Phonics Star Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 November 2026

1. About this policy

This policy explains how the Phonics Star app ("Phonics Star: Learn to Read" on the App Store and Google Play), made by Lit Games Publishing ("we"), handles information. Phonics Star teaches young children to read with phonics and is made to be used with a parent nearby.

In short: Phonics Star does not collect any personal data. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no advertising IDs. The lessons, pictures and audio are inside the app and work offline.

2. What stays on the device

  • Progress and settings. Finished lessons, stickers, practice results, minutes played, the chosen voice (UK or US) and sound settings are saved only on the device. They are never sent to us or anyone else.
  • Microphone. In the "say it" step a child can record themselves saying a sound and hear it played back. The recording is kept in one temporary file on the device, replaced by the next recording, and is never uploaded, shared or analysed. The microphone is used only in that step, and only after the device asks for permission.

3. Purchases

Subscriptions and the one-time Lifetime purchase are handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We do not see or store payment details. The app asks the store, on the device, whether a purchase is active so it can unlock the lessons and restore them after a reinstall.

4. Children

Phonics Star is designed for children aged about 3 to 7. Purchases, links that leave the app (such as this page and email) and the parents' area are behind a parental question. The app has no ads, no chat, no social features and no third-party SDKs, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

5. Deleting data

Everything the app saves is on the device. To delete it, use Parents > Reset in the app, or uninstall the app.

6. Changes and contact

We may update this policy when the app changes. The new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Questions or requests: litpublishinguk@gmail.com.
