Yejian English Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 10, 2026

Yejian English values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how Yejian English handles your information when you use the application.

1. On-device Data Processing

Yejian English follows a local-first data processing approach. Books you import, reading progress, bookmarks, vocabulary review records, reading statistics, mind maps, and most application settings are primarily stored on your device.

Yejian English does not display third-party advertisements, perform cross-app or cross-website tracking, or sell your personal data.

2. iCloud Synchronization

If you voluntarily enable iCloud synchronization, Yejian English may synchronize:

These data are synchronized through your Apple iCloud account and private iCloud storage, and are protected by Apple's privacy policies and security mechanisms.

Yejian English does not use iCloud synchronization data for advertising or cross-app tracking.

3. AI Features

Yejian English provides optional AI-assisted features. Only when you actively use these features, information necessary to complete your request will be sent to the AI service provider you select.

This information may include:

Such data is processed by the corresponding AI service provider according to its own terms of service and privacy policy.

Yejian English will not automatically upload an entire book to an AI service provider simply because you are reading a section of it.

4. AI API Keys

If you configure your own AI API Key in Yejian English, the key is stored in Apple's Keychain and is not written to regular application preferences, CloudKit records, or application logs.

If iCloud Keychain is enabled on your device, related Keychain data may be synchronized using Apple's end-to-end encryption mechanism.

Yejian English does not actively upload your AI API Key to its own servers.

You can delete saved AI service API Keys at any time through “Settings → AI Service”.

5. Online Dictionaries and Network Services

Some features require internet access, including:

When you actively use these features, your device connects to the corresponding third-party services. These services may process necessary network information according to their own privacy policies.

6. Built-in Web Browsing

Yejian English provides web browsing and webpage saving features. When you visit third-party websites, you communicate directly with those websites or their service providers.

Third-party websites may use cookies, logs, analytics tools, or other technologies. Such data processing is governed by their own privacy policies.

7. App Store Purchases

In-app purchases and subscriptions in Yejian English are completed through Apple StoreKit and the App Store.

Payment information is processed by Apple. Yejian English does not receive your complete bank card number or full payment credentials.

The application may read purchase and subscription status information provided by Apple to verify purchase status.

8. Data Sharing and Sale

Yejian English does not sell your personal data.

Except where necessary to complete features you actively request, Yejian English does not provide your reading content or personal data to third parties.

9. Data Deletion

You can delete locally stored books, reading records, vocabulary data, mind maps, and related data through features provided in the application.

If you enable iCloud synchronization, some data may also exist in your iCloud storage and will be handled according to Apple's synchronization and data management mechanisms.

10. Children's Privacy

Yejian English is not specifically designed for children and does not collect children's personal data for advertising or cross-app tracking purposes.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as Yejian English evolves. Important changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
