Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 29, 2025

Thank you for using ChinaStart ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Data Collection and Usage

We do not collect, store, or share any of your personal data.

ChinaStart is designed as an offline-first application. All features, including translation cards, maps, and guides, operate locally on your device.

2. Local Storage

Some features (e.g., "My Hotel Card", "Dietary Passport") allow you to input text or save preferences. This data is stored strictly on your device's internal storage (using SharedPreferences/NSUserDefaults) and is never transmitted to our servers or any third parties.

3. Permissions

We may request the following permissions for specific functionalities:

• Microphone (iOS/Android): Required solely for the text-to-speech engine to function correctly on some devices. We do not record your voice.
• Photo Library (iOS): Required if you wish to save offline maps or images to your gallery.

4. Third-Party Services

Since the app works offline, we do not use third-party analytics services (like Firebase or Google Analytics) to track your usage.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.
