🤗 Kids Brain Games / AlgoKids Quest 📻 All FM (Live Radio & Devotional Audio)

Effective Date: January 1, 2026 | Last Updated: March 2026

1. Introduction & Covered Applications

Welcome to our applications (referred to as "we", "our", or "us"). We are dedicated to providing entertaining, educational, and spiritual audio experiences while respecting and safeguarding your privacy.

This single Privacy Policy covers our mobile applications published on Google Play, including:

2. Information We DO NOT Collect

Across all our applications, we adhere to strict data minimization. We do NOT collect, harvest, share, or sell any of the following personal data:

• Real names, home addresses, phone numbers, or email sign-ins (no account creation required).
• Precise GPS location or real-time geolocation tracking.
• Photos, camera captures, microphone recordings, or phone contacts.
• Biometric or financial banking details.

3. Application-Specific Data & Storage Practices

A. For "All FM" (Radio & Devotional Audio App)

• Audio Live Streaming (ExoPlayer): When you stream a radio station, the app connects directly to online HTTP/HLS audio stream servers. We do not monitor, record, or store your listening audio.
• Background & Foreground Playback Service: The app utilizes Android MediaSession and a foreground notification service so you can listen with screen off, adjust volume, and control playback from the lockscreen.
• Local Room Database Storage: Your Favorite Stations, Recently Played Stations, Active Listening Streaks, Equalizer Presets, Theme Preferences, and Sleep Timer settings are stored 100% locally on your device in an offline database.
• Daily Prayer & Reminder Notifications: If you schedule daily prayer reminders or notifications, they run locally or via Firebase Cloud Messaging without linking to your identity.

B. For "Kids Brain Games" (Kids & Family App)

• Game Progress: Levels unlocked, stars earned, and puzzle achievements are saved strictly on your local device.
• Parental Gate: In accordance with Google Play Families Policy, external links or settings are protected behind a Parental Gate.
• COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance: No personal identifiable information is collected from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU/EEA).

4. Advertisements & Third-Party Services

We use standard, industry-trusted third-party SDKs to deliver advertisements and maintain app stability:

A. Google AdMob (Advertising)

• In Kids Brain Games: Ads are strictly limited to Google Play Certified Families ad networks with TAG_FOR_CHILD_DIRECTED_TREATMENT enabled, restricted to MAX_AD_CONTENT_RATING_G, and served contextually without behavioral tracking.
• In All FM: Standard banner ads, station-switch interstitial ads, and optional rewarded ads (which grant temporary ad-free listening perks) are served via Google AdMob. Ads are capped in frequency to protect user experience.

B. In-App Purchases & Subscriptions (Google Play Billing)

If you choose to purchase an Ad-Free upgrade or subscription in any app, all billing transactions are securely processed directly by Google Play In-App Billing. We never have access to your credit card, bank details, or payment credentials.

C. Diagnostic Telemetry & Firebase

Non-identifiable aggregated diagnostics (such as crash stack traces and device model/OS version) may be processed to help us fix crashes, buffer errors, and improve streaming stability.

5. App Permissions & Why We Need Them

• INTERNET: Required to fetch live FM audio streams and load puzzle assets or ads.
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS: (Android 13+) Used strictly to show media player controls in the status bar/lockscreen and to send user-configured devotional/learning reminders.
• FOREGROUND_SERVICE: (All FM) Required to allow uninterrupted audio streaming while your screen is turned off or while using other apps.
• VIBRATE: Used for subtle haptic feedback on button taps and puzzle completion.

6. Data Retention, Security & User Control

Because your favorites, recently played history, listening streaks, and game progress are stored entirely on your local device:

• You can erase all your data at any time by going to your Android device Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Storage > Clear Data, or by uninstalling the application.
• You can enable or disable notifications anytime in your Android System Settings.
• All stream and ad network communications are conducted over secure encrypted HTTPS connections.

7. Children's Privacy Notice

For apps categorized under the Google Play Families program (e.g., Kids Brain Games), we strictly comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and international children's privacy regulations. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any modifications will be updated on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage users to periodically check this page for any updates.
