Privacy Policy

1Summary

Nepali Companion has no accounts, no analytics, no trackers, and no advertising networks. We do not collect or store personal information about you. Your learning data stays on your device. Until the in-app purchase unlocks the full course, the home screen shows a banner for another Hex Pro app, described in section 3. Fetching it carries nothing that identifies you, and everyone sees the same banner. Once the course is unlocked the banner is switched off and that request is no longer made.

2Data stored on your device

The app stores your learning progress, review schedule, settings, and purchase unlock state in the app's private storage on your device. The app does not transmit this data to us or to anyone else. Deleting the app deletes it.

There is no account and no cloud copy, and we cannot restore this data. A device backup that includes app data will carry it to a new device; without one, it is not recoverable. The purchase is the exception: it is recorded by Apple against your Apple Account and can be restored as described in section 4.

Until the course is unlocked, the app also keeps the banner picture or video from section 3 in its cache, along with a small index file naming it. That is artwork we sent, not information about you, and iOS may clear it at any time.

3Network access

Lessons, images, and audio are bundled with the download, so the course itself works without a connection. The app contains no telemetry, no crash reporting, and no remote configuration.

Two things need the network. The first is the in-app purchase, which Apple processes (section 4). The second is the Hex Pro banner: until the purchase unlocks the full course, the home screen may show a banner for another Hex Pro app. Fetching it sends this app's bundle identifier, the platform ("ios"), and a slot name to our API at api.p.hex.pro, and returns an image or video that is cached on your device. There are no third-party ad networks, no tracking identifiers, and no personalisation: everyone sees the same banner.

Once the purchase unlocks the full course, the banner is removed and the request is no longer made.

Like every internet request, the banner request exposes your IP address to our server. We keep only standard, short-lived operational logs and do not use IP addresses to identify or profile anyone.

4Purchases

The in-app purchase is processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your name, payment details, or Apple Account information. Apple's handling of purchase data is described in Apple's privacy policy. The app records only the resulting unlock state, on your device; the purchase itself is recorded by Apple against your Apple Account and can be restored on any device signed in to that account with Restore purchase in the app's settings.

5Notifications

Notifications are off until you enable them. If you enable them, the app schedules local notifications on your device: a daily reminder and, optionally, an alert when reviews are due. No push server is involved. You can disable them in the app's settings or in iOS Settings.

6Device permissions

The app does not request access to the microphone, camera, photos, contacts, or location.

7iCloud and backups

The app does not sync data to iCloud. If iOS device backups are enabled on your device, the app's local data may be included in them in the same way as other apps' data. Those backups are operated by Apple under your Apple Account and can be managed in iOS Settings.

8Children

The app collects no data from anyone, including children. There is no user content, no chat, and no social feature. The only promotional material is the Hex Pro banner described in section 3, which shows Hex Pro's own apps, is the same for everyone, and is not based on anything about you.

9Access, correction, and deletion

We hold no account and no profile of you, so there is almost nothing for us to access, correct, export, or delete. To delete the app's data, delete the app. For anything involving our server, such as the operational logs in section 3, write to the address in section 11 and we will help. You can also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner or your local data-protection authority.

10Changes

If this policy changes, the effective date above changes and the updated policy ships in the same app update.
