Cursive Practice Privacy Policy

Effective: October 28, 2026

Cursive Practice is an iPhone and iPad app for learning English cursive handwriting by tracing letters, words and sentences and having each stroke checked. This page explains what the app does with your information.

1. Who is responsible

The operator of Cursive Practice is Kirade (an individual developer). Questions about privacy: kirade.apps+cursivepractice@gmail.com.

Person responsible for privacy: Kirade, kirade.apps+cursivepractice@gmail.com.

2. Where your data is stored

Cursive Practice stores the following on your device:

• Your practice records: for each finished try, which letter, word, sentence line or text it was and its kind (lowercase letter, uppercase letter, a word from a word pack, a line of a sentence, or text you typed), when you wrote it, the score (0 to 100), whether it passed, and the kinds of mistakes found (for example a missing or extra stroke, the start point, the direction, the order or the shape). Your To Practice Again list is worked out from these records. Text you type to practice is kept only in these records, on your device.
• The letters you marked to practice again, and when you marked them
• Your app settings, such as whether anonymous usage statistics are on, the size of the guide, whether a try is checked and moved on automatically, whether the stroke-order demo plays and the numbers and arrows show, and whether you write with or without the guide

Cursive Practice has no accounts and no server of its own for this data. The developer does not receive it, and it is not synced to other devices or through iCloud.

The strokes you write. When you trace a letter or word with your finger or Apple Pencil, the strokes are compared with the model strokes on your device, and nothing is sent over the network for this. The strokes (their coordinates, timing and pressure) and a picture of your writing are not saved: your records keep the score and the result, not the writing.

Writing without the guide. A try you make without the guide is not saved in your records and is not sent as usage statistics. Its match percentage is worked out on your device only.

Deleting the app deletes this data from your device. If you back up your iPhone or iPad (to iCloud or a computer), the backup can include this data, as with most apps.

From time to time, at a point where you have just finished practicing, Cursive Practice may ask you for an App Store rating through Apple’s standard rating prompt. There is no reward for rating. Apple handles your answer under its own policies, and the developer does not receive it.

3. Ads, purchases and tracking

Cursive Practice shows no ads.

Full Access (in-app purchase). Lowercase letters a–z, five uppercase letters (A, C, L, M, S) and five words (love, hello, bloom, dream, grace) to try, the grading, the practice-again list and your records are free. Full Access is a one-time purchase that adds the other uppercase letters, all word packs, sentence practice and your own text. It is not a subscription and does not renew. Your records and the practice you have already done are never locked, whether or not you buy Full Access. The price is set by Apple for your App Store country and is shown by Apple before you buy.

• Apple processes the payment. The developer does not receive your payment details or information about your Apple account.
• Whether you have bought Full Access is checked on your device from Apple’s purchase records (StoreKit). The developer has no server and does not keep a list of buyers.
• To get Full Access again after reinstalling the app or on another device that uses the same Apple Account, use Restore Purchases. Refunds are handled by Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com); the developer cannot issue them.

Tracking. Cursive Practice does not use the iOS advertising identifier (IDFA), does not show the iOS tracking permission prompt, and does not link your data with data from other companies’ apps and websites for advertising or share it with data brokers.

4. Usage statistics (PostHog)

To understand how features are used and to improve the app, Cursive Practice sends usage events to the analytics service of PostHog, Inc.

What is sent

• What happened in the app and its kind:
  • The app was opened (when it becomes active for the first time, and when you come back to it from the background).
  • A try was checked and saved: the kind (lowercase letter, uppercase letter, word, sentence line or your own text), the result (passed, or put on the practice-again list), and where you started it from (the Practice tab, the practice-again list in the Records tab, or the Next button on the trace screen). It is not sent if saving fails. A try made without the guide is not saved, so it is not sent either.
  • The practice-again list was opened in the Records tab (only when it has at least one letter).
• Purchases, by kind only: the Full Access payment screen was opened (and where from: a locked uppercase letter, word, sentence or your own text, or Settings; not sent if you already have Full Access); Full Access was purchased from the payment screen (and from which place); purchases were restored (when Full Access is on afterwards). Purchases approved later through Ask to Buy, made on another device or restored are not sent as purchases.
• When each event happened, the app name, version and build, build type (App Store, TestFlight or development), operating system and version, device manufacturer, model and type, language, time zone, screen size, network type (Wi-Fi or cellular)
• A random identifier created when the app is installed. It is deleted with the app and replaced when you reinstall.

What is not sent

• Which letters or words you wrote, which sentence or line you wrote, the name of a word pack, any identifier of a letter, word or line, the text you typed to practice, its length or its letters, your strokes (coordinates, timing, pressure) and drawings, your scores, the match percentage, the mistakes found, the dates stored in your records (only the time of each event is sent, as listed above), whether you used a finger or Apple Pencil, anything else you type, your name, your email address, the advertising identifier (IDFA), device identifiers such as the identifier for vendors (IDFV), location, and, for purchases, the price, currency, product ID, transaction ID or any information about your Apple Account
• The app does not create a user profile and does not link usage events to anything that identifies you. PostHog receives your IP address while the data is transmitted, but the project is set not to derive location from it and not to store it.

Where it is stored. PostHog stores the data in the United States.

How to turn it off or on. Settings → Send Anonymous Usage Statistics. Usage after you turn the switch off is not sent. Events that were already waiting on your device at that moment may still be sent while the app stays open, or later if you turn the switch back on. The app works the same whether the switch is on or off. For users whose App Store country is in the EEA, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the switch is off by default and nothing is sent until you turn it on. The app does not show a pop-up asking about this. Users elsewhere have it on by default. Until the app can tell your App Store country, it sends nothing.

Retention. Events are kept by PostHog for 1 year and are no longer queryable after that. They are used only to improve the app.

5. Feedback mail

Settings → Send Feedback opens your mail app with a message to kirade.apps+cursivepractice@gmail.com. The message contains the app version, your iOS version and your device model, and never your practice records, scores or the letters you wrote. You can edit it before sending. The developer receives it only if you press Send, and uses it only to answer you and to fix problems. The mail passes through your own mail provider.

6. Users in the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland

• Anonymous usage statistics are off by default for you. They are sent only if you turn on Send Anonymous Usage Statistics in Settings, and you can turn them off again at any time.
• Cursive Practice shows no ads, so there is no advertising consent form.
• The developer does not receive or keep your practice records. They are on your device, so you can see them in the app and delete them by deleting the app (section 7). If you turn on usage statistics, they describe your actions by kind only (section 4).
• PostHog processes data under its own policy. To use your rights with PostHog, see PostHog’s Privacy Policy and section 4.

7. Deleting data and how long it is kept

• Delete a letter from the practice-again list: a letter you marked yourself can be removed by swiping it away in the To Practice Again list. A letter whose last try did not pass leaves the list when you pass it. This does not delete your practice records.
• Delete a typed text: on the Your Own Text screen, swipe it away under Practiced Before. This deletes that text and all its practice records from your device.
• Delete the app: deletes your practice records and the other data in section 2 from your device. It also deletes the random identifier used for usage statistics. In this version the app has no button that deletes practice records on their own, except for typed texts (above).
• Stop usage statistics: turn off Send Anonymous Usage Statistics in Settings.

How long data is kept:

• Data on your device stays until you delete the app.
• The developer holds no copy of your practice records, so there is nothing of them on the developer’s side to delete.
• Usage events already sent are kept by PostHog for 1 year. Because they are tied only to a random identifier, the developer cannot tell which events are yours and cannot delete them one by one.

8. Transfers of personal information outside Korea

Below are the items listed in Article 28-8(2) of Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act for the one company that receives information from the app.

PostHog (usage statistics)

Cursive Practice shares user data only with the provider named in this policy: PostHog (usage statistics). Under its published terms and policies, PostHog protects user data at a level the same as or equal to what this policy describes.

9. Your rights

You can see your practice records in the app, remove letters you marked to practice again, delete a text you typed, and delete everything on your device by deleting the app (section 7). The developer holds no copy of your practice records and does not know who you are, so there is almost nothing to look up. If you still have a request or a complaint, write to kirade.apps+cursivepractice@gmail.com. For data held by PostHog, you can also contact them using the link above.

You can change your usage statistics choice at any time (section 4).

10. TestFlight

If you install a test build through Apple’s TestFlight, the developer can see in App Store Connect the email address and name you were invited with, your sessions and crashes (depending on your iOS analytics settings), and any feedback you send, including screenshots. Apple provides this data. Cursive Practice does not collect it itself.

11. Children

Cursive Practice is not directed to children under 14 (under 13 in the United States). It is for adults and students aged 14 and older (13 and older in the United States). If you believe a child has used the app, contact kirade.apps+cursivepractice@gmail.com.

12. Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is posted here with a new effective date.
