LingoRoost: Privacy Policy

Last updated 8 November 2026 · LingoRoost has not been released yet; this page describes the app as it is built today.

In short. LingoRoost is a learning app for young children (letters, numbers, words, stories and games in English, Nepali, Hindi and Spanish), made by Prashant T. It has no accounts, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and it sends nothing about you or your child to us.

What the app keeps, on your device

For each child a grown-up adds, the app keeps:

• a nickname (please don't use a real name), an animal picture, the theme you chose, the languages they learn, and a few settings (such as which hand they write with);
• how they are getting on: which lessons they finished, their answers, the level they reached in each game, where they left off, and how long they played each day;
• pictures your child draws or colours and chooses to save in “My pictures”.

The app uses this information only on your device, to show your child's next step and their progress in the grown-ups' area. It is kept in the app's storage on your device, and copied into your device's own backups (such as iCloud Backup or a computer backup) if you use them. The developer never receives any of it.

The grown-ups' code

If you set a four-digit code for the grown-ups' area, it is kept as a scrambled value in your device's secure storage (the Keychain), on this device only. It is not synced to other devices, and the developer never receives it.

Purchases

LingoRoost Premium is planned as an annual subscription sold by Apple. Apple handles payment under its own privacy policy; the app only learns whether a subscription is active. Children are never asked to buy anything; purchases are in the grown-ups' area. Purchases are not available yet.

Sounds, voices and pictures

The voices, pictures and story videos come with the app; nothing is downloaded or uploaded while your child plays. LingoRoost does not use the microphone or the camera for children. (An earlier, internal version for reviewers can record a grown-up's voice; those recordings stay in the app on the device and in its backups, and are never uploaded. That feature is not part of the app families receive.)

Your choices

• In the grown-ups' area you can reset a child's levels or progress in a language, or remove a child, which deletes what the app keeps about them on the device.
• Saved pictures can be deleted one at a time in “My pictures”.
• Deleting the app removes its storage from the device. Copies already in your device's backups stay there until those backups are replaced or deleted, and your device may keep the scrambled grown-ups' code in its secure storage after the app is deleted.

Children

LingoRoost is made for children. The developer does not receive children's profiles, learning records or pictures: they are processed only on your device, as described above. The app has no chat, no sharing, no advertising and no links a child can follow. Its web and email links (Apple's standard Terms of Use, this page, and the contact address below) are in the grown-ups' area only.

Terms of use

LingoRoost is provided under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement: apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula.
