Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2025

This policy explains how HanziQuest handles data. In short: the site does not require accounts, does not track you, and stores learning progress only in your browser.

1. Introduction

  • HanziQuest is a free Mandarin learning website with short browser-based games and reading practice.
  • HanziQuest is operated as a personal hobby project. You do not need an account, registration, login, or payment to use the site.

2. Information We Collect

  • We do not collect personal information.
  • We do not use cookies for tracking.
  • We do not use analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar tracking services.
  • We do not collect IP addresses, email addresses, names, or other identifying information.

3. Local Storage

  • Game progress, scores, streaks, and practice history may be stored in your browser's LocalStorage.
  • This data stays on your device and is not sent to any server.
  • You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's LocalStorage or browser site data.
  • Clearing browser data will reset your HanziQuest progress.

4. Speech Synthesis

  • The pronunciation feature uses your browser's built-in SpeechSynthesis API.
  • SpeechSynthesis is a browser-native feature. HanziQuest does not send audio data or pronunciation data to any server.
  • SpeechSynthesis availability and voice quality depend on your browser, operating system, and device.

5. Third-Party Services

  • We do not use third-party services, APIs, or trackers.
  • We do not embed third-party content such as ads, social widgets, or external media.
  • We do not share data with third parties because we do not collect personal data.

6. Children's Privacy

  • HanziQuest is suitable for learners of all ages.
  • We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
  • Because there is no account creation, HanziQuest does not require age verification.

7. Data Security

  • Since learning progress stays in your browser, the security of that progress data depends on your device and browser security.
  • If you want to keep your progress private, we recommend not sharing your device or browser profile with others.

8. Changes to This Policy

  • We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
  • When changes are made, the "Last updated" date will be updated.
  • Continued use of HanziQuest after changes means you accept the updated policy.
