Privacy Policy
We abide by Confucian ethics, not just teach them. Daoxue Academy does not collect user data in our apps, nor are we associated with third parties.
Updated July, 2026
Data Collection
The Four Books App does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers. All app data (bookmarks, reading preferences, viewed verses) is stored locally on your device.
Third-Party Services
Our apps do not use any third-party analytics, advertising networks, or tracking services.
Sync & Backup
On Apple devices, if you have iCloud enabled, your bookmarks and reading progress sync across your devices through Apple's iCloud Key-Value storage. This data is governed by Apple's privacy policy. On Android devices, your bookmarks and reading progress are included in Android's automatic backup to your own Google Drive account, so they survive reinstalls and device changes. This data is governed by Google's privacy policy. In both cases the data belongs to your personal Apple or Google account — we never see it.
In-App Purchases
Purchases are processed through Apple's App Store or Google Play. Payment information is handled entirely by Apple or Google and is not accessible to us.
Data Retention & Deletion
Since no data is collected by us, there is no data to delete. To remove local app data, uninstall the app from your device.
