Privacy Policy — Little Counter

Last updated: 2026-05-19

Little Counter ("we", "our", "the app") is a math learning game designed for children aged 3–5, published by Hanzla Habib. This policy describes what data the app handles and how children's privacy is protected. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Google Play's Designed for Families program policies.

Information We Collect

We do not collect, transmit, or sell any personal information. All data stays on the device.

The app stores the following locally (in the device's browser/app storage) so that progress persists between sessions:

• Learning progress (correct answers, levels, streaks)
• In-app coins, XP, and unlocked items
• App settings (sound on/off, preferred language, optional reminder time)
• An optional player nickname chosen by the user (never sent anywhere)
• A 4-digit Parent Zone PIN, if set by a parent

None of this data leaves the device.

Information We Do Not Collect

• No real name, address, email, phone number, or account information
• No location data
• No camera, microphone, or contacts access
• No advertising identifiers
• No analytics, telemetry, or crash reporting sent to any third party

Third-Party Services

The app does not integrate any third-party SDKs that collect data. Specifically, the app contains no advertising networks, no analytics services (such as Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, or similar), and no crash reporting services that transmit data off-device.

Permissions

• Internet— required only for serving the app's static assets; no personal data is sent.
• Notifications (optional, Android 13+) — only requested if a parent enables daily learning reminders inside the PIN-protected Parent Zone. Notifications are scheduled locally on the device.

Children's Privacy

This app is intended for children with parental involvement.

• The Parent Zone is gated behind a 4-digit PIN set by the parent.
• Sharing features ("share your score") do not include any personally identifying information; the shared text refers to "a young learner" rather than a name.
• Notification permissions are only requested after a parent enables reminders inside the Parent Zone.
• There is no chat, social networking, or child-to-child communication of any kind.

Data Storage and Retention

All data is stored locally on the device and remains until the user clears app data, uninstalls the app, or resets progress from within the app. We do not retain any data on our servers because we do not operate servers that hold user data.

Data Sharing and Sale

We do not share, sell, rent, or transfer any data to anyone. Because we do not collect data off-device, there is no data to share.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be published here with a new "Last updated" date. Material changes will be reflected in the app's release notes.
