Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 30, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use applications and related services published under the ABCTalkWithMe brand, including but not limited to Abctalkwithme, ABC GO, and associated digital content such as downloadable flashcards, augmented reality markers, and physical products.

This Policy applies to all users, including parents, guardians, and children.

1. About the Author

All applications and digital services are created and maintained by:
Maksym Ronshyn
📧 Email: info@abctalkwithme.com

2. No Personal Data Collection from Children

We do not knowingly collect, store, or transmit any personal information from children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). The applications:

  • Do not require user registration,
  • Do not access contacts, calendar, or device identifiers,
  • Do not include advertisements,
  • Do not offer in-app purchases,
  • Do not enable social sharing or communication.

The camera is used only for AR marker recognition and no visual data is stored, transmitted, or processed on our servers.

3. Data Collection (Optional Analytics)

We may, with parental consent or through app store mechanisms, collect anonymized technical data solely to improve the application’s performance. This may include:

  • App version and language,
  • Device type and OS version,
  • Crash reports,
  • Basic, non-identifiable usage statistics.

No personal data is linked to this information. It is never sold or used for advertising purposes.

You can opt out of analytics by disabling analytics in device settings.

4. Use of Camera and Augmented Reality (AR)

Our apps may access your device’s camera only while using AR features. This is used exclusively to detect printed cards or markers and display animations or 3D content.

  • No image, video, or biometric data is stored or transmitted.
  • Camera data stays local to your device during app use.

5. Use of Files and Storage

Some app versions may allow users to:

  • Download digital card packs or PDF content,
  • Scan QR codes for additional resources,
  • Store local preferences or offline resources.

We do not access any other files on your device and do not transmit files or data externally.

6. Third-Party Services

We do not use third-party advertising or embedded social networks.

In limited cases (e.g., crash analytics or cloud delivery of assets), we may rely on platform-provided infrastructure such as Apple or Google Play services, which are subject to their respective privacy policies.

All external content for parents (e.g., help pages, suggestion forms) is separated from child-accessible content.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect data (if any) from unauthorized access or loss.
As our apps do not store personal data, risk of exposure is minimized by design.

8. Regulatory Considerations

We aim to design our applications in alignment with international privacy principles and to respect children’s digital rights. This includes taking into account frameworks such as:

  • The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the USA,
  • The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR-K) in the EU and UK.

We do not claim full legal compliance in all jurisdictions but are committed to continuous privacy-conscious development.

If you are a parent, guardian, or authority with privacy concerns, contact us at info@abctalkwithme.com.

9. Parental Rights and Control

Parents and guardians may:

  • Disable analytics (if present) via device settings,
  • Control camera access through app permissions,
  • Request clarifications about how our products work.

We encourage active parental supervision during use. Our applications are not intended to replace interaction with a caregiver or structured education.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as needed. All changes will be posted on our website and reflected in app store listings.

We encourage users to review it periodically.
