This website
This policy covers www.sammykorean.com and the 한입 韓入 app. This website sets no cookies and has no analytics or forms. Our host (Cloudflare) and Google Fonts receive your IP address when the page loads. Links to our courses, newsletter and booking page lead to separate pages.
1. Who we are
한입 韓入 ("Hanip", "the app") is a Korean-vocabulary app for Cantonese speakers, operated by SammyKorean Limited, a company registered in Hong Kong ("we", "us"). We handle personal data in line with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) of Hong Kong. Contact: sam@sammykorean.com.
2. What we collect
You can use the app without an account. We do not ask for your name, email or phone number to learn.
| Data | What it is | When | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anonymous usage records | A random device code made by the app (not linked to your name, phone or Apple/Google account), the time, the app version, and what you did — e.g. opened the app, started or finished a lesson, how you rated a word. | Automatically while you use the app | To see which lessons work and fix the ones that don't |
| Where you came from | A short tag such as "ig" if you opened the app from our Instagram link | Automatically, if the link has a tag | To know which posts bring learners |
| WhatsApp number (and name, if you type one) | What you enter on the "notify me" screen, plus the price plan you picked | Only if you submit it | To message you once membership opens |
| Feedback | Your rating, comment and (optional) name, and the words you found hard in that lesson | Only if you send feedback | To improve lessons |
| Notification subscription | A technical address from your browser/phone's push service, linked to the device code | Only if you turn on daily reminders | To send the daily word reminder |
Stored only on your device: your learning progress, streak, settings (e.g. sound on/off) and the device code. This stays in your browser/app storage and is not sent to us except as described above. Deleting the app or clearing site data removes it.
We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, microphone recordings, payment card details or advertising ID.
3. Who processes it for us
- Cloudflare — hosts the app and stores the records above. Like any web host, it processes your IP address to deliver the app; we do not store IP addresses in our records.
- Discord — when you submit feedback or a WhatsApp number, a copy is sent as a private message to our founder's Discord account so we can reply quickly.
- Google Fonts and jsDelivr — deliver the fonts the app uses; they receive your IP address when fonts load.
- Apple, Google or your browser's push service — deliver reminders if you turn them on.
We do not sell personal data, show ads, or track you across other apps and websites.
4. Payments
The app does not take payments today. If paid membership is added in the iOS or Android app, payment is handled by Apple or Google; we never see your card details.
5. How long we keep it
- Anonymous usage records: up to 24 months, then deleted.
- WhatsApp numbers on the waitlist: until 12 months after membership opens, or sooner if you ask.
- Notification subscriptions: until you turn reminders off or the subscription stops working.
6. Your rights and deleting your data
You can ask to see, correct or delete personal data we hold about you. Email sam@sammykorean.com with the WhatsApp number you gave us (for waitlist or feedback data). We reply within 30 days. To remove everything stored on your device, delete the app or clear this site's data in your browser.
Because usage records are anonymous, we cannot link them to you unless you show us your device code; if you send it, we will delete those records too.
7. Children
The app is a general learning tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13; if you believe a child has sent us a phone number, email us and we will delete it.
8. Changes
If we change what we collect, we will update this page and the date above before the change takes effect.
