[Learning Records] Supported learning records stay on the device and can be reviewed in the learning report. Some games award local stars for visual progress. [Ads and Internet Access] This free app displays contextual ads in internal learning and game content. Every ad request uses conservative child-directed treatment and a maximum G content rating for younger learners as well as adults. The app does not use personalized or interest-based ads, remarketing, or tracking that links activity with other companies' apps or websites. It does not request ATT permission or use IDFA. For ad delivery and measurement, and to prevent invalid traffic and fraud, the advertising provider may process IP-derived coarse location, app and ad interactions, diagnostics, and applicable device or other identifiers. Internet is required for first-time setup and security verification. After setup, offline access to the ad-free launch screen and top-level main menu depends on the device’s saved security status. Internal learning and game content requires an internet connection for genuine-app and security checks, protected-content delivery, and ad delivery. Internal content is unavailable when network or ad delivery is blocked. [Privacy and Optional Permissions] The app does not ask for a date of birth or age range. Everyone receives the same child-protective advertising settings. General external links open after a parental check; the privacy policy is directly accessible. Previous local age-category records are removed when the app starts. Microphone and speech-recognition access is requested only when the learner starts speaking practice or voice input in word games such as word chains and quizzes. Supported speech recognition must run on-device; otherwise the activity does not start. Add-only Photos access is used only when the learner chooses to save a created image. The app does not require an account or login. It does not request contacts, a phone number, or precise location.
