Privacy Policy

Kids Painting Dress Up & Color (“the app”) is developed by the phonicademy.com team. The app is designed for young children and is built privacy-first: there is no account, no login, no chat, and zero advertising. Nothing the app creates leaves the device unless a grown-up chooses to share it.

What we do NOT collect

• NO name, NO email, NO date of birth, NO contact information. There is no account or login.
• NO camera and NO microphone — the app does not ask for either permission and never uses them.
• NO location, NO contacts, NO calendar, NO photo library scan.
• NO advertising identifier — the app does not read it, and the Android advertising ID (AD_ID) permission has been removed.
• NO analytics, advertising, or tracking SDK — no Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics, ad network, Meta SDK, or similar. The app is completely ad-free.
• NO data sent to us or to any third party, ad network, data broker, or analytics vendor. Nothing leaves the device.

What stays on the device

• Characters, colored designs, and the closet — stored locally on your device only. When you use iCloud (iOS) or Google backup (Android) the operating system may include this data in your private device backup; we never see it.

Photos permission (save only)

The only permission the app may request is permission to add pictures to your photo library (on iOS, “NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription”). It is used only when a grown-up saves a picture of a design, and only behind the grown-up gate. The app cannot read, browse, or scan your existing photos. If you decline, everything else in the app still works.

Sharing and printing

The share sheet and printing (for example the Fashion Book PDF) are available only behind the grown-up gate. Only what the grown-up chooses to share or print leaves the app, and it goes to the app or printer the grown-up picks — not to us.

In-app purchases

The app offers one optional one-time purchase (“Pay once”). It is handled entirely by Apple's App Store or Google Play Billing. The app never sees your card or payment details, and we run no receipt server. Purchases sit behind the grown-up gate.

Children's privacy (COPPA / GDPR-K)

The app is designed for children and is intended for the Kids Category (App Store) and Families program (Google Play). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and because the app has no account, no analytics, and no network data collection, there is nothing to collect. If we ever become aware that a child has provided us with personal information (for example, through a support email), we delete it in a secure manner. If you are a parent or guardian with a concern, contact us using the details below.

Your choices

• Decline the Photos permission — the app still works; only saving a design image to the photo library is unavailable.
• Delete the app to wipe all local characters, designs, and the closet.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect immediately once posted on this page, so please check back periodically.
