Privacy Policy
Kidzee Jolly Phonics β Last updated: June 2025
Kidzee Jolly Phonics (βthe Appβ) is a phonics learning app designed for young children, built using the Jolly Phonics method. We take children's privacy extremely seriously. This Privacy Policy explains clearly what data is collected, how it is used, and the rights of parents and guardians.
πΆ1. Who This App Is For
This App is designed for children of all ages, including children under 13. It is intended to be used under parental supervision or as a classroom tool. We comply fully with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applicable international children's privacy laws.
π2. Information We Collect
We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) from children or adults. Specifically, we do not collect:
- βNames, email addresses, or phone numbers
- βPhotos, videos, or audio recordings
- βLocation data (GPS or IP-based)
- βDevice contacts or calendar data
- βAny account registration or login information
The following data is stored locally on the device only using SQLite and SharedPreferences, and never transmitted to any server:
- βPhonics learning progress and stars earned
- βLetters and groups completed
- βDaily challenge streak count
- βApp preferences (e.g. sound on/off)
All progress data stays on the child's device. Uninstalling the app removes all stored data permanently.
π3. Push Notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging)
The App uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)by Google to send optional push notifications, such as daily learning reminders (e.g. βTime to practice phonics! πβ).
FCM may use a device token to deliver notifications. This token:
- Does not identify the child personally
- Is used only to route notifications to the correct device
- Is not shared with any third party for advertising
Notifications can be disabled at any time in the device's system settings. Firebase's data practices are governed by the Firebase Privacy Policy.
π΅4. Audio & Text-to-Speech
The App uses Flutter TTS (Text-to-Speech) to read letters, words, and phonics sounds aloud to children. This feature:
- Runs entirely on-device
- Does not record or transmit any audio
- Does not listen to the child's voice
Sound effects (letter pops, taps) are bundled locally within the app and require no internet connection.
π΅5. No Advertising
Kidzee Jolly Phonics contains absolutely no advertisements. We do not use Google AdMob, Facebook Audience Network, or any other ad network. Children will never see ads inside this app.
We do not use any advertising identifiers (IDFA / GAID) for any purpose.
π6. Third-Party SDKs & Services
The App integrates only the following third-party libraries:
Firebase Core & Cloud Messaging
Push notification delivery (daily reminders only)
Firebase Privacy Policy βSQLite (sqflite) & SharedPreferences
Local on-device storage of progress only β no data leaves the device

π7. Internet Permission
The App requests internet access solely for:
- Receiving optional push notification reminders via FCM
- Loading Google Fonts at runtime
The core learning experience β phonics groups, flashcards, tracing, quizzes, games, and all progress β works fully offline without any internet connection.
π¨βπ©βπ§8. Parental Rights (COPPA)
As a parent or guardian, you have the right to:
- Reviewany data stored by the app (all data is local β you can view it by checking the app's storage in device settings)
- Delete all data by uninstalling the app or clearing app data in device settings
- Refuse further data collection by disabling notifications in system settings
- Contact us at any time with questions or concerns
Since we do not collect personal information, there is no account to delete and no server-side data to request removal of.
π9. Data Security
All learning progress is stored locally on the child's device using standard Android/iOS secure storage. We do not operate any servers or databases that store information about users. There is no user account, no login, and no cloud sync.
π10. International Users & GDPR
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom, we confirm:
- No personal data is collected or processed
- No consent is required as no personal data is handled
- Firebase FCM device tokens are processed under Google's legitimate interest for notification delivery
π11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app or applicable laws. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. We encourage parents to review this policy periodically.
