My Little World Learning, LLC ("we," "our," or "us") is dedicated to protecting the privacy, safety, and confidentiality of individuals, children, families, educators, and therapists who use myRoutine.
myRoutine is a visual daily schedule planner designed to provide predictable routines, ease daily transitions, and build independence for individuals, including those with autism, ADHD, and sensory processing needs. This Privacy Policy outlines our standards and practices regarding the collection, storage, protection, and processing of personal data in strict compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / GDPR-K), and the Google Play Developer Program and Families Policies.
A. Account & Authentication Data (Optional)
What We Collect: When you voluntarily sign in with Google via Android Credential Manager, we receive your Google account display name, email address, and unique Google/Firebase User ID (UID).
Purpose: Strictly used to authenticate your session, associate your schedules with your personal account, and enable encrypted, multi-device cloud synchronization across your authorized family devices.
Storage & Management: Authentication tokens are managed through Google Firebase Authentication.
B. User-Generated Schedules & Child Profiles
What We Collect: Routine titles (e.g., "Morning Routine", "Bedtime"), step items, completion timestamps, customized countdown timer durations, selected avatar emojis, child first names or nicknames (up to a limit of 10 child profiles), and optional sensory/therapist notes.
Purpose: To provide core visual schedule and First-Then board functionalities.
Storage: Stored locally on the user's device in a private SQLite database via Android Room. When signed into a Google account, data is synchronized to a private, authenticated Google Cloud Firestore database protected by zero-trust security rules.
C. Photos & Media
What We Collect: Custom step photos selected to represent schedule tasks.
Zero-Permission Photo Picker: We utilize the official Android Photo Picker API. myRoutine does not request or require broad read access to your device storage (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE or READ_MEDIA_IMAGES).
Storage & Privacy: Custom photos remain strictly local to your device's sandboxed app storage. Photos are never uploaded to external servers, never shared with third parties, and never used for facial recognition or automated machine learning.
D. Financial & Purchase Information
Voluntary Support & Tips: myRoutine provides optional in-app tip tiers ($5, $10, $20) to support ongoing development.
Processing: All transactions are processed solely by Google Play In-App Billing. My Little World Learning, LLC does not collect, receive, or store credit card numbers, bank account details, or billing addresses.
E. Diagnostics & Voluntary Feedback
What We Collect: If you voluntarily submit a bug report via the in-app "Report a Bug" screen, you may transmit diagnostic technical info (device model, Android OS version, app version code) and an optional contact email.
Purpose: Used strictly to analyze, reproduce, and resolve technical application bugs.
myRoutine is designed specifically to support children, parents, and developmental caregivers:
No Direct Data Collection from Children: We do not knowingly solicit, request, or collect personal identifiable information directly from children under the age of 13.
Parental & Caregiver Administration: All account sign-ins, profile creations, and configuration changes are performed under the direct management and supervision of a parent, legal guardian, teacher, or therapist.
Pseudonymous Profiles: Child profiles only use a first name or nickname and an avatar emoji. No child birthdates, physical home addresses, school locations, or contact numbers are ever requested or stored.
Zero Behavioral Profiling: We never create advertising profiles, track children across apps or websites, or monetize children’s data.
No Advertisements: myRoutine contains no third-party banner ads, video ads, interstitial ads, or sponsored promotional content.
No Data Brokers: We do not sell, rent, monetize, trade, or lease any user or child data to third-party data brokers, analytics firms, or behavioral advertising networks.
We restrict third-party service providers to industry-standard infrastructure necessary for core app capabilities:
Google Firebase Authentication & Google Cloud Firestore (Google LLC):
Used for user authentication and encrypted multi-device cloud synchronization.
Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google Play In-App Billing (Google LLC):
Used for processing voluntary developer support tips securely.
Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Zero-Trust Cloud Rules: Google Cloud Firestore security rules mandate that all read and write queries must be cryptographically authenticated (request.auth.uid == userId). No user or device can access another family's schedules or child profiles.
Encryption in Transit: All network communication uses Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS).
Encryption at Rest: Cloud database records are encrypted at rest by Google Cloud infrastructure (AES-256).
Local Sandboxing: On-device application data is isolated within Android’s secure app sandbox.
In-App Deletion: Users can delete individual routines, steps, or child profiles at any time. Deleting an item removes it from local device storage and transmits an immediate real-time delete command to the cloud database.
Full Account & Cloud Data Deletion: To permanently delete all cloud-stored account records, users can tap "Delete All Cloud Data" in Settings or email support@mylittleworldlearning.com with the subject "Data Deletion Request". All cloud database records associated with the User ID will be permanently purged within 30 days.
App Uninstallation: Uninstalling myRoutine immediately wipes all local database records, cached media, and user preferences from your device.
In compliance with Google Play Developer Program policies:
android.permission.INTERNET: Required solely to communicate with Google Firebase servers for optional sign-in, cloud synchronization, and bug report submission.
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Used to check connectivity prior to synchronizing schedules.
android.permission.VIBRATE: Used exclusively for gentle, sensory-friendly haptic vibrations when a routine step timer expires.
com.android.vending.BILLING: Used by Google Play In-App Billing for optional developer support tips.
Zero Sensitive Runtime Permissions: myRoutine does not request device location, microphone, camera, contacts, or broad external storage permissions.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect app updates or regulatory standards. Any changes will be posted within the application under Settings > Privacy Policy with an updated "Last Updated" date.
