Data Privacy Policy – Hexia

Part 1 – Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Hexia (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our app. Hexia is designed as a local flashcard and spaced-repetition learning tool. In normal use, your learning content is stored locally on your device, and the app is built to minimize data collection.

Some features, such as optional notifications, crash reporting, or support communication, may involve limited data handling as described in this policy. We aim to keep all personal and user-generated content under your control and to avoid unnecessary collection or sharing.

Part 2 – Face Data / Biometric Information

Hexia does not use facial recognition, face templates, biometric identifiers, or biometric analysis of any kind. We do not collect, process, or infer biometric data from your device camera, microphone, photos, or any other source.

If any media or user content is processed for app functionality, it is processed only for that limited purpose and is deleted after processing is complete. We do not create, store, or retain biometric profiles.

Part 3 – International Data Transfers

Because the app and supporting services may operate across different regions, information may be processed or stored in countries other than your own. Where such transfers occur, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place and that data is handled according to this Privacy Policy.

Any third-party infrastructure provider used by us acts only on our behalf and under our instructions, and is subject to contractual obligations designed to protect confidentiality and security.

Part 4 – Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures may include access controls, encryption in transit where applicable, secure storage practices, least-privilege access, and internal review of operational procedures.

However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You are responsible for safeguarding your device, passcode, and account credentials, if any.

Part 5 – Data Retention

We keep information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law.

Part 6 – AI Processing

If Hexia uses any AI-related functionality, all AI processing is performed exclusively on our own internal servers. We do not use third-party AI services to process user data.

Any data used in AI processing is handled only for the specific purpose requested by you or required by the app feature, is not used for model training, and is deleted after processing is complete unless retention is required for the feature you selected or for legal compliance.

We do not use your data to train, fine-tune, or improve third-party models. We also do not permit third parties to access your content for their own AI development or optimization.

Part 7 – Children's Privacy

Hexia is intended for users who are 17 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 17. If we become aware that information from a child under 17 has been collected, we will take appropriate steps to delete it as soon as reasonably possible.

Part 8 – Changes to Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our app, legal requirements, or operational practices. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date and may provide additional notice within the app or by other reasonable means.

Your continued use of Hexia after an updated policy becomes effective means you acknowledge the revised policy, subject to applicable law.

Part 9 – Data Sharing

We do NOT sell, rent, or trade user data.

We do NOT share any user-uploaded or user-generated content with any third party.

We do NOT use any third-party AI services to process user data. All AI processing is performed exclusively on our own internal servers.

We may use a limited number of third-party service providers only for cloud storage, server hosting, analytics infrastructure, or basic operational support where necessary. These providers act solely on our behalf and under our instructions, are bound by contractual obligations to protect data security and confidentiality, and are not permitted to use user data for any purpose beyond what we instruct.

Third parties are not allowed to use data for advertising, user profiling, AI training, model optimization, redistribution, or their own independent purposes. They do not independently access or use your content except as strictly necessary to provide the contracted infrastructure service.

Part 10 – Information We Collect

Information you provide: We may collect the content you create or enter into the app, including flashcard text, deck names, tags, learning notes, review ratings, and other learning data you choose to store.

Information collected automatically: Depending on your device and app settings, we may automatically collect limited diagnostic and usage information such as crash logs, performance data, app version, device model, operating system version, and notification-related settings.

Cookies and similar technologies: Hexia is primarily a mobile app and does not rely on browser cookies in the traditional sense. If any similar local storage technologies are used, they are used only for app functionality, preferences, or session-related behavior and not for advertising.

Part 11 – How We Use Information

We use information only for legitimate app functions and operational purposes, including storing flashcards, tracking review progress, generating learning statistics, delivering reminders you request, improving app stability, and providing support.

We do NOT use your information for AI training, advertising, profiling, or selling. We do NOT sell user information or user-generated content. We do NOT use your content to build advertising profiles or behavioral marketing segments.

Part 12 – User Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your information. You may also withdraw consent for optional features where consent is the legal basis for processing, such as notifications or other device permissions, if applicable.

Because Hexia is designed to store learning content locally whenever possible, many records can be managed directly within the app. If you need help exercising your rights or deleting data that cannot be removed through the app, you may contact us using the contact information below.

Part 13 – User Consent and Acceptance

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Hexia, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. If you do not agree with this policy, you should not use the app.
