Effective Date: September 22, 2025

Introduction

Welcome to Giggly Card ("we," "us," or "our"), an educational mobile application designed to help young children learn English through interactive flashcards. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our app. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users, especially children, and comply with applicable privacy laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

By using Giggly Card, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

Information We Collect

Giggly Card is designed to be a safe, educational tool. We strive to minimize data collection to protect user privacy.

Information You Provide

• None: We do not require users to create accounts or provide personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers.

Information Collected Automatically

• Device Information: We do not collect any personal information or device-specific non-personal data (e.g., device type, operating system version, or app usage statistics). Any such data remains on your device and is not transmitted to us.
• Cached Images and Content: The app caches images and audio files from external sources (e.g., Cloudinary and Vercel Storage) to enable offline viewing. This data is stored locally on your device and not transmitted to us.
• Shared Preferences: The app uses local storage to save user preferences, such as selected language or progress in learning categories. This data remains on your device and is not shared with us or third parties.
• Google Generative AI Integration: If enabled, the app may send anonymized queries to Google's Generative AI service for enhanced learning features (e.g., generating example sentences). No personal data is included in these queries. Google may collect usage data as per their privacy policy.

We do not collect, store, or share personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, locations, or contact details.

How We Use Information

Any information collected is used solely to:

• Provide and improve the educational features of the app.
• Ensure the app functions properly on your device.
• Analyze app usage to enhance user experience (e.g., fixing bugs or adding popular categories).
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not use collected information for advertising, marketing, or any commercial purposes.

Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Giggly Card is intended for children and families. We take children's privacy seriously and adhere to COPPA. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their children's use of the app.

• The app does not collect personal information from users.
• Any data collected is anonymized and used only for app improvement.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
