Privacy Policy

App data and its purposes

The texts, commentary, and casting readings are bundled with the app. Core features do not require an internet connection. The app requires no registration or sign-in and offers no online AI generation service.

The app stores the following on your device to provide its features.

• Casting results, changing lines, method and steps, date, time, and time zone, so you can keep and revisit your records.
• Questions, casting notes, and reading notes you enter to record your reflections.
• Reading progress and unfinished casts, so you can continue where you left off.
• Preferences such as your display language.

The app does not automatically upload this content to the developer. This version contains no ads, cross-app tracking, or third-party behavioral analytics SDKs. We do not sell your personal data.

Device storage and system backups

Guan Xiang has no developer-operated account or cloud sync service. Data generally remains on your device until you delete the content or the app.

If you enable iCloud Backup, computer backups, or device migration, the system may include app data in those backups or transfers, depending on Apple’s features and your settings. Apple or the backup tool you choose provides this service. The developer cannot access your system backups.

Optional iCloud sync and the Daily Hexagram widget

You can enable sync in Settings → Backup, Restore & iCloud Sync. Casting records, including questions, notes, and saved readings, reading notes, and reading progress are stored in your Apple Account’s private CloudKit space and synced across devices using that account. The developer does not receive this content. Unfinished casts and language preferences are not uploaded. Turning sync off does not delete synced data.

Deletions also sync. If an item is edited on multiple devices, the latest edit is kept. Offline changes are stored locally and retried when you open the app online. To delete synced content, delete all data with sync enabled and wait for sync to complete.

Full backups include notes, reading progress, and casting records. You can save them through Files and merge them back into the app. A local safety copy is saved before restoring. Exported files and safety copies are not removed when you delete ordinary records. Manage those copies separately. The Daily Hexagram widget shares only the daily hexagram and display language with the main app. It does not read private notes or casting records.

Access, export, and deletion

You can view and edit records and notes in the app. Settings → Privacy & Data includes Export All Records and Delete All Local Data. The text export includes saved casting records and reading notes.

Deleting the app normally removes its data from the device. Offloading an app in iOS may retain documents and data. Exported files, sent emails, and system backups are not removed when you delete data in the app. Manage them where they are stored.

We do not hold your local records and cannot read, restore, or remotely delete them for you. Export anything you want to keep before deleting data or changing devices.

Sharing and support

In addition to iCloud sync you enable, content you choose to share or export, emails you send, and external links you open are handled by the relevant app or service under its privacy policy. Review the content before sharing or sending it to avoid disclosing private questions or notes unnecessarily.

If you email us, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments or device information you provide. We use this information to respond, address the issue, and follow up as needed. We do not use it for advertising. We retain support emails for as long as needed to handle the issue and delete them when no longer needed, except where retention is required by law.

To request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you sent in a support email, contact us using the address below. We will process the request after verifying the necessary information.

Apple platform services

Apple provides App Store downloads, system backups, and system diagnostics. Apple may process related data according to your settings and its policies and provide developers with platform statistics or diagnostic information. Guan Xiang does not add third-party tracking SDKs.

See Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements on your device for relevant options. Names may vary by system version. See Apple’s Privacy Policy for details.

This website and GitHub Pages

This website provides product information, support, and the privacy policy. When published on GitHub Pages, GitHub provides static website hosting. These pages contain no ads, trackers, analytics scripts, external fonts, or third-party forms and do not set cookies.

When you visit the website, GitHub may process technical data such as your IP address to provide and secure its hosting service. Private records in the app are not uploaded to this website. See GitHub’s Privacy Statement for information about its processing.

Policy updates

We will update this policy and its date if data practices or product features change. If we add features that collect or transmit personal data, we will explain them before you enable them and obtain consent where applicable law requires it. Available features depend on the app version.
