What the app keeps, and where.

1What the app keeps on the device

The app keeps only a child’s lesson progress, in its own storage on the device:

• which lessons are finished;
• for each letter and word, whether it has been practised, and the results of the child’s last five answers.

It does not keep what a child draws with a finger. Those touches are used only while the child draws, to check the drawing, and are then discarded.

2What the app does not ask for

The app asks for no name, age, birthday, email address, photo or location. It asks for no permission to use the camera, the microphone, contacts or notifications.

It has no account or sign-in, no advertising, no analytics or crash-reporting tools and no advertising identifier. It makes no network requests.

3Phone backups

The app has no backup of its own. A backup of an iPhone, to iCloud or to a computer, can include app data, so it may hold a copy of the progress. Restoring that backup can bring the progress back.

We cannot see or reach these backups. Your device and its backup settings control them.

4Deleting the app’s data

Deleting the app from the device removes what it kept there. Copies in phone backups stay until those backups are changed or deleted.

5If you email us

If you write to us, we receive your email address and your message, and we use them to answer you and to fix problems. Please do not send your child’s name, photos or other details about your child; we do not need them.

6Children

Palaka Balapam is made for children aged 6 to 8, and it is being built for the App Store Kids category. The app collects no personal information from a child or a parent. It keeps lesson progress on the device and sends nothing anywhere.

This website is written for parents, not for children.

7This website

This website sets no cookies and adds no scripts, analytics tools, advertising or forms of its own. It loads its fonts and pictures from this website, not from anyone else.

It is hosted on Google’s Firebase Hosting, which receives the technical details of each request, such as your IP address. Google says that Firebase Hosting uses the IP addresses of incoming requests to detect abuse and to give site owners, such as us, detailed analysis of usage data. Google also says that Firebase Hosting keeps IP data for a few months. Google describes this on its Firebase privacy page, firebase.google.com/support/privacy.

8Changes

Palaka Balapam is being built. If what the app keeps or sends changes, we will update this policy and the date at the top.
