Polly Privacy Policy

How we protect your privacy and handle your data in Polly

Last updated: January 25, 2026

Privacy-First Design

Polly is designed from the ground up with your privacy in mind. We follow a "zero data collection" approach and comply with COPPA, GDPR, and other privacy regulations.

Privacy First Approach

Polly is designed with privacy as a core principle. We follow a "privacy by design" methodology and collect zero personal data. Everything is stored locally on your device with no external data transmission, making it safe for all ages and compliant with international privacy laws including COPPA, GDPR, and CCPA.

What Data We Store

Polly only stores the following data locally on your device:

  • Learning Progress: Your vocabulary progress, completed lessons, and learning statistics
  • App Preferences: Your settings such as selected languages and display preferences

What We Don't Collect

Polly follows a strict "zero data collection" policy. We do not collect:

  • Personal information (name, email, phone number, age)
  • Location data or GPS coordinates
  • Device identifiers (UDID, IDFA, advertising IDs)
  • Usage analytics, metrics, or tracking data
  • Biometric data (Face ID, Touch ID data)
  • Audio recordings or microphone access
  • Contact lists or calendar information
  • Data from third-party sources or social media
  • Network activity or browsing history
  • Any data transmitted outside your device

No Account Required

Polly does not require you to create an account or sign in. You can start learning immediately after downloading the app. There is no registration, no email verification, and no personal information needed to use Polly.

Local Storage Only

All your data remains on your device. When you delete the Polly app, all your data (learning progress and preferences) is permanently removed. We have no access to your data and no data is sent to our servers or any third-party services.

In-App Purchases

Polly offers a one-time in-app purchase:

  • Polly Lifetime ($19.99): A one-time purchase that unlocks all premium features forever

Purchase Processing: All transactions are processed securely through Apple's App Store. We do not collect, store, or process payment information. Apple handles all billing, receipts, and refunds according to their policies.

Family Sharing: In-app purchases support Apple's Family Sharing feature, allowing family members to share purchases while maintaining privacy protection.

Children's Privacy & COPPA Compliance

Polly is designed to be completely safe for users of all ages and fully complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), GDPR Article 8 (child protection), and other international children's privacy laws.

COPPA Compliant: No personal information collection from children under 13

  • Zero data collection - No personal information from users of any age
  • No account required - No registration or sign-up process
  • No online features - No social features, chat, or communication with strangers

Data Control

You have complete control over your data. To delete all your Polly data (learning progress and preferences), simply delete the app from your device. No data will remain on any servers because none was collected.

International Privacy Compliance

Polly complies with privacy laws worldwide:

  • COPPA (USA): Children's Online Privacy Protection Act compliance
  • GDPR (EU): General Data Protection Regulation, including Article 8 child protection
  • CCPA (California): California Consumer Privacy Act compliance
  • PIPEDA (Canada): Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act

Data Security

Even though we don't collect personal data, we implement security best practices:

  • App Store security: Distributed only through Apple's secure App Store
  • Code integrity: App is digitally signed and verified by Apple
  • Local encryption: Local data uses iOS built-in encryption
  • No network vulnerabilities: No network connections eliminate security risks
  • Regular updates: Security updates distributed through App Store

Your Rights

Since Polly doesn't collect personal data, traditional data rights don't apply. However, you have complete control:

  • Data deletion: Delete all data by removing the app
  • No consent required: No data collection means no consent needed
  • Transparent operation: This policy fully describes all app functionality

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in the app, legal requirements, or privacy best practices. Any significant changes will be communicated through app updates with version notes. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when changes were made.
