Privacy Policy

1. About this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Learn & Play Kids (the "App") handles information. The App is published by LearnEbooks Publisher ("we", "us", or "our").

The App is an educational and play-based mobile application intended for children approximately 2–8 years old. It contains 16 educational game modules, together with a local stars and progress system. The modules provide age-appropriate learning and play activities.

Our V1 design is offline-first. Core learning activities are intended to work without an internet connection. This policy describes that design and applies while the released App operates as described here.

2. Children's Privacy

We take children's privacy seriously. The App is designed for young children and provides educational activities without requiring children to identify themselves or create an account.

• Children are not asked to provide their name, email address, phone number, home address, or other direct contact details to play.
• The described V1 does not provide child-to-child messaging, public profiles, chat rooms, social networking, or public user-generated content.
• The App is not designed to collect precise location, contacts, photographs, videos, or voice recordings.
• Parents can use the Parent Section to review local progress and settings.

Parents and guardians should supervise children's use of mobile devices and contact us if they believe a child has provided personal information to us.

3. Information We Handle

Information stored locally on the device

To provide basic App functionality, the App may save limited app-related information on the device, such as:

• Stars or rewards earned inside the games.
• Which games or activities have been completed.
• Basic learning progress needed to show progress in the App.
• App preferences, such as sound settings, where implemented.

This information is intended to remain on the device and is stored using local device storage (AsyncStorage). It is not designed to be sent to our servers.

Information children are not asked to provide

The described V1 does not require a child account or login and is not designed to collect a child's name, email address, phone number, date of birth, precise location, contacts, photographs, or microphone recordings.

Support communications

If a parent or guardian contacts us by email or phone, we receive the information they choose to include, such as their contact details and message. We use it to respond to the enquiry and provide support. Please do not include a child's sensitive personal information unless necessary to explain the issue.

Diagnostics

The V1 described in this policy is not intended to include advertising, analytics, or crash-reporting SDKs. If a future release adds diagnostics or another third-party service, this policy will be updated to explain the information involved.

4. Local Storage and App Progress

The App uses local storage (AsyncStorage) to remember app-related information such as stars, completed activities, basic progress, and settings. This helps preserve a child's progress between sessions.

• Local progress is stored on the device where the App is installed.
• It is not associated with an online child profile or account.
• Uninstalling the App or clearing its app data may remove locally stored progress and preferences.
• The Parent Section may provide an option to reset progress. Using that option can permanently clear the locally saved progress covered by the reset.

We do not provide cloud synchronization or online backup of game progress in the described V1.

5. Permissions and Device Features

The App is designed to use only the device capabilities needed for its educational activities. It should not need access to a child's contacts, location, camera, photo library, or microphone.

Audio playback and spoken instructions

The App may play sound effects or bundled audio to provide feedback. It may also use the device's text-to-speech capability to speak educational content, where enabled. These are output features; the App is not designed to record a child's voice or capture microphone audio.

The device's installed text-to-speech service may be provided by the device manufacturer or operating-system provider and is subject to that provider's own settings and privacy terms. The App does not operate its own online audio service in the described V1.

Permissions may vary by release

Android may include system-level permissions because of the app framework or bundled libraries. We review permissions in each release and aim to remove permissions that are not needed. The permissions in the final published Android build take precedence over assumptions made during development. If a release adds a permission or feature that changes information handling, this policy will be revised.

6. Sharing and Third-Party Services

In the V1 described here, the App does not use an app-operated backend, cloud database, advertising network, analytics service, or social network to process children's game activity. Local game progress is not designed to be transmitted to LearnEbooks Publisher.

The App may rely on operating-system features, such as the device's text-to-speech engine. Those platform services operate under their respective providers' terms and privacy policies.

We do not sell children's personal information. We do not share children's personal information with advertisers for targeted advertising in the described V1.

If we introduce a third-party SDK, online service, advertising, analytics, account feature, cloud sync, or other data-sharing functionality in a later version, we will review the data practices and update this policy and applicable store disclosures.

7. Internet Access and External Links

The core educational games are intended to work offline after installation. The described V1 does not require a child to visit an external website or use an online account to play.

If the App includes a link to our privacy policy, support contact, or publisher website in a Parent Section, that link should be clearly separated from the child gameplay area and intended for parents or guardians. Parents should supervise any browser opened from the device.

If external links, online content, or network-dependent features are added, we will update this section to explain what opens, what information may be transmitted, and relevant third-party practices.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

Local game progress and preferences remain on the device until they are reset, the App's data is cleared, or the App is uninstalled, subject to the device's operating-system behavior.

We do not retain a copy of local game progress on our own servers in the described V1. Support messages sent to us may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain support records, and meet applicable legal obligations.

A parent or guardian may request help regarding a support message by contacting us using the details below.

9. Information for Parents and Guardians

Parents and guardians can:

• Review the App's privacy information through the Parent Section.
• Review stars and completed games stored locally.
• Change available sound preferences.
• Use the reset option in Parent Settings to clear local progress, if provided.
• Contact us with questions or concerns about privacy.

We do not offer an online account portal for viewing or deleting a child's game progress because the described V1 stores that progress locally on the device.

10. Security

We design the App to minimize the information it handles. Keeping progress on the device and avoiding child accounts and a backend reduces the amount of information that needs to be transmitted or stored by us.

No method of storing information on a device or transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Parents and guardians should use the device's security features and keep access to the device under appropriate supervision.

11. International Use

Learn & Play Kids may be made available to users in different countries. The described V1 is designed to store game progress locally rather than transfer it to our servers. If you contact us, your support communication may be handled from India, where the publisher operates. Applicable privacy rights may vary by location.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the App changes, when we add or remove features, or when legal or platform requirements change. The updated policy will be posted at this page with a revised effective date.

Parents and guardians should review this page periodically, particularly after an App update. Material changes to the App's data practices will be reflected in the policy before or when those changes are introduced.

13. Contact Us

If you are a parent or guardian and have questions, concerns, or a privacy request relating to Learn & Play Kids, contact the publisher:

Please contact us through a parent or guardian rather than asking a child to send personal information.
