1. Who we are
Laby Kids is an educational app for iOS, iPadOS and Android, developed and published by Alex Lombry (contact@nativlab.app). This Privacy Policy covers both versions; where they differ, the platform is named.
2. Information I collect
I collect no personal information. Laby Kids is a fully offline app. It never transmits any data to me or to any third party.
| Data type | Collected? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email, or contact info | No account or registration exists | |
| Location | Never requested | |
| Device identifiers (IDFA, AAID, etc.) | No advertising frameworks used | |
| Usage analytics | No analytics SDK integrated | |
| Crash reports | No crash reporting service | |
| Camera / microphone | Not requested | |
| Contacts / photos | Not requested | |
| Payment information | Paid upfront on the App Store and Google Play - no in-app purchases |
3. On-device storage
Laby Kids stores a small amount of data locally on your device: on iOS and iPadOS with Apple's UserDefaults, on Android with Jetpack DataStore. On iOS, if you are signed into iCloud, the same data - child profile names/emoji and progress stats - is also mirrored to Apple's NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore so it stays in sync across your own devices; that sync is handled entirely by Apple's infrastructure, and I never see, receive, or store any of it on a server I control. The Android version has no sync: its data does not leave the device, except that Android's own automatic backup may include it in the encrypted backup held in your Google account, which I likewise never see. All of it is removed if you delete the app.
| What is stored | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Problems solved today | Display daily progress on the splash screen |
| Day streak count | Motivational streak counter |
| All-time 3-star win count | Personal achievement display |
| Selected language override | Remember the user's language choice across launches |
| Last selected game level & operations | Restore settings between sessions |
4. Third-party services
Laby Kids integrates no third-party SDKs, frameworks, or services - no advertising networks, analytics platforms, social login providers, crash reporters, or payment processors, on either platform. The only frameworks used are the ones the systems ship: on iOS, SwiftUI, SpriteKit, AVFoundation, LocalAuthentication (for the parent dashboard's Face ID / Touch ID lock), StoreKit (for the App Store rating prompt) and iCloud's key-value store; on Android, Jetpack Compose, DataStore, SoundPool, AlarmManager (for the daily streak reminder) and the system's own device-credential screen, which locks the parent dashboard behind the PIN, pattern or fingerprint already set on the device - the app never sees the credential itself.
5. Children's privacy
Laby Kids is designed specifically for children. I take children's privacy seriously and have built the app to require no personal information under any circumstances. Parents may optionally type a first name or nickname for each child profile - this stays on-device (and, on iOS with iCloud enabled, syncs only between your own devices); it is never transmitted to me or to any third party.
The app is compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), with Apple's App Store guidelines for apps directed at children, and with Google Play's Families policy. Since no data is collected, no parental consent is required.
6. Network access
Laby Kids makes no network requests to me or to any third party. On iOS and iPadOS the only network activity the app can perform is Apple's own iCloud key-value sync, used solely to mirror child profiles and progress stats between your own devices signed into the same iCloud account; if iCloud is unavailable or you are offline, the app works exactly the same. The Android version makes no network requests at all - it does not even declare the internet permission. Its one permission covers notifications, for a single local daily reminder that never leaves the device. All game content, including mazes, questions, and translations, is bundled within the app itself.
7. Data retention
Since no data is transmitted off-device, there is nothing for me to retain or delete. The local data described in Section 3 is retained on-device until the app is uninstalled, at which point the system removes it automatically.
8. Your rights
Because I collect no personal data, there is no personal data to access, correct, export, or delete on my end. If you wish to clear all local app data, simply delete and reinstall the app - iOS and Android both remove the app's local data automatically.
9. Changes to this policy
If I update this Privacy Policy, the updated version will be published at this URL with a revised "Last updated" date. I encourage you to review this page periodically. Material changes that affect how data is handled will be communicated through an app update notice.
