Bloomling collects nothing, uploads nothing, and shares nothing about your child. All settings and records stay only on your own device. The app has no servers, no accounts, and no sign-in, and is fully compliant with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and related rules. We do not collect any personally identifiable information from users, including children under 13.
What data we collect
None. Bloomling has no accounts, no sign-in, and no registration. We use no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs whatsoever (no Google Analytics, no Facebook SDK, no ad SDK).
What the app stores, and where
- The parent-approved site list: stored on your device only (the app sandbox).
- Activity toggles, per-weekday schedules, and card photos: stored on your device only.
- On-device usage counts and durations: stored on your device only, shown only to the parent inside the app.
This data never leaves the device, and we (the developer) cannot see it.
What we do NOT collect
- No name, email address, or any personal identifier
- No location data
- No voice or audio (it never leaves the device)
- No usage analytics or crash reports
- No advertising identifier (IDFA)
- No third-party data-collecting SDKs
Microphone & speech
The Math Tutor's voice-answer feature requests microphone access to recognize the number your child speaks. Speech recognition runs entirely on-device (requiresOnDeviceRecognition); audio is never uploaded or stored and is discarded immediately after matching. If on-device recognition isn't available, the app automatically falls back to tap-to-answer and does not use the microphone.
Network use
Bloomling uses the network only to: (1) load the exact parent-approved URL (a strict allow-list; the child cannot browse beyond it), and (2) optionally send settings device-to-device over the same Wi-Fi — a local, encrypted peer connection that never goes through a server and needs no Apple account.
Third-party content
Parents may add YouTube videos or single Instagram posts, shown in a locked, distraction-free embed. That content is provided by YouTube/Instagram under their own privacy policies; the child cannot navigate out to those sites. Parents should use their own discretion when adding such content.
Children's privacy (COPPA / GDPR-K)
Bloomling is designed for children and complies with COPPA and the EU's GDPR-K: no personal data collection, no third-party ads or tracking, and a parental gate in front of every exit from the kids' area.
Outbound Links & Parental Gate
All external links and the settings entry are secured behind a Parental Gate (a 3-digit multiplication multiple-choice question), ensuring children cannot leave the allow-list or change settings without adult supervision.
Data deletion
All data is stored locally on your device. To delete it, remove the app from the device, or clear individual content in Parent Settings.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update the last-updated date above. Significant changes will be noted in the App Store release notes.
