ABC Adventure

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how ABC Adventure handles information when a child or parent uses the app. It is written for parents and guardians and applies to the ABC Adventure mobile application. The developer is Uwem Etim. Please read this policy with the data disclosures in the Google Play listing.

2. About ABC Adventure

ABC Adventure is a free, offline-first early-learning app designed primarily for young children. Its features include:

• Exploring all 26 letters, practising phonics and tracing uppercase and lowercase letters.
• Matching letters with words and pictures, and playing memory and recognition games.
• Discovering animals and educational facts.
• Earning stars, trophies, and achievement badges, and viewing learning progress.
• Following Barnaby the owl through activities and using Parents' Corner settings.
• Selecting American or British English pronunciation and available device voices and speech speed.
• Optionally enabling parent-controlled learning reminders, progress updates, weekend activities, and calendar reminders.

The app is designed to be free of advertisements, subscriptions, and in-app purchases.

3. Intended audience

ABC Adventure is designed primarily for children aged 2–5, with parents and guardians responsible for setting up and supervising use. A child account is not required.

4. Children's privacy

We aim to avoid unnecessary collection of children's personal information. The described learning activities do not require a child's name, email address, phone number, or social profile. We do not intend to use children's information for behavioural advertising or profiling. The app's release build, permissions, network behavior, and included services must be checked to confirm these practices; this website repository does not contain the mobile app implementation.

5. Information we collect

Based on the app features supplied for this policy, ABC Adventure uses learning activity information (such as letters explored, activities completed, and achievements earned) to present progress and rewards. It can also use parent-selected settings, such as pronunciation, speech, and reminder preferences, to provide those features.

We have not been given the app's source code, SDK inventory, server configuration, or network behavior. We therefore cannot confirm whether the app or any included service collects diagnostics, device or app identifiers, or other technical data, or whether progress and preferences ever leave the device. We do not claim that all information stays on the device.

6. Information we do not intentionally collect

The described app features do not call for a child to submit identity or contact details, precise location, contacts, photos, or payment information. The app is not intended to record a child's voice or create a child profile for advertising. These are product intentions, not an independent audit of the release build or third-party components.

The app's Android permissions and SDK behavior must be reviewed before release. If the app or a service processes any of these data types, this policy and the Google Play Data safety form must be updated to describe what is processed, why, and with whom it is shared. The child-directed release and its SDKs must also be checked to ensure they do not transmit the Android advertising ID or other prohibited persistent identifiers.

7. Locally stored information

Learning progress and parent-selected settings are information the app may need to remember between sessions. The product information provided does not establish where these values are stored, whether Android device backup includes them, or whether any synchronization occurs. We cannot promise that they are stored only locally until those implementation details have been verified.

8. Learning progress and achievements

Progress may include letters explored, activities completed, and stars, trophies, or badges earned. These records support the app's progress display and rewards; they are not intended to be used to profile a child or serve targeted advertising. Their storage, backup, and deletion behavior must be confirmed against the release build.

9. Speech and pronunciation services

ABC Adventure offers American and British English pronunciation options and device voices with speech playback controls. Speech may be provided by the text-to-speech engine selected on the device. The selected engine may be supplied by the device manufacturer or another provider and may have its own data practices; whether speech is processed on-device or online depends on that engine and its configuration. We have not verified which engines the app invokes or whether any speech input is processed. Parents can review the device's speech settings and the selected engine's privacy information.

10. Device permissions

The exact permissions requested by ABC Adventure depend on its Android release and must be checked in the app manifest and on-device. Optional notifications may require the operating system's notification permission on supported Android versions. The supplied feature description does not establish whether calendar or any other permission is requested. Parents can review or revoke app permissions in Android settings; a feature that relies on a revoked permission may not work.

11. Notifications

Optional parent-controlled reminders may include learning reminders, progress updates, weekend activities, and calendar reminders. Parents should be able to control whether these reminders are enabled and manage notification permission through Android. The app's notification scheduling method, any service involved in delivery, and the information shown in notifications have not been verified. A notification may be visible on a device lock screen depending on its settings.

12. School calendar and holiday preferences

The product description includes parent-selected school calendar or holiday preferences for planning reminders. It does not confirm whether ABC Adventure reads from or writes to the device calendar, or whether it uses only dates selected inside the app. We do not claim that calendar event details are accessed. The actual calendar integration, permissions, and storage must be confirmed before submission; any calendar data accessed must be described here and in the Google Play Data safety form.

13. Location information

No location-based feature is described for ABC Adventure, and location is not needed for the learning activities described. The app manifest and any included SDKs must still be checked to confirm that location permission or location data is not used.

14. Third-party services

Android system services may provide functions such as text-to-speech and notifications. Their processing is governed by the relevant platform or service provider terms. We have not received a verified list of third-party SDKs or services included in the app, so we cannot state that none are present. Before publication, the developer must identify every SDK and service and review whether it collects or shares data, including diagnostic or device information, and whether it is appropriate for a child-directed app.

15. Data sharing

The product is not intended to sell children's information or share it for behavioural advertising or child profiling. Because the app's technical data flows and service providers have not been verified, we cannot make a broader claim that no information is transmitted to or processed by third parties. Any such collection or sharing must be disclosed here and in Google Play Console before release.

16. Advertising and payments

ABC Adventure is described as free, with no advertisements, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. It is not intended to use advertising identifiers or behavioural advertising. The release build and Play Console declarations should be checked to confirm that no ad or payment SDK contradicts this description.

17. Data security

We take children's privacy seriously, but the app's storage design, transmission protections, and security controls have not been supplied for independent verification. We do not claim that information is encrypted, stored on a particular server, or protected by a particular certification. The developer should document and maintain safeguards appropriate to the information and services actually used.

18. Data retention

The app may retain progress and parent settings to provide continuity between sessions. The exact retention period, behavior after inactivity, and any server-side retention cannot be confirmed from the information available. Any provider that receives information may retain it under its own applicable terms. These details must be verified and stated accurately before submission.

19. Data deletion

Parents can use Android settings to clear ABC Adventure's app data or uninstall the app; the result for device backups or information held by a service depends on the app's implementation and Android backup settings. No child account or in-app account deletion process is described. If you have a question or deletion request, contact the developer. We will need to confirm whether any information exists outside the device and how it can be deleted.

20. Parental rights and controls

Parents and guardians can supervise use, manage app and notification permissions in Android settings, and configure the options provided in Parents' Corner. A parent who believes a child has provided personal information, or who wants to ask about, access, correct, or request deletion of information associated with the app, can contact the developer using the details below. We will review the request and explain what information can be located and what action is available.

21. Offline functionality

ABC Adventure is designed to work offline-first. This does not mean that the app never connects to the internet: the app's network behavior has not been verified, and the selected speech engine, operating system services, or other included components may require a connection. We do not promise that every feature works offline.

22. International users and privacy requirements

The app may be available to families in different countries, where privacy rights and rules for children's information vary. Parents may contact the developer with questions or requests relating to their rights under applicable law. This policy does not claim certification or legal compliance under COPPA, GDPR, or any other law; the developer must assess applicable requirements for each distribution region.

23. Changes to this policy

We may revise this policy when the app's features, data practices, or legal requirements change. The revised policy will be posted at this URL with an updated effective date. Parents should review it periodically, especially before a child uses a substantially changed version of the app.
