Nanhe TaarePrivacy policy for Nanhe Taare
Who we are
Nanhe Taare is made by IfStatic Technologies ("we", "us") and used with G.L. Academy. You can contact us at contact@ifstatic.com.
What stays on your phone
To work, the app keeps the following only on the phone, inside the app's own private storage:
- the child's first name, if a parent types one in, and the class chosen (Nursery, LKG or UKG)
- lesson progress, stars earned, and how many minutes were used each day
- settings: language, sound, the daily time limit, and the practice reminder time and days
- an optional photo of the child, if a parent chooses to take one for the progress card
- the last school notices file the app downloaded
None of this is sent to us or to anyone else. It is removed when the app is uninstalled or its storage is cleared. A parent can delete the photo any time from the share screen in the parent area.
What we collect
Nothing. We do not run a server that receives data from the app. The app contains no analytics, no crash-reporting service, no advertising and no third-party code that collects information.
The one internet request
When the phone is online, the app downloads a small public file of school notices (admissions, events) from our website, nanhetaare.ifstatic.com, over a secure connection. The request carries no name, no progress and no device identifier that we add. Like any web request, our web server can see the phone's internet address. The app works the same without this download.
The camera
The app does not ask for camera permission. When a parent chooses to add a photo, the app opens the phone's own camera app, and receives only the picture the parent confirms. The photo is stored on the phone only.
Sharing a progress card
A parent can create a progress card with the child's first name, progress, stars, the school's name and website, and, if switched on, the photo. Nothing leaves the phone until the parent taps Share and picks an app (for example a messaging app) in Android's share screen. We do not receive the card. What happens after that is governed by the app the parent chose. The share button on child screens is protected by the grown-up question, so a child cannot share by accident.
Links to other websites
The parent area has buttons that open the school's website and our company website in the phone's browser, and a button that opens the phone dialler with the school's phone number. Those sites have their own policies. The lessons contain no links.
Notifications
If a parent turns on the daily practice reminder, the app shows a notification at the chosen time. It is scheduled on the phone itself. It does not use a push-notification service. Android asks for permission first, and it can be turned off in the phone's settings at any time.
Children
Nanhe Taare is designed for children aged 3 to 6 to use with a parent's help. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and the app does not show advertising or let children chat or post. Settings and sharing are behind a grown-up maths question.
Security
Because the app stores information only on the phone, it is protected by the phone's own security and Android's app storage separation.
Changes to this policy
If the app ever changes what it collects, we will update this page and the date above before the change reaches the app.
