Privacy Policy

User-Created Content

ZapCards stores the following data that you create when using the app:

• Folders you create to organize your flashcards
• Flashcards with questions and answers
• Any images you add to flashcards
• Study progress and performance data
• Custom settings and preferences

This information is essential for the app to function and provide you with a personalized learning experience.

Device Information

We collect basic information about your device to ensure the app functions properly, including:

• Device type and model
• Operating system version
• App version
• Error logs (if the app crashes)

This technical information helps us troubleshoot issues and improve the app's performance.

Usage Data

We collect anonymous usage statistics to help us understand how users interact with the app:

• Features used
• Navigation patterns
• Time spent using the app
• General study habits (e.g., average session length, frequency of review)

This data is aggregated and anonymized. It cannot be used to identify individual users.

Data Storage Locations

Your data is stored in two primary locations:

1. Local Storage: Data is stored directly on your device in a secure database.
2. iCloud (when available): If you have an iCloud account and iCloud is enabled on your device, your data is also stored in your personal iCloud account for synchronization across devices.

When iCloud is available, ZapCards uses Apple's CloudKit framework to synchronize your data across all your Apple devices. This ensures your flashcards and progress are always up-to-date no matter which device you use.

Data Security Measures

We implement several measures to protect your data:

• Your data is stored using secure, industry-standard encryption
• We leverage Apple's security features and frameworks
• When using iCloud sync, your data is protected by Apple's security infrastructure
• We regularly update our app to address any potential security vulnerabilities

For data stored in iCloud, Apple's privacy and security protocols apply. You can learn more about Apple's approach to privacy at apple.com/privacy.

Accessing and Controlling Your Data

You have several rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: All your data is accessible directly within the app
• Deletion: You can delete individual flashcards, folders, or all data from the app settings
• Export: Future versions of the app may include options to export your data
• iCloud Control: You can enable or disable iCloud sync in your device settings

If you have any questions about accessing or managing your data, please contact us at liangjisong@foxmail.com.

Deleting Your Data

You can delete your data in several ways:

1. Delete individual flashcards or folders within the app
2. Clear all app data via the settings menu
3. Uninstall the app from your device (this will remove local data only)
4. To remove data from iCloud, you can disable iCloud sync and then delete the data from all your devices

Note that if you only delete data locally without addressing iCloud storage, your data may be restored when iCloud sync is active.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will provide notice within the app and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
