## 1. Who We Are
Tiny Explorers is a children's educational app developed by **TinyTechs**. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you or your child uses our app.
---
## 2. Information We Do NOT Collect
We are committed to protecting children's privacy. Tiny Explorers does **not** collect:
- Names, email addresses, or any personal information
- Location data
- Photos, microphone recordings, or camera data
- Device identifiers linked to a person
- Usage data tied to any individual user
- Any information from children under 13
We do **not** show advertisements of any kind.

## 3. What the App Does Store (On-Device Only)
To save your child's progress and remember your purchase, the app stores the following **locally on your device only**:
| Data | Where stored | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Level completion progress | Device (Expo SecureStore) | Remember which levels are done |
| Purchase status (yes/no) | Device (Expo SecureStore) | Unlock paid chapters after purchase |
This data **never leaves your device** and is **never sent to us or any third party**.
---
## 4. In-App Purchases
Tiny Explorers offers a one-time in-app purchase ("Unlock Full Access") to unlock all chapters. This purchase is processed entirely by **Google Play** (Android) or **Apple App Store** (iOS). We do not see, store, or handle your payment information.
Purchase receipts are validated by **RevenueCat** (our payment infrastructure provider). RevenueCat may process a purchase receipt to confirm entitlement. Their privacy policy is available at [revenuecat.com/privacy](https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy). No personal information about your child is involved in this process.
We require a **parental gate** (a simple math question) before any purchase can be made, to ensure a parent or guardian is in control.

## 5. Third-Party Services
Tiny Explorers uses the following third-party services:
| Service | Purpose | Data shared |
|---|---|---|
| RevenueCat | Purchase validation | Purchase receipt only (no personal data) |
| Google Play / Apple App Store | Payment processing | Handled entirely by the store |
| expo-speech | Text-to-speech voice prompts | Processed on-device only, no data sent |
We do **not** use advertising networks, social media SDKs, crash analytics tools, or any other third-party trackers.

## 6. COPPA Compliance
This app is directed at children and complies with the **Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)**. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately at **saini.yash88@zohomail.in** and we will delete it promptly.

As a parent or guardian, you have the right to:
- Review what progress data is stored (it is all local on your device)

## 8. Data Security
All data the app stores is kept on your device using Expo SecureStore, which uses the device's secure storage (Android Keystore / iOS Keychain). We do not operate servers that hold your data.
