About This Policy
SmartPhonics (“we”, “our”, “us”) is a preschool English learning app focused on phonics. This policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information. We keep data collection minimal and child-safe.
Compliance overview: aligned with India’s DPDP Act 2023, GDPR/UK GDPR, and COPPA (US).
Information We Collect
Child Information
- First name or nickname (optional)
- Age range (e.g., 3–6)
- Learning progress: lessons done, phonics sounds mastered, badges
Kid-friendly note: We use a nickname if you want. No addresses or phone numbers asked from kids.
Parent/Guardian Information
- Email / phone for account and reports
- Login credentials and subscription info
- Support messages you send us
Device & Diagnostic Data
- Device type, OS, app version, language
- Crash logs and performance metrics
- Approximate region (from IP) for service quality
We do not collect sensitive identifiers (e.g., Aadhaar), exact GPS, or payment card numbers directly. Purchases are processed by trusted payment providers.
How We Use Information
- Deliver phonics lessons, games, and activities
- Show progress to parents and tailor difficulty
- Send reminders, certificates, and updates
- Fix bugs, prevent abuse, and secure accounts
- Meet legal obligations (e.g., receipts, taxes)
No ads or profiling for children. We do not sell personal data.
Parental Consent & Control
- Parents create/approve accounts; children don’t sign up alone
- Parents can access, correct, export, or delete a child’s data
- Withdraw consent anytime—some features may stop working
Data Retention
We store progress data while the account is active. On deletion request, we erase personal data within a reasonable time unless retention is required by law (e.g., accounting records).
Children’s Privacy
We design for preschoolers with parent oversight. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child without parental consent. For US users under 13, we follow COPPA, including verifiable parental consent where required.
Security
- Encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
- Role-based access and secure storage
- Regular updates and audits
Despite safeguards, no method is 100% secure. Please supervise your child’s use.
International Users
Your information may be stored or processed in other countries. When we transfer data, we implement appropriate legal safeguards.
