Premium Subscriptions

When you connect your Patreon account to access premium features, we collect information about your Patreon membership status and tier. This information is used solely to verify your subscription level and provide the appropriate benefits, such as an ad-free experience.

KanaMastery does not store your payment information. All payment processing is handled by Patreon, and is subject to Patreon's own privacy policy and terms of service.

The data we collect about your Patreon membership is stored securely and only accessed when necessary to verify your subscription status.

Leaderboards

KanaMastery features leaderboards that publicly display user rankings, usernames, and scores. By participating in game activities, your username and scores may be displayed on these public leaderboards.

You may opt out of leaderboard participation through your account settings. If you choose to opt out, your scores will not appear on the public leaderboards, but this may limit your ability to participate in certain competitive features.

We recommend using a pseudonym rather than your real name as your username if you wish to maintain greater privacy while participating in leaderboards.
