Privacy Policy
個人情報保護方針
Katakoi Kanji is a Japanese vocabulary learning app built by Katakoi Studio. This page explains what data we collect, what it is used for, and what rights you have over it. By using Katakoi Kanji, you agree to the practices described here.
What we collect
Account data
When you sign up, we collect:
- Your email address — used as your account identity and for password recovery.
- Your password — stored in encrypted form, never as plain text.
If you choose Continue with Google, we never receive your password. What we receive from your Google account is your email address, your name, and your profile picture.
Profile data
You can set a display name and upload a profile picture. Both are optional. Profile pictures are stored in Supabase Storage.
Learning data
As you use the app, we store the level you selected, your vocabulary progress and which cards you have studied, when each card is next due for review, your study calendar history, and your app settings including interface and content language preferences.
Premium access data
Katakoi Kanji does not use recurring subscriptions. Premium access is bought once and lasts 30 days; it does not renew automatically. Buying again before it runs out adds to the days you have left. All we store is whether your premium access is active, and when it expires.
We never receive, process, or store credit card numbers, bank details, or any other payment instrument. All transactions are handled by Google Play.
Developer report data
If you use the Report to developer feature, we store the message you send, your email address, the app version, your device OS version, and the time it was sent. This is only collected if you use the feature.
What we do not collect
- Your phone number or home address
- Device location
- Contacts
- Camera, microphone, or photo gallery access — beyond the single image you pick yourself as a profile picture
- Browsing history or data from other apps
The app shows no advertising and shares no data with any ad network.
How your data is used
The data we collect is used only to:
- Sign you in to the app
- Save and sync your learning progress across devices
- Decide which cards you need to review, and when
- Verify your premium access so paid content unlocks
- Reply to questions or complaints you send us by email
We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising profiles.
Where data is stored
On our servers
Account data, profile pictures, and learning data are stored with Supabase, the database and authentication provider we use. Access is restricted per user: you can only read and write data belonging to your own account.
On your device
The app keeps a small set of vocabulary cards in local device storage so it keeps working while you are offline. This local data is removed automatically when you uninstall the app.
How long we keep it
Your data is kept for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, it is removed as described in section 5.
Third parties
We rely on the following services to run the app:
- Supabase
- Database and authentication.
- Receives: email address, encrypted password, profile picture, learning progress.
- Google Sign-In
- Authentication, if you choose to sign in with your Google account.
- Gives us: your email address, name, and profile picture from your Google account.
- Google Play
- App distribution and premium access payments.
- Receives: transaction data, handled entirely by Google.
We share your data with no one outside this list, unless required to by applicable law.
Your rights
You have the right to access the data we hold about you, correct anything inaccurate, and request deletion of your account along with all learning data attached to it.
There is no delete-account button inside the app. Deletion is handled manually by our team. Email katakoi.dev@gmail.com from your registered address and tell us you want your account deleted.
What gets deleted:
- Your account — email address and password
- Your profile — display name and profile picture
- All learning data — vocabulary progress, review schedule, study calendar history, and app settings
Requests are processed within a reasonable time of being received. Data we are legally required to retain may be kept longer, in a form no longer linked to your identity.
Deleting your account does not refund premium access you have already bought, and any remaining days end with it.
Security
All traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted over HTTPS. Passwords are stored in encrypted form and cannot be read by anyone, including us.
That said, no system is completely immune. We encourage you to use a unique password that you do not reuse elsewhere.
Children
Katakoi Kanji is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has created an account, contact us and we will delete the data.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app gains features. If a change materially affects how we handle your data, we will tell you through the app or by email before it takes effect. The date of the most recent update is always shown at the top of this page.
