Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 November 2026 · Effective for app version 0.6.0+

Spicy Chinese (“the App”, “we”) is a Chinese-learning app with a Sichuan flavor. This policy explains what data is handled when you use the App. We do not create user accounts, show ads, or include our own analytics SDKs.

1. Data we process

Chat messages (optional AI mode). If you add your own OpenAI-compatible API key and base URL in Settings, the text you type and recent conversation turns are sent to that endpoint you configured so 王嬢嬢 can reply. We do not operate that AI service; it is controlled by your chosen provider (for example OpenAI or another compatible host).
Text for on-demand voice (optional, Spicy Pro). When you tap “Hear her / 听王嬢嬢说” and have set a Voice server URL, Chinese text only is sent to your TTS proxy to generate audio. Audio may be cached on your device.
Microphone / speech recognition. Pronunciation practice and the chat mic use Android’s SpeechRecognizer / speech services with the RECORD_AUDIO permission. Audio is handled by the speech engine on or provided through your device (often Google’s speech service). It may require a network connection unless you install an offline Chinese speech pack. We do not upload raw audio to our own servers (the App has no backend of our own for this).
Purchases (Spicy Pro). If subscriptions are enabled, Google Play Billing and RevenueCat process purchase/subscription status so the App can unlock Pro features. See also RevenueCat’s privacy policy and Google Play’s terms.
Local preferences. Settings (API key, model, voice URL, language, speech rate, daily chat counters, phrase deck progress, best scores) are stored in on-device SharedPreferences / local cache. Your API key stays on the device except when used as a Bearer token to the AI endpoint you configured.

2. What we do not do

No account registration or login with us.
No advertising SDKs, no in-app ads.
No first-party analytics / crash-reporting SDK in the App (as of v0.6.0).
We do not sell your personal information.

3. Permissions

INTERNET — AI chat (if enabled), voice proxy (if enabled), subscription status.
RECORD_AUDIO — pronunciation scoring and voice input.

4. Children

The App is a general language-learning tool. It is not directed at children under 13. Do not provide personal information about children to third-party AI endpoints.

5. Your choices

You can use offline demo chat and bundled phrase audio without entering an API key or voice URL.
You can clear app data in Android Settings to wipe local preferences and caches.
You can revoke microphone permission in Android Settings.
Subscriptions are managed in Google Play → Subscriptions.

隐私政策

更新日期：2026年11月10日 · 适用于应用 0.6.0 及以上版本

「巴适中文 / Spicy Chinese」（下称「本应用」）是一款带川味的中文学习应用。本政策说明使用本应用时如何处理数据。我们不提供账号注册、不投放广告、也不内置自有的统计分析 SDK。

1. 我们处理的数据

聊天内容（可选 AI 模式）。若你在设置中填写自己的 OpenAI 兼容接口地址与 API 密钥，你输入的文本及近期对话会发送到你配置的该接口，以便王嬢嬢回复。该 AI 服务由你选择的提供商运营，并非我们运营。
点播语音文本（可选，巴适会员）。当你点击「听王嬢嬢说」并已设置语音服务器地址时，仅中文文本会发送到你的 TTS 代理以生成音频；音频可能缓存在本机。
麦克风 / 语音识别。发音练习与聊天麦克风使用 Android SpeechRecognizer 及系统语音服务（需 RECORD_AUDIO）。音频由本机或设备提供商的语音引擎处理（常见为 Google 语音服务），在未安装离线中文语音包时可能需要联网。我们没有自有服务器来接收原始录音。
购买（巴适会员）。若开通订阅，Google Play 结算与 RevenueCat 会处理订阅状态以解锁会员功能。
本地偏好。设置项（API 密钥、模型、语音地址、语言、语速、每日聊天计数、短句进度、最高分等）保存在本机 SharedPreferences / 缓存。API 密钥仅在调用你配置的 AI 接口时作为 Bearer 令牌发送。

2. 我们不做的事

不提供账号注册/登录；
无广告 SDK、无应用内广告；
截至 v0.6.0 无自有分析/崩溃上报 SDK；
不出售你的个人信息。

3. 权限

INTERNET：AI 聊天、语音代理、订阅状态；
RECORD_AUDIO：发音评分与语音输入。

4. 儿童

本应用面向一般语言学习，并非专为 13 岁以下儿童设计。请勿向第三方 AI 接口提交儿童个人信息。

5. 你的选择

可不填写 API 密钥/语音地址，仅使用离线演示与内置短句音频；
可在系统设置中清除应用数据以删除本地偏好与缓存；
可随时关闭麦克风权限；
订阅请在 Google Play → 订阅中管理。
