01Summary
Kidoo collects nothing. There is no account, no advertising, no analytics and no crash reporting, and the app has no way to send data anywhere.
The app does not ask Android for internet access. That is not a policy we could quietly change — it is a restriction the operating system places on the app, and it means no advert, tracker or upload is technically possible.
Everything the app remembers — bookmarks, your place in a story, stars, and your display choices — is stored on your own device and nowhere else.
Because the app is for children, it is worth being plain: there is nothing collected from anyone, of any age, at any point.
02Data safety at a glance
These are the same answers declared in the Google Play Console "Data safety" form for this app.
- Data collected by us
- No data collected by the developer
- Data shared
- No data shared by the developer
- Encryption in transit
- Nothing is transmitted at all, so there is no connection to encrypt
- Can you delete your data
- Yes — clear the app’s data or uninstall it to remove everything
03Other companies involved
Every outside company this app relies on, what it does for the app, and what it can see.
No other company is involved at all. This app has no advertising, no analytics, no crash reporting and nothing that tracks you. Nothing about you is shared with anyone, because nothing is collected in the first place.
04Information we collect
None. We do not collect personal information, usage data, analytics, crash reports or device identifiers, and there is no advertising anywhere in the app. We run no servers and keep no database, so there is nowhere for your information to be sent even if we wanted it.
The app never asks for a name, an email address, an age or a photograph. There is no sign-up screen because there is no account.
05The app has no internet access
Kidoo asks Android for no permissions at all. Among the ones it does not ask for is permission to use the internet, and that matters more than a promise would: an app can only reach the network if it declares that it needs to, and Android holds it to that declaration. Since Kidoo never makes it, the app cannot contact us or anyone else.
The practical consequences are worth spelling out. No adverts can load. No analytics can report. Nothing can be downloaded mid-story. And nothing your child does in the app can be observed by us, because none of it ever leaves the phone.
06What stays on your phone
The app keeps a small amount of information so it can pick up where you left off. All of it is stored in the app’s own private space on your device:
- Which stories are bookmarked
- A list of story identifiers — the app’s own internal names for the books, not anything about you.
- Where you are in each story
- The page last open, when it was last opened, and whether the story has been finished.
- Stars and days read
- How many stars have been earned and how many consecutive days a story was finished on.
- Your display and reading choices
- Night or day palette, whether easy-reading spacing is on, whether read-aloud is on, and which reading limit was chosen along with when the current session ends.
That is the complete list. None of it identifies anyone, and none of it is transmitted.
07Your phone’s own backup
One precise point, because the rest of this policy is strong and it should not be overstated. Android has a backup feature of its own that copies app settings into your Google account, and it is enabled for this app. So while Kidoo itself cannot send anything anywhere, your phone may include the small list above in the backup it makes for you.
That backup is between you, your device and Google; we never see it and we have no access to it. You can turn Android’s backup off for good in your phone’s own settings if you would rather it did not happen. Nothing personal is in it either way, because the app never collects anything personal to put there.
08Reading a story aloud
Where a story can read itself out, it does so by handing the words to whatever text-to-speech voice your phone already uses. That voice is part of your device, not part of this app, and it is the same one your phone uses everywhere else.
We mention it because it is the one moment when text from a story is passed to software we did not write. Most such voices work entirely on the device; what any particular one does is governed by its own settings and its own policy, which you can review in your phone’s settings. Kidoo sends nothing itself, and cannot.
09Children
This app is made for children, so the usual sentence about not being directed at them does not apply. Instead, the point is simpler: the app collects nothing from anyone, children included. There is no profile to build, no identifier to attach anything to, no advertising to personalise, and no third party involved at any point.
A parent can hand the phone over without configuring anything first. If you would rather set a limit on how long a sitting lasts, the app has one, and getting past it needs a sum a small child is unlikely to solve.
10Other companies
There are none. No advertising network, no analytics provider, no crash-reporting service, no content delivery network and no payment processor, because the app is free and has nothing to sell. The app is built from open-source components that run entirely on your phone and transmit nothing.
11Keeping and deleting your data
What the app remembers stays on your phone until you remove it. Clearing the app’s data from your device settings resets it to a fresh install, and uninstalling the app deletes everything it held.
Since no copy exists anywhere else, that is the end of it. There is no account to close and no request to make of us.
12Your rights and choices
Most privacy policies use this section to explain how to ask a company for a copy of your data, or to have it corrected or erased. Here there is nothing to ask for, because we never receive any of it. These are the controls you actually have:
- Remove a bookmark, or clear the app’s data to reset every stored preference and position.
- Uninstall the app to delete everything it kept.
- Turn Android’s own backup off in your phone’s settings if you do not want the app’s settings copied to your Google account.
- Set a reading limit, so a sitting ends without an argument.
- Stop using the app: there is no account to close and nothing left behind on any server.
13Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version is published here with a new date at the top. Any change that involved collecting data would require a new release of the app, a new permission in it, and an updated Data safety declaration on Google Play — so it could not happen quietly.
