1. Introduction & Studio Commitment to Children’s Privacy
Delanki (“we”, “our”, or “the Studio”) is the developer and publisher of Early Learner, an interactive foundational learning mobile application created for toddlers, preschoolers, and young children.
We believe that childhood is sacred and that educational technology should be a safe, quiet garden for exploration—free from commercial surveillance, behavioral conditioning, and data harvesting.
This Privacy Policy applies specifically to the Early Learner mobile software application across all supported device platforms (including Android builds distributed via APK and official application stores). It explains in clear, plain language how our software operates with respect to user information, device storage, and parental rights.
2. COPPA & Global Child Protection Standards
Early Learner is fully compliant with the United States Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) (16 CFR Part 312), the United Kingdom Age Appropriate Design Code, and GDPR-Kids (GDPR Article 8) standards.
3. Information We Do NOT Collect
To provide absolute peace of mind to parents and educators, here is an explicit enumeration of data categories that Early Learner NEVER collects, accesses, or stores:
No full name, child nickname, age, date of birth, gender, facial photos, or voice recordings are ever requested or stored.
We do not read Google Advertising ID (GAID), IDFA, Android ID, IMEI, MAC addresses, or browser canvas fingerprints.
We do not request GPS location, cellular tower triangulation, or Wi-Fi SSID network details.
There are no microtransactions, credit card input forms, subscription traps, or currency purchases in the app.
4. 100% Local SQLite Architecture
Early Learner is engineered with an Offline-First & Local-Only architecture. All educational state and interaction data are stored exclusively on the user's physical device:
What is stored inside the local SQLite database:
- Alphabet & Hindi Varnamala lesson completion progress (e.g., "Lesson A completed")
- Star Garden reward tokens earned during quizzes
- Temporary handwriting tracing canvas points (discarded after letter completion)
- Audio volume toggle preferences (sound enabled / muted)
Zero Cloud Replication: This SQLite database is contained inside the Android application's private sandbox. It is never synced to external cloud databases, Google Firebase, or remote analytics endpoints.
5. Hardware & Device Permissions
Early Learner requests only the minimal technical capabilities required to play educational sounds and render smooth handwriting strokes:
6. Zero Advertising & No Third-Party Trackers
Commercial advertising networks have no place in early childhood learning environments. We explicitly affirm that:
- No Ad Networks: We do not integrate Google AdMob, Unity Ads, AppLovin, ironSource, or any commercial ad exchange.
- No Analytics SDKs: We do not include Firebase Analytics, AppsFlyer, Mixpanel, or adjust trackers in the application code.
- No Data Brokering: We have zero commercial agreements with data brokers, aggregators, or marketing firms.
7. Parental Rights & Data Deletion
Parents and legal guardians retain complete, sovereign authority over all aspects of their child's use of Early Learner:
8. External Links & Safety Gates
To prevent accidental browser navigation by young children:
- The core learning gameplay contains no active hyperlinks or web browsing capabilities.
- Any external link (such as viewing the open-source code repository or contacting support) is restricted behind a parental gate (e.g., requiring an arithmetic challenge or parent confirmation).
9. Google Play Families & App Store Policy Alignment
Early Learner is specifically structured to comply with Google Play's Families Policy:
Target Age Group: Toddlers and children ages 5 and under, and ages 6 to 8.
App Content & Experience: Free of violence, inappropriate language, fear triggers, or adult themes.
SDK Verification: Zero non-family-certified SDKs are included in the build.
10. Updates & Parental Contact Desk
We may periodically review and update this Privacy Policy to reflect new regulatory requirements or app improvements. Any revisions will be published directly to this URL:
