Privacy Policy for Lijoch App
Developer: Habtech LLC
Effective Date: August 20, 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to the Lijoch Amharic Learning App ("Lijoch", "we", "us", "our"). We are committed to creating a safe, fun, and educational environment for children. Your child's privacy is extremely important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in our app and is designed to be compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the Google Play Families Policy.
This policy is written in simple language to be clear and easy for parents and guardians to understand.
2. What Information We Collect (And What We Don't)
Lijoch is designed with privacy as a top priority. We do not store, or share any personally identifiable information from children who use our app.
* Personal Information: We do not require users to create an account. We do not collect any personal information such as names, ages, email addresses, phone numbers, photos, videos, audio recordings, or location data.
* Non-Personal Information: The app may store some data locally on your device to save your child's progress (e.g., which lessons are completed, high scores in games). This information is stored only on the device and is never transmitted to us or any third party.
* To provide the correct app experience based on your region, the app performs a one-time, on-device check of your SIM card or device locale's country code. This information is processed ephemerally to determine if the app should be the 100% free version (for users in Ethiopia) or the freemium version with an in-app purchase (for all other countries). This country data is never stored, is never transmitted from your device, and is not linked to any personal information.
3. In-App Purchases
Lijoch is free to download and offers some content for free. The remaining content can be unlocked via a single, one-time in-app purchase.
* All transactions are processed securely by the platform's app store (Google Play Store or Apple App Store).
* We do not collect or have access to any of your financial information, such as credit card numbers. This data is handled exclusively by Google or Apple.
4. Third-Party Services
We do not integrate any third-party advertising, analytics, or social media SDKs into our app.
The only third-party service we use is the official Google Play Billing Library (or Apple's equivalent) to securely process the one-time purchase. This service is governed by Google's own Privacy Policy, which can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy
5. Our Commitment to Children's Privacy (COPPA)
Our app is directed at children under the age of 13. We are fully compliant with COPPA. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information, we will take steps to delete it as soon as possible.
Since we collect no personal information, there is no information for a parent to review, request deletion of, or prevent further collection of.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. We recommend you review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes are effective when they are posted on this page.
7. Contact Us
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our practices, please contact us. We are happy to provide parents with any additional information they need.
