GoKana is designed as an offline-first Japanese learning companion. We aim to keep the app simple, useful, and respectful of user privacy. GoKana does not require account registration or sign-in. We do not collect unnecessary user privacy information, and core learning information is intended to remain on the user's device.
GoKana does not require a name, home address, phone number, account password, social media profile, or other unnecessary personal information to use the core app. We do not collect facial recognition data, face templates, face IDs, facial characteristics, biometric identifiers, or other biometric information. We do not build a face database, facial profile, biometric profile, or user profile based on facial information. We do not use facial information for identification, recognition, profiling, personalization, advertising, or analytics.
GoKana does not collect user face information even when the app is used for ordinary study, navigation, lessons, kana practice, flashcards, quizzes, or review. The app does not require a camera-based face feature for its learning functions, and no face image or facial feature is needed to use the service.
We do not sell user data. We do not use personal information to build advertising profiles, and GoKana does not use Firebase Analytics. We do not share users' personal information with third parties.
GoKana is designed so that core learning information can be stored on your device. This can include lesson progress, completed lessons, daily activity, review status, vocabulary progress, kana practice status, coin balance, and other information needed to provide the app's learning experience.
Your saved learning information stays on your device unless you delete it, reset the app, or uninstall the app. We do not collect this information for a remote user profile. We do not collect face information, facial characteristics, face templates, face IDs, or biometric identifiers as part of local learning storage.
Because GoKana is offline-first, core lessons, kana charts, vocabulary, flashcards, quizzes, review functions, and on-device Japanese speech can work without an internet connection. Network access may be required by the operating system or App Store for purchases, subscription processing, restoring purchases, or opening certain legal documents.
After a quiz, GoKana may offer an optional quiz result card feature. If you choose to use it, the app may ask for access to the camera and/or the photo library so you can take a photo or choose an existing picture to place on a quiz result card. You may also be asked for permission to save a generated quiz card to Photos.
These photos and generated cards are used only on your device for composing and saving your quiz result cards. GoKana does not upload your photos to a remote server for this feature, does not use them for facial recognition, and does not build a face database or facial profile from them. We do not collect facial recognition data, face templates, face IDs, or other biometric data/identifiers. You can decline camera or photo library access and continue using the app's core learning features without creating a quiz result card.
GoKana may use Japanese speech available on the device to pronounce kana, vocabulary, and expressions. Core pronunciation is designed to work on the device. We do not collect face information, voice profiles, facial characteristics, face templates, face IDs, or biometric identifiers for this pronunciation feature.
GoKana may provide optional coin balances and Premium subscriptions for practice features. Flashcards and Quiz may use coins to unlock a practice round. During an active Premium subscription, eligible practice modes can be used without spending coins while the subscription remains active.
Purchase processing is handled through the applicable App Store purchasing system. We do not collect or store full payment card numbers, bank account credentials, or payment passwords inside GoKana. Purchase availability, transaction records, subscription status, and restoration may be handled by the App Store purchasing system that processes the purchase.
We do not use purchase information to create a facial profile, face database, biometric profile, or advertising profile. We do not collect face information or facial characteristics in connection with purchases.
GoKana's core learning experience is designed to be fully local and not to depend on third-party analytics, advertising, social networking, or cloud learning services. We do not use third-party services for core learning. We do not share users' personal information with third parties.
The operating system or App Store may process information necessary to provide functions such as downloading the app, processing a purchase, managing a subscription, or restoring a purchase. Those processes are governed by the applicable App Store or operating-system terms and privacy practices.
GoKana does not send user face information, face templates, face IDs, facial characteristics, biometric identifiers, or a facial profile to third parties.
GoKana does not sell personal information and does not use personal information to create advertising profiles. We do not use Firebase Analytics. We do not create facial profiles, biometric profiles, face databases, or advertising segments based on facial information.
The app is intended to focus on learning rather than behavioral advertising. We do not collect face information or facial characteristics to personalize advertisements or content.
GoKana does not require account registration or sign-in. Users can open the app and use its core learning functions without creating an online account.
We do not intentionally collect unnecessary personal information from users. We also do not collect face images, face templates, face IDs, facial characteristics, or biometric identifiers from users.
Because core learning information is stored locally, users can control much of that information through the device and app. Deleting the app or using the device's available app-data controls may remove locally stored information.
We do not maintain a remote personal learning profile for ordinary offline study. We do not retain a facial database, face template database, face ID database, or biometric profile.
GoKana follows an offline-first approach to reduce the amount of information that needs to leave the device. The app does not require an account, and core study activities are designed to operate locally.
We do not collect unnecessary user privacy information. We do not collect face information, facial characteristics, face templates, face IDs, or other biometric identifiers. We do not sell user data or share users' personal information with third parties.
If this Privacy Policy changes, the updated version will be made available through the app or the applicable app distribution channel. The purpose of any update is to keep the description of GoKana's privacy practices clear and accurate.
We do not require users to create an account in order to contact us about the app. Please avoid sending unnecessary personal information in a support message. GoKana does not collect face information, facial characteristics, face templates, face IDs, or biometric identifiers as part of ordinary app use.
