Privacy Policy · Tribbit · HarmonyOS

In short: 消了个词 (Tribbit for HarmonyOS) requires no App account, supports offline levels and learning records, and includes no advertising or analytics SDKs. Your diamond ledger, progress and history are stored locally and, with privacy consent, sync to your own Huawei ID private cloud space as described below. Purchases use Huawei In-App Purchases, and pronunciation uses system speech services.

1. Scope

This policy covers 消了个词 (bundle name tech.gentleflow.tribbit), operated by Lu Liang (developer brand: Gentleflow). Tribbit for iOS has its own privacy policy.

2. What we do not collect

You need no App account, and you are never asked for your name, phone number, email or address.
The App requests no camera, location, contacts or photo permission and reads no browsing history. The microphone is used only when you choose to record encouragement in Settings.
We show no ads, use no analytics, build no profiles and do not track you across apps.
We run no server that receives user data; the App sends none of your game or learning data to us.
We never sell or rent personal information; system services and feedback emails are described below.

3. What the App keeps on your device

The App processes the following in its private device storage. Cloud sync is described in section 5:

Level progress: stars, best score and best time for each level and tier, chapter review clears, and your current course;
Play history: the time, level, tier, stars and score of each game, and the words you cleared or peeked at, used for the learning calendar, streaks, statistics and the weekly report;
Diamond ledger: diamonds earned and spent, and your daily-diamond streak;
Other state: whether the tutorial is done, your consent to this policy, signed purchase receipts with their last verification time, and textbook edition/volume choices.

Words, definitions, example sentences, stickers and map art are installed with the App and shown on the device.

4. Pronunciation

After you accept this policy, tapping a speaker sends the English text to HarmonyOS system speech synthesis in on-device offline mode. Pronunciation does not record audio or send pronunciation text to our servers. Encouragement recordings stay on-device, are never uploaded and can be deleted with Restore default in Settings › 鼓励语音. If resources are missing, the App shows a voice-resource prompt; only choosing Download and retry opens the system download flow, which may use network data. Huawei handles the download and related system-service information under its privacy statement.

5. Huawei Cloud space sync

After privacy consent, Huawei Cloud space syncs diamond ledgers for all users (cumulative earned/spent counters and order/daily-reward deduplication identifiers). Active members can also sync stars, best scores, best times and review clears for all courses and tiers, and play history (time, course, level, difficulty, results, cleared and peeked words). Data is stored in your own Huawei ID private cloud space; the developer runs no server receiving it. Turn off learning progress and history sync at Settings › 华为云空间同步 (Huawei Cloud space sync). Diamonds continue to sync; withdraw privacy consent in Settings and exit to stop all subsequent App cloud requests. Turning sync off or withdrawing consent does not delete existing cloud data, and native sync already started cannot be guaranteed to stop instantly. Sync depends on your Huawei ID, system cloud settings, network and available capacity and may not complete immediately. The selected course, favorites, pets and albums, preferences, recorded encouragement, tutorial state and purchase receipts are outside this sync. Pet spending affects the synced diamond balance, but pets do not migrate to another device; keep the original device data.

6. Purchases and subscriptions

Membership and diamonds are bought through Huawei In-App Purchases; payment, billing, subscription management and refunds are handled by Huawei. We never receive your Huawei ID password or card details. The App only obtains product information and prices, signed purchase receipts (including order, product, App and validity information for verification) and subscription status from Huawei, and verifies them on your device to grant or restore your benefits.

7. System permissions

Internet (ohos.permission.INTERNET): used only after you accept this policy, for Huawei In-App Purchases (prices, purchases, restoring, refreshing membership) Huawei Cloud space sync and separately confirmed system English voice downloads. External pages you choose to open, such as agreements, email and AppGallery, use their browser or system app’s network access. Levels and learning records need no connection.
Vibration (ohos.permission.VIBRATE): for haptic feedback when you tap and clear tiles.
Microphone (ohos.permission.MICROPHONE): requested only for recording encouragement in Settings; refusing does not affect basic learning. Recordings remain local and can be deleted with Restore default.

8. Feedback and ratings

If you email us through Feedback, we receive what you choose to send, your email address, and the app and system versions included in the email, and use them only to reply and fix problems. Rate Us opens the App's page in AppGallery; ratings are handled by Huawei.

9. Retention and deletion

App private storage is kept while you use the App and cleared on uninstall. Whether system backups include App data depends on the device and system settings; manage backups using the system’s available controls. Feedback emails are deleted within a reasonable time after the issue is resolved.

Apart from Huawei Cloud space, Huawei In-App Purchases and system speech services described above, we do not share, transfer or publicly disclose your personal information, except where the law requires.

11. Your rights

Read this policy at Settings › 隐私政策 (Privacy Policy). Withdraw consent at Settings › 撤回隐私同意 (Withdraw privacy consent), then choose 撤回 (Withdraw); before consent, this entry is 隐私设置 (Privacy settings). On first launch you can choose 不同意并退出 (Decline and exit). Declining or withdrawing exits the App and prompts again at the next launch, preserving local records. Before consent, no cloud requests, payment calls, pronunciation or voice downloads start. System operations already accepted may not stop instantly. Withdrawal does not cancel a subscription; follow the Auto-Renewal Agreement to cancel renewal. You may also uninstall the App to clear local data. To access, correct or delete information we hold, such as feedback emails, contact us at the address below; we reply within 15 working days.

12. Minors

We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. Children under 14 should use the App with a parent or guardian, and minors need a guardian's consent to buy a membership or diamonds.

13. Changes

When this policy changes we update the date on this page. For material changes to the purpose, method or scope of processing, we will notify you prominently in the App and ask for your consent again.
