Privacy Policy

中文酷 - ZhongWenKu respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it when you use the service.

Information We Collect

We may collect and store access logs for visits to the website, including your IP address, requested URLs, time of access, browser type, operating system, and related technical information. We use these logs for analytics, troubleshooting, abuse prevention, and security.

When you create or use an account, we store information needed to provide the service, including your username, email address, hashed password, vocabulary lists, study decks, vocabulary statuses, learning progress, related timestamps, import/export preferences, and other settings or learning data connected to your account.

If you send or import content for a feature, we store only the information needed to provide that feature and maintain your learning history. We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies and Local Storage

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and identify your account on later visits. We may also use cookies or local storage to remember preferences such as language, pinyin display mode, and export settings. These are used to make the site function correctly and preserve your choices.

How We Use Your Information

• To create, authenticate, and manage your account.
• To provide vocabulary, reading, review, import, and export features.
• To preserve your learning progress, vocabulary statuses, preferences, and related timestamps.
• To monitor reliability, diagnose errors, and improve site performance.
• To protect the service from spam, abuse, unauthorized access, and security risks.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help operate the website, such as hosting, database, logging, and email providers. We may also disclose information if required by law or necessary to protect the service and its users.

Data Retention

Account and learning data are kept while your account remains active or as long as needed to provide the service. Access logs may be retained for security, analytics, and operational purposes. If you request deletion of your account, we will delete or anonymize personal data where reasonably possible, unless we need to retain it for legal, security, or operational reasons.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no website or online service can guarantee complete security.
