Privacy Policy

This policy applies to Inkzi at getinkzi.com. Inkzi is independently operated by Oleksandr Hubin, who controls personal data used to run accounts and provide the service. Paddle separately controls personal data it processes as Merchant of Record for a purchase. You can contact the operator at [email protected].

• Account data: name, email address, a securely hashed password, account identifiers, and account timestamps.
• Session and security data: session tokens, expiration times, IP address, browser or device user-agent, and security-related records.
• Technical data: ordinary server logs such as request time, route, status, IP address, and diagnostic information needed to secure and operate the service.
• Purchase data: when Pro purchasing is available, Paddle may share customer identifiers, email, country, transaction identifiers, product, price, tax, and entitlement or refund status. Inkzi does not receive or store your complete payment-card number.
• Support data: information you choose to include when requesting help.

Worksheet text and settings are processed in your browser. They are stored in your Inkzi account only when you deliberately choose “Save current” in the worksheet library. To render stroke order, the browser requests data for each unique Chinese character from jsDelivr's copy of hanzi-writer-data. This means the requested character and normal connection information, such as your IP address, are visible to that delivery provider.

English dictionary data is served from Inkzi itself. Printing uses your browser's print dialog. You can remove saved worksheet content from your library at any time.

• create accounts, authenticate users, and keep sessions secure;
• deliver purchased Pro access and respond to account or payment events;
• prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
• maintain, diagnose, and improve reliability;
• respond to support and privacy requests;
• meet tax, accounting, consumer-protection, and other legal obligations.

Depending on your location, these uses rely on performing a contract, legitimate interests in operating and securing the service, compliance with law, or consent where consent is required.

Inkzi uses essential authentication cookies to keep signed-in users logged in and protect sessions. We do not currently use advertising cookies or third-party analytics. Paddle Checkout may use its own cookies and similar technologies under Paddle's privacy notice. Because Inkzi currently uses only essential first-party cookies, it does not display a marketing-cookie consent banner.

• Infrastructure providers that host the application, database, network, and backups.
• jsDelivr when your browser retrieves public stroke-order data.
• Paddle for checkout, payment, tax, fraud prevention, transaction support, refunds, and purchase fulfilment.
• Authorities or professional advisers where disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights and security.

We do not sell personal data or share it for behavioural advertising.

Paddle is the authorised reseller and Merchant of Record for Pro purchases. Payment and checkout data submitted to Paddle is governed by the Paddle Privacy Policy. Paddle may share limited buyer and transaction data with Inkzi so we can fulfil and support your purchase.

Account data and saved worksheets are kept while your account remains active or until you delete them, subject to reasonable backup and security retention. Expired sessions and short-lived verification records are removed or become unusable according to their expiration. Purchase and accounting records may be retained for legally required periods. Support and server-log data is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for its purpose.

We use access controls, hashed passwords, encrypted HTTPS connections, restricted database access, and other reasonable safeguards. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Providers such as Paddle or jsDelivr may process data in other countries and use legal transfer safeguards where required.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of personal data, and to withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.

To make a request, email the Inkzi operator at [email protected]. Do not include passwords, complete payment-card details, or unnecessary identity documents. We may need to verify that the request concerns your account.

Inkzi may be used as an educational tool, but accounts and paid purchases are not directed to children who cannot consent under applicable law. A parent, guardian, school, or teacher should supervise use and provide any consent required locally.

We may update this policy when product features, providers, or legal requirements change. The latest version and update date will remain available on this page. Material changes will be communicated where reasonably possible.
