This policy explains how QYAI TECH LIMITED handles information in NiHao+ (你好+). NiHao+ is an iPhone app for learning to speak beginner Chinese. This page is published at https://www.qyaitech.com/nihao-privacy.
NiHao+ is published by QYAI TECH LIMITED. The app runs on iPhone. The app interface is in English.

NiHao+ does not collect any data from you. There is no account and no login. Your learning progress stays on your iPhone. Speech recognition runs on your iPhone, and no recordings are saved. Purchases are handled by Apple.
NiHao+ has no account and no login. You use it in guest mode. The app has no server of its own, and it does not send your learning data to QYAI TECH LIMITED or to anyone else.
What the app keeps is stored only on your iPhone, in the app's own storage. That includes:
The learning goal you choose
Lessons you have finished, your review schedule, and your mistake list
Words you collect
Settings, such as whether audio plays automatically
We cannot see this information.
NiHao+ includes no third-party SDKs. It has no advertising, no analytics, and no tracking. We do not sell or share personal information.
If you turn on iPhone backup, such as iCloud Backup or a backup to a computer, that backup can include the app's data. The backup is controlled by your device settings. We cannot see it, and we do not use it.
NiHao+ asks for microphone and speech recognition access the first time you tap the microphone in a "Say it yourself" step. It does not ask at launch. You can say no and still use the rest of the app.
These permissions are used for one thing: to check whether you said the lesson sentence. NiHao+ does not score your pronunciation.
Speech recognition runs only on your iPhone. NiHao+ never sends your speech to a server, including ours and Apple's. No recordings are saved. The sound from the microphone is handled in memory while the app checks the sentence, and it is discarded when the check ends. No audio files are written.
If your iPhone does not support on-device speech recognition for Chinese, NiHao+ does not use speech recognition. The "Say it yourself" step changes to repeat and self-check: you say the sentence and tap "I said it" or "Not yet".
You can turn microphone or speech recognition access off at any time in iPhone Settings.
Lesson audio is either included in the app or spoken by the Chinese voice built into iOS. Playback happens on your iPhone.
NiHao+ subscriptions (Weekly, 3 Months and Yearly plans) are sold and processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your name, your email address, or your payment details. Apple tells the app on your iPhone which purchases are active, so the app can unlock what you bought. Restore Purchases asks Apple for the purchases made with your Apple Account.
Apple's privacy policy covers the information Apple processes for the App Store and payments.
Information stays on your iPhone until you delete the app. Deleting NiHao+ removes its data from that iPhone. A copy can remain in an iPhone backup until you delete or replace that backup. We cannot delete a backup for you.
Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Cancel in your Apple Account subscription settings.
NiHao+ is rated 4+. It does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.
