Privacy Policy

Tikou ("we", "us") is a service operated by TonSync Studio LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, and operates tikou.org. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. The Service is intended for users in the United States.

1. Information we collect

• You give us: your name and email address (to create and secure your account), and records of your purchases.
• You create by using the Service: your practice attempts, answers, scores, and progress.
• Payment information: handled directly by our payment processor, Stripe. We receive confirmation of a payment and limited details (such as the last four digits of your card), but we do not receive or store your full card number.
• Collected automatically by our servers and hosting provider: basic technical data in server logs, such as IP address, browser type, and requested pages, used to operate and secure the Service and to fix problems. We do not use this for analytics or for tracking you across other websites.

2. How we use it

To provide the Service (accounts, purchases, practicing, tracking your progress); to process payments; to send account and transactional emails such as sign-up verification and password resets; to send occasional product updates only if you opt in (off by default — you can turn it on any time in Settings); to keep the Service secure; and to comply with law.

3. Cookies and tracking

We use browser storage (such as localStorage) to keep you signed in and to remember your preferences (theme, language). We do not use cookies or storage for advertising or for cross-site tracking, and we do not currently use third-party advertising or analytics trackers. Because we do not track you across other websites, we do not respond differently to "Do Not Track" browser signals. If this changes, we will update this policy first.

4. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who run the Service on our behalf, under contract:

• Stripe — payment processing.
• Amazon Web Services (AWS) — hosting, account management (Amazon Cognito), data storage, and transactional email (Amazon SES).

5. Where your data is stored

On AWS servers in the United States.

6. How long we keep it

As long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service, meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations, and resolve disputes. When no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

7. Your choices and rights

You can view your account information in Settings and opt out of product-update emails there. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, email support@tikou.org; we will verify your identity before acting.

8. California residents

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" of it. We do not sell or share your personal information, and we do not collect "sensitive personal information" as defined by California law. To exercise these rights, contact support@tikou.org; we will verify your request and respond within the time the law allows. We will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

9. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy; the "Last updated" date shows the current version, and we will flag material changes.
