The short version. ABC Learning is listed in Apple's Kids Category, which forbids third-party advertising and analytics SDKs outright — so there are none in this app. There are no accounts, no ads, nothing to buy, and no way to reach the open web. We do receive crash reports, through Google Firebase Crashlytics, so we can fix the app when it breaks. We never sell or share data with anyone.
Who we are
ABC Learning is made and published by Utsav Patel
(“we”, “us”), an independent developer. This policy covers the ABC
Learning app and the pages served from
abclearning-fb8a.web.app. Questions go to
utsavhacker@gmail.com.
What stays on the device
Everything about how a child uses the app:
- Progress and preferences. Which letters and quizzes have been completed, the chosen theme, and app settings are stored on the device.
- Downloaded content. The learning packs (letters, quizzes, images) the app fetches on first launch are kept on the device so it works offline afterwards. This is the same content every user downloads — it is not personalised to any one child. Words and letters are spoken using iOS's own on-device text-to-speech; no audio is downloaded or recorded.
What we do receive
The app includes exactly one measurement-adjacent service: Google Firebase Crashlytics. It is not an advertising service and it is not an analytics service — the App Store Kids Category does not permit either, so neither is present here.
When the app crashes, Crashlytics sends us a report so it can be fixed: where in our code it happened, the device model, the OS version, how much memory and storage was free, and a randomly generated installation identifier. Crash reports contain nothing a child typed or drew, because there is nothing in this app for a child to type.
Serving the content
On first launch, and occasionally afterwards to check for new content,
the app requests files from abclearning-fb8a.web.app. Like
any web server, Firebase Hosting logs those requests, including the IP
address that made them, and Google retains those logs for its own
operational and security purposes. We do not use them to build any profile
of a user.
What we never collect
| Not collected | Why not |
|---|---|
| Names, email addresses, phone numbers | There is no account and no form. The app never asks a child anything. |
| The Advertising Identifier (IDFA) | The Kids Category forbids advertising SDKs outright — none is present, so nothing reads it. You will never see an App Tracking Transparency prompt. |
| Any analytics or usage tracking | The Kids Category forbids third-party measurement SDKs outright. This app ships Crashlytics only. |
| Precise location | Never requested, and no location permission is ever asked for. |
| Contacts, calendar, microphone, camera, photos | Never requested. |
| Anything a child types or says | The app has no text entry and no voice recording — only tap-to-select answers. |
Tracking, advertising and selling data
We do not track users across apps or websites, and we do not allow anyone else to. There is no advertising SDK in ABC Learning, no in-app purchase, and no analytics partner of any kind. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising — under the CCPA/CPRA or under any other law.
Children
ABC Learning is made for young children and is built so there is nothing for a child to give away: no account, no sign-in, no name to enter, no chat, no comments, no user-to-user contact, no links out to the web, and no advertising. Anything that could change a setting or leave the app is behind a parental gate — a simple task a young child cannot complete on their own — so a child cannot wander into a browser, a store listing, or a device setting by accident.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age. The crash information described above is not tied to a name or to any identifier that could reasonably be used to recognise a person, and it is never used to advertise to anyone. If you are a parent or guardian and would like the data associated with a device deleted, write to us at utsavhacker@gmail.com and we will do it.
How long it is kept
Crash reports are retained by Google for up to 90 days. Server logs follow Google Cloud's own retention schedule. Progress, preferences and downloaded content are kept on the device until the app is deleted or its data is cleared — we hold no copy to delete.
Who else is involved
Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC process crash reports and hosting on our behalf, under Google's own terms. Their handling of that data is described in the Google Privacy Policy and the Firebase Privacy and Security notice. Nobody else receives anything.
Your rights
Depending on where you live — the EU and UK under the GDPR, California under the CCPA/CPRA, and comparable laws elsewhere — you may have the right to ask what we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to it being processed, or to receive a copy. Because we hold nothing that identifies a person, there is usually nothing to send back; where a request can be acted on, we act on it free of charge and within 30 days. Write to utsavhacker@gmail.com.
Security
Everything the app fetches is fetched over HTTPS. A child's progress sits in the app's own sandbox on the device, protected by iOS. No system is perfect, but there is very little here to lose: we hold no accounts, no passwords and no personal data.
Changes
If this policy changes we will post the new version on this page and move the date at the top. A change that materially affects what is collected will also be described in the app's release notes on the App Store.
