Korean Cards: Privacy Policy

Last updated: 16 October 2026

Korean Cards is an offline app for learning Korean on iPhone and iPad. It works without an account, without tracking and without sending your data to any server.

Data we collect

None. Korean Cards does not collect, transmit or share any personal data.

• No account is required.
• No analytics, no ads and no tracking.
• The app makes no network requests in normal use.

Data stored on your device

Your study data stays on your device. This includes your cards, review history, personal deck, notes, settings and reminder preferences. The app keeps it in its own storage on the device, which the home-screen widget shares. You can remove it by deleting the app.

Camera and photos

The Scan feature can read Korean text from the camera or from a photo you choose. The app asks for access only when you use Scan. The text is recognized on the device with Apple's Vision framework. The pages you scan are kept on your device in the scan history, so you can open them again, and you can delete them there. They are never sent anywhere.

Notifications

If you turn on the optional daily reminder, the app schedules a local notification on your device at the time you choose. No notification server is involved.

Backup and exchange files

Backup and exchange files are created only when you ask for them. The file goes where you send it, for example to the Files app, to AirDrop or to your Mac. The app itself sends nothing.

Purchase and ads

Korean Cards is a one-time purchase. There are no in-app purchases, subscriptions or advertisements.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new "Last updated" date.
