Your learning
stays yours.

HanziZap does not collect, sell or automatically transmit personal information or learning activity to our servers. No account is required.

On-device learning

Answers, skill evidence, review schedules, preferences, scores, Daily Zap records, achievements and unlocked content are stored locally using the app’s WebKit store and iOS UserDefaults. Adaptive recommendations are calculated on your device.

Pronunciation and sound

Mandarin speech uses installed iOS device voices. Speech and sound effects play on your device. HanziZap does not use the microphone, record your voice or send learning text to a speech service.

Sharing is your choice

When you choose to share a Daily Zap result in 1.1, HanziZap passes the result card or text to the iPhone share sheet. Only the destination you choose receives what you send; its own privacy practices apply. Sharing is optional. A card can include the challenge date and identity, score, accuracy and best combo.

No tracking

There are no advertising, analytics or third-party data-collection SDKs, tracking technologies, online leaderboards, accounts, subscriptions or in-app purchases.

Removing local data

Use Arcade Club → Privacy & Help → Reset Saved Learning Progress and confirm the reset to erase local progress and rewards. Deleting the app can also remove local data as handled by iOS. HanziZap does not provide cloud backup or sync.

Children

HanziZap does not knowingly collect personal information from children or other users.
