletes your answer history and review queue and clears the widget. Deleting the app from your iPhone removes all of its data. Copies you exported or that exist in your own backups remain under your control.
Third-party content
Some pronunciation recordings are published by their authors under Creative Commons licences. The app lists every recording with its author, source and licence under Settings → Content sources. These attributions describe content inside the app; no data is exchanged with those authors or platforms.
Children
KanjiStep is suitable for learners of any age and collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes to this policy
If the app ever starts processing data differently, we will update this page, change the effective date above and describe the change inside the app before it takes effect.
